Serious question: if she did retire, how likely would the current US senate (which includes 'Democrats' like Joe Manchin) be to confirm someone as liberal as Sotomayor? They confirmed Brown Jackson of course, but is she comparable to Sotomayor or is she only liberal compared to the likes of Gorsuch and Kavanaugh?

Manchin would fuck it up

Sen. Joe Manchin, a critical swing vote in the closely divided Senate, said Wednesday that from now on, he will only vote to confirm nominees who have the support of at least one Republican senator.

Im going to be very honest with everybody, if my Democratic colleagues and friends cant get one Republican vote, dont count on me. You cant make it bipartisan, dont count on me, said the West Virginia Democrat who has announced his retirement that will begin in January 2025.
