'It would really be in the public's best interest for her to do a very statesmanlike thing and step down from the Court,' Paul Campos said.
Law professor Paul Campos warned on Saturday that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor remaining on the bench poses a 'risk' amid the upcoming 2024 presidential election.Sotomayor who was born in the Bronx, New York, is the first Latina and the third woman to serve on the Supreme Court. At 69 years old, Sotomayor is the oldest justice to have been picked by a Democrat as she was appointed by then-President Barack Obama in 2009.
He added: 'The chance that one or both of those things will happen is so high that it just simply isn't worth it to take that kind of a risk...It would really be in the public's best interest for her to do a very statesmanlike thing and step down from the Court rather than running this risk, which would be a completely catastrophic development.'Newsweek has reached out to the Supreme Court via email for comment.
