Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin has dismissed calls for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down to allow President Joe Biden to appoint a replacement before the new administration begins. Durbin emphasized the impracticality of such a scenario, citing the pressing legislative agenda that includes the budget, Defense Authorization Act, and other crucial matters.
Regarding Biden's judicial nominations, Durbin expressed confidence that more nominees would advance through committee processes before the current Congress concludes.
