美国大选虽然已经正式落下帷幕，但距离特朗普明年正式宣誓就职还有2个多月的过渡时间。据报道，Some Democratic governors and district attorneys are forming a "Resist Trump" coalition, aiming to partially offset the effects of Trump's policies through unity and cooperation among Democrats.

Senior Democratic lawyer Bakari Sellers, who previously served as a state representative in South Carolina, is well-versed in American political rules. Recently, during an appearance on a TV program, he made a surprising suggestion, advising Biden to seize the current brief window of opportunity to appoint Harris as a Supreme Court Justice, so that she can continue to serve the Democratic Party after stepping down as Vice President. Some analyses also point out that during Obama's presidency, there was a precedent of appointing a lawyer with no judicial experience as a Supreme Court Justice.

Former Congressman: Appoint Harris without delay, disregarding what Republicans think.

Cyrus says that Sonia Sotomayor, the liberal Supreme Court Justice who is now years old, might retire from the US Supreme Court due to health issues, which would create an opportunity for President Biden to nominate Harris. Cyrus stated, "I seriously think this is a good plan, and I believe it is very likely to eventually happen."

美国最高法院共有9名大法官，其中有4人的年龄不小于70岁，一旦这些人在未来4年里因健康原因退休或病逝，特朗普将得以提名保守派法官人选。塞勒斯表示：“我提的建议没有任何不合理的地方。Let's not worry about what the Republicans think. What's important is to get this done quickly, as it is within your power as President, Biden. You need to make the most of the final weeks to play the most crucial role.”

U.S. Supreme Court Justices generally serve for life, though there have been precedents of voluntary retirement due to poor health. When a vacancy occurs, the new nominee for Justice is appointed by the President and confirmed by a simple majority in the Senate. Currently, there is an independent, non-partisan Senator in the Senate who is allied with the Democratic Party, giving the Democrats a slim majority advantage. In the recent Senate elections, the Republican Party achieved a significant victory, but the new Senators will not officially take office until next month, providing the Democratic Party with a theoretical window of opportunity to "rush" the nomination of Harris.

Although Harris is a law school graduate, her previous career only included being a lawyer and the District Attorney of California, and she has never held a position in the judiciary (court). However, some analysis suggests that this does not pose a significant obstacle. During President Obama's tenure, Elena Kagan, who had no judicial experience, was appointed as a Supreme Court Justice. Moreover, Chief Justice John Roberts, nominated by former Republican President George W. Bush, had only a year of judicial experience before his nomination, having served as a judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

The Democratic Party has previously had "lessons," and reactions from various sectors of American society to this suggestion have been mixed.

Cyrus stated that the root of his suggestion was his concern over Sotomayor's poor health. At her current age, Sotomayor suffers from Type 1 diabetes, and her long history with the disease has left her with worse-than-average conditions in her nervous system, vision, cardiovascular system, and kidney function compared to her peers.

塞勒斯指出：“很显然索托马约尔是一名优秀的法官，但她有她的个人状况，我不希望她变成下一个RBG。”RBG是曾经的自由派大法官鲁斯·巴德·金斯伯格的代号，她曾经深受民主党人喜爱，最终在特朗普任期的最后几个月内病逝，使得特朗普得以提名保守派大法官取代她。这一事件也巩固了保守派（倾向共和党）在最高法院的优势，Currently, among the justices, some were nominated by the Republican Party, and others were nominated by the Democratic Party.

Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Management at the University of Pittsburgh, Miranda Yaver, posted on Election Day, "Sotomayor should retire tomorrow and let the Senate confirm her successor."

David Dayen, the editor of The American Prospect, wrote an article expressing the same view: "This might be a good day for Sotomayor to retire."

Maria Town, president of the American Association of People with Disabilities, expressed concern earlier this year that these views were "pure disability discrimination." Mia Ives-Rublee, director of the Disability Justice Initiative at the American Progress, also opposed calls for Sotomayor's resignation earlier this year. "I believe, like all people with disabilities, she knows her body best. Bodily autonomy is not just about reproductive rights; it's about allowing people, including those with disabilities, to choose the lifestyle they want."

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre previously stated that Biden would not actively ask Sotomayor to resign. She said, "When we talk about these types of decisions, they are personal decisions, whether it's Justice Sotomayor or any other judge."
