Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Sunday defended Justice Sonia Sotomayor, whom some Democrats have reportedly considered pressuring to step down while President Joe Biden is still in office.

"No," Sanders said, when asked by "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker whether he thinks Sotomayor, who is 70, should step down from her post while Biden can nominate a liberal replacement.

He added that he's heard "a little bit" of talk from Democratic senators about asking Sotomayor, who is serving a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, to step aside.

"I don't think it's sensible," Sanders said, without elaborating on his position further.

1. Are we completely insane?!

You’d never get a replacement confirmed in time and she’s only 70 in good health.
