Trump would face little to no resistance in confirming his picks for Supreme Court justices in the majority-GOP Congress, but Alito has no plans to step down.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has made clear she has no plans to step down, according to people close to her, despite calls from some on the left that President Joe Biden should be allowed to try to name a successor before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Republicans have argued that it would be wise for Alito, who was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2006, and Justice Clarence Thomas, who is 76 and was appointed by President George H.W. Bush in 1991, to resign in favor of younger candidates who could continue the court’s conservative stance for many years to come.
