Justice Sonia Sotomayor is the first Hispanic justice and at 70, is not the oldest member of the Supreme Court.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor reportedly has no plans to retire from the United States Supreme Court ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration. Sotomayor, who recently turned 70 years-old, has faced pressure from several liberal activists who say she ought to step down and allow Democrats to fill her seat with a younger successor before a second Trump administration takes control in January.

Watchers of the Supreme Court have a grim outlook on the right flank's ability to decide cases fairly and independently with a new Donald Trump administration coming in — particularly given that many suspect it played its own role in helping Trump win.
