Sotomayor hasn't responded publicly to the chatter about a retirement, and she did not return a request for comment.
At 70 , she is not the oldest member of the Supreme Court ; she is newly into her tenure as the senior-most member of its liberal wing.
The circumstances of more than a decade ago are different from today , making it far from a sure thing that the Senate would confirm her replacement.
There will be another 20 vacancies in the coming weeks , and 11 nominees are pending for those seats.
"Hand wringing about the unknown doesn't help anyone right now," says Demand Justice director Maggie Jo Buchanan .
