The Courts (not specific to either party)

This may be more click bait than reality but supposedly there are voices in the Dem party that think Sotomayor should resign so the Dems can quickly nominate a younger justice to the bench while they control the Senate.

The Democratic Party is secretly fighting over whether to try and force out Justice Sonia Sotomayor to avoid the specter of Donald Trump sending the U.S. Supreme Court further to the right.

Senators are reportedly at odds over whether to put pressure on Sotomayor—the first Latina justice—to step down while Democrats still have the power to usher in her replacement.

Although she is only 70, Sotomayor suffers from Type 1 diabetes and is the oldest of the three remaining Democratic Party-appointed justices.

There is no suggestion that she has any intention of walking off into the sunset of her own volition.

But party leaders are terrified of a repeat of the 2020 debacle when Ruth Bader Ginsburg died during the first Trump presidency after resisting overtures to step down when an Obama administration could offer a like-for-like ideological replacement. Instead, Trump’s choice of Seventh Circuit Judge Amy Coney Barrett sent the court lurching further to the right.

With just two months until the Democratic majority in the Senate gives way to the Republicans, it would be a tall order—and some say impossible—for Sotomayor’s successor to be nominated and confirmed.

They need to make this a felony. I don't care who does it, but it puts people's lives at risk, and it needs to stop. Both sides are guilty of doing it.

Yep exactly.  Though I would have to imagine calling in a bomb threat on someone may already be a felony so possibly no law change needed. 
 

oh and yeah both sides are doing it
