Why not retire at retirement age? I am sure there would be a younger democrat that would have been elected to do the job.

Seems like people get power and they don't want to give it up.

Oh and fix our social security system AND put the age back to 65.

The problem is that Republicans have said they will not allow another Democrat to take her seat on the committee, meaning we have to wait until Jan 2025 to redo the committees. With her absent, the Committe doesn’t have enough votes to pass anything above Republican opposition, and they have made it clear they will obstruct and block ALL judges appointed by Biden. Replacing her will mean a political shutdown for the next 16 months because the GOP is playing this game.
This is the answer that most people either aren’t aware of or don’t want to acknowledge. It’s really shitty, but that’s what it is.
