https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...-retire-midterms-nbc In a midday headline that rocked Washington, NBC News reports that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, one of the minority of liberal justices on the Court, is planning to retire before the midterms to give President Biden a chance to nominate and install a replacement. Supreme Court justices are appointed for life, but a justice can decide to retire at any time. Some progressives had hoped to push Breyer toward retirement given his age. One group called "Demand Justice" even sent a billboard truck driving around the Supreme Court building in April with the message: "Breyer, retire. It's time for a Black woman Supreme Court justice," a reference to President Biden's vow to nominate a Black woman to the court. However, the campaign to push for Breyer's retirement never really gained momentum in the Senate, which is responsible for voting on judicial nominations. Only a handful of Democrats have suggested they would like to see Breyer, who was nominated to the court in 1994 by President Bill Clinton, retire of his own accord - at least this was the general attitude as recently as last fall, according to an NPR report. Perhaps the possibility that Breyer has changed his mind is a sign that the Democratic leadership is lowering its expectations ahead of November's midterms as President Biden's approval rating continues to sink. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

And I hope every member of the Senate remembers how Joe Biden treated Clarence Thomas. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

As much as I despised the notorious RBG, she did one thing right. She kicked the bucket during Trump’s first administration. The Left may never recover from that poke in the eye. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

They should do to the nominee what they did to Kavanaugh. Republicans need to muster some stones and attack; shock and awe. Time to stop being the good guy. Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows. Benjamin Franklin | |||

Wasn't Kameltoe demonstrated the folly of picking people based on race and gender rather than ability? Or maybe this will give Joe an opportunity to kill two birds with the same stone and nominate her. Calgary Shooting Centre | |||

To sane, thinking people she has. So has the "Wise Latina" on SCOTUS. The keys are "sane" and "thinking." Those are not attributes common to leftists or to most of today's Democrat Party.

That thought crossed my mind as well. The DNC gets rid of her by throwing her a bone. It's even more plausible if they have a front runner for the 2024 race to install as veep. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

The idea that there are conservative and liberal justices has always bothered me. Judges are supposed to be impartial, not partisans. Why would a judge care who's in power, and use that to determine their retirement date? To me that proves that they are unqualified for the position to begin with. If they are just going to be politicians, why are we appointing them for life? Make them campaign on their judginess and let us vote on them. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Yep, this retard learned absolutely nothing from the abject failure of his utterly worthless black, female, VP. Let's expand the monumental stupidity to the SCOTUS. God these people are stupid! ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman. Kurt Schlichter | |||
