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.

And I hope every member of the Senate remembers how Joe Biden treated Clarence Thomas.

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.

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.

Can the Republicans flip a dem senator and hold it up?

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.

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.

Can Kamala as president if the senate vote on her own scotus confirmation in the Senate?

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.

Her, and Justice Thomas, would most certainly get along fabulously.

i wonder what pronoun IT will use.

You know they are just going nominate an uber-libtard that doesn't even look at the law - just the politics.

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!
