Maybe if they appoint another nitwit nutjob, it’ll scare the shit out of Roberts and Kavanaugh to sit up and fly right, but I tend to think they have photos on Roberts (ala Epstein).

Then again, probably not.

As Expected, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer Will Step Down, Biden Will Likely Nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson

Multiple media reports now affirming that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire at the end of the current court term [ABC Report – NBC Report] setting up the final step to elevate DC appeals court Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

This is exactly what was planned from the appointment of Merrick Garland to U.S. Attorney General. [GO DEEP] As CTH outlined in March 2021, the series of moves was/is predictable. The Obama crew behind Biden have been following a predictable roadmap. Four sequential steps.

In March 2021 Merrick Garland was appointed Attorney General to open his seat in the DC appeals court for Kentanji Brown-Jackson. KBJ’s appointment to that specific court needed senate confirmation. In June 2021 KBJ was confirmed [GO DEEP] with a vote of 53-47. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Lindsey Graham voted with Democrats to support KBJ to the circuit court. Now Breyer steps down and KBJ is nominated to replace him.

“U.S. Appeals Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, a former Breyer clerk, public defender and Biden appointee who won three Senate Republican votes in confirmation, is considered a top contender for nomination” ~ABC



As we predicted in March 2021, “this is how they roll” … With Obama’s crew you always have to watch the other hand; the third and fourth moves.

MARCH 2021 – Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court. Garland’s replacement will be a senate confirmed seat for that court.

Once that replacement is senate confirmed, we anticipate (almost to a certainty) that replacement will be quickly elevated to a Supreme Court nomination to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, now 82-years-old. The senate will have no political ammunition to block or not confirm the radical SCOTUS pick because she will have been confirmed a few months before. It’s a smart play.

Garland himself is too old (69) and too centrist for the interests of the JoeBama ideology; but watch for JoeBama-Biden to move activist DC District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (50), twenty years Garland’s junior, into the DC Circuit Appeals Court role.

Despite her known activist ideology, Judge Kentanji Brown-Jackson will likely achieve senate confirmation without issue for the circuit court role. Soon thereafter Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer announces his departure, and Judge Brown-Jackson is quickly nominated as Bryer’s replacement.

Having passed senate confirmation recently, activist Judge Kentaji Brown Jackson -a black female who checks all the boxes- is then positioned to avoid senate challenge and will move swiftly through the SCOTUS confirmation process.

It is a typically Obama-esque play. As a standalone nomination for SCOTUS she would be a radical pick; Justice Brown-Jackson is a known activist in the DC District Court; however, with this maneuver she could get through nomination easier and then sit on the highest court for thirty years.

Additionally, Obama’s former White House Homeland Security Advisor, Lisa Monaco, will be Deputy Attorney General supporting Garland. Monaco then becomes the insurance policy to keep an eye-out for the ideological needs of the JoeBama administration and assist with the smart political targeting that will come from the DOJ, FBI and the IRS.

Justice picks are supposed to be Non-Political picks. Interpret the law , the end. Now days they are only Political. The Dems will come with the worst possible pick in order to get even for recent picks.

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.


Conservative justices follow the Constitution for the most part.

Liberal justices legislate from the bench.

Meh, replacing one lib with another is no huge loss. I don't like it anymore than the rest of you guys, but it's not like we were ever gonna get eight more Clarence Thomases.

The best we can hope for is that Sens. Kennedy and Cruz just flay her in the confirmation hearings.

The Obama loyalists could push for him to be nominated.

Why in the world would he want that job? It's a pretty big pay cut. But gawd, would I love to watch Cruz and Kennedy expose him for the mental midget he is wrt Const. law.

Current rumor is that Stephen Breyer was not planning on announcing his retirement today.

That it was forced out by the Biden administration prematurely- and that he is apparently quite upset. This is being reported by Shannon Bream on Fox News right now.

Kommiehoe probably wouldn’t want it, knowing that Fingerin’ Joe likely won’t make it this whole term.

Any judge that interprets the constitution from the written words are called "conservative". Dems do the same thing theirs are activist judges.

My guess is they do Garland again to poke Republicans that they finally finished the job. Harris would be scary as a judge, I can see her dissenting opinion now. Hehehehe you know hahahaha.

They will also use the same tactics that the Republicans did under Trump and ram through whoever they desire without contest.

Nope, you're wrong.

Any judge that reads the Constitution as written and uses that as his guideline is Conservative.

Any judge that "interprets" the Constitution is liberal. Why? Because there is no need or reason to "interpret" english to english. You only interpret when going from one language to another.

I've also heard this progressive "interpretation" called reading between the lines, which means a progressive reads something and then tells you what the author really meant, as opposed to what was written. I've only seen this in progressives, not conservatives.

There is much more to all this than meets the eye.

There are, so far, 29 Dem incumbents in the House not filing to run for their seats again. That is a much bigger danger to the Dems and with voter anger runnning 60/40 against the incumbent party there is the House to lose. Playing games with SCOTUS would only backfire in the votes - if they were tallied accurately.

With two states examining their voting accuracy it's not impossible one could Decert before the mid terms throwing it all into a basket. Wisconsin already went legal with their process.

Make no mistake, Joe's selection is likely to be the most misguided, maligned and unqualified person ever nominated to the SCOTUS.

Where's that vote for a Scotus now?

She is already on record for saying that she does not seek a SCOTUS position, but thinks that she is more influential in her current role.

Unless Biden appoints a real Progressive nut-job, whomever he appoints will be confirmed, and probably with some GOP support. (After all, with only a majority required for confirmation, it changes nothing to go along.) Both Manchin and Sinema are likely to vote to confirm, unless (again) a truly unqualified person is nominated.

I am not a fan of Justice Breyer, and his views of the Constitution don't agree with mine, but he has always been a person who took his job seriously. I think it was unwise, rude, and distasteful that he was not given the normal right to announce his resignation when and how he wished.

Is anyone else bothered that the left doesn't see people for who they are, just their color and sex. Now starts the crusade to appoint a black female jurist. No concern for anything else, just has to have dark skin and a vigana. Work experience, who cares? Track history, who cares? Case history, who cares? Just got to focus on reproductive organs and melanin, nothing else matters.

The only people in contention for caring about skin color as much as Democrats are white supremacists.

As I heard it was the black cue ball Pressley that is demanding a black female only to be nominated.

Regarding Biden's promise to nominate a Black female, Martha MacCallum today opined that it is an injustice to whomever is nominated that such a promise had been made--assuming a Black female Justice is nominated and confirmed, the idea that her color and sex were the primary criteria, not her qualifications, will exist forever. I believe Martha is right.
