BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer Retiring

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire — once a replacement has been confirmed — after serving for nearly three decades on America's highest court, according to reporting confirmed by NBC News on Wednesday.



The retirement of Breyer — who at 83 is the Supreme Court's oldest justice — will allow President Biden to nominate a replacement, giving liberals a chance to lock in a reliably liberal justice for decades to come.  

President Biden has previously promised that, if given the chance, his first nominee to the Supreme Court would be a black woman. Potential nominees who fit the bill, according to NBC, include "federal Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, former Breyer law clerk, and Leondra Kruger, a justice on California’s Supreme Court."



The news sets up what could be a bitter confirmation fight just before the midterm elections in which Democrats are expected to suffer significant losses in Congress. With a currently razor-thin majority in the U.S. Senate, every Democrat will likely need to be onboard with whomever President Biden nominates.

But a Democratic caucus that hasn't been entirely unified in Biden's first year in office means that Senators such as Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) could pose an obstacle to a more-radical nominee. When it comes to many Republicans, the confirmations of Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett are still raw wounds — meaning there might not be much effort among the GOP caucus to help Biden fill the vacancy.

With an apparent need to get a new liberal justice confirmed before any Democrat losses, Press Secretary Jen Psaki took to Twitter to dispel any notions that Biden may have pushed for Breyer's retirement before the midterms and say that the White House has "no additional details or information to share."

Now's the perfect time to check out Biden's cognitive state . Ted Cruz should put on a wig and blackface and meet the old fool  on the beach in Rehobeth and see if he can convince Joey that he's Harris and this is his chance of getting rid of her by appointing him/her to the job .

or Robert Kennedy could tie goat skin to his forearms and convince joe  hes entitled to the inheritance. theres a problem with your thesis DB. joe aint running the shitshow and that closely gaurded secret is what got 280 people killed by the clintons.

Psaki: " Nope, we and nobody we know most definitely did not influence Breyer's decision here."
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh...

Gotta love this line:

The news sets up what could be a bitter confirmation fight...

Ha! Since when have Republicans ever put up a "bitter confirmation fight?"

Biden Has Chance To Put First Black Woman On Supreme Court With Justice Stephen Breyer's Retirement

Breyer isn't retiring so much as he is being hounded and threatened out of office.

I've plain given up on giving a darn anymore. For 20 years or better, it's angered me no end that ANY justice was referred to as "Liberal," "Democrat[ic]," "Republican," or, "Conservative."

NO! And a thousand times MORE, NO! That not need be the question asked, nor the observation made. What needs be known, as is the true patriot Justice Clarence Thomas, is IS HE A CONSTITUTIONALIST??!!
