Democratic Supreme Court Justice Breyer Plans To Retire Before 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.

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.

Even if he retires and is successfully replaced by Biden, Dems would simply be left with the same number of SCOTUS seats as they had before.

Now it's time for Dems to hypocritically argue that it's 100% OK to nominate and confirm a SCOTUS justice before an election that could result in a change of which party controls Congress.

The sky was falling when Trump selected justices. They seem to be following constitutional law. People over-reacted for what?

My hope is that whoever the idiot's handlers select (you know he ain't selecting anyone... he can't choose his own underwear) they are judges first, and follow the law as the constitution intended it.

There are two theories of Constitutional interpretation. One is to apply the Constitution on its face (textualism). The other is that the Constitution is "a living, breathing" road map that should be applied based on the basis on modern/current socity's needs. Two very different things, neither of which is wrong or right.

He won't pick a conservative textualist and we all know that. As long as I believe whoever he picks has the requisite skills, I don't care who it is because it just won't mater for like 20 years. The fact that it bothers you that it will be a qualified black woman says a lot about you.

You are correct that it won't make much difference for 20 years or so. The immediate effects depending on how far left the candidate is might be felt by democrats that hold office in red states.

Biden is obviously a racist and a sexist if he is going to make his choice based on skin color and gender. That's clearly a case of discrimination against White and Asian men and woman candidates. If yer OK with that, that says a lot about you.

Of course, he won't pick a textualist or God forbid, an originalist. Progressive don't care what those words mean in the Constitution unless they can twist them around and pervert their meaning to support their agenda. I'm sure that's the only required skill that the lizard people consider important.

He made a campaign promise. He won the election. He is following the will of the people. I assume he will pick a liberal judge who makes RBG look conservative. It really is a moot point as SCOTUS will be conservative for the foreseeable future.

Agreed.

America has forgotten “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” –Martin Luther King, Jr.

Picking a SCOTUS based on sex and color??? This is racism through and through. Then again we're referring to the DNC and what they stand for. So much for a qualified bench.

Just gonna throw this out for your reading pleasure.

Robert is being a judge or a legal scholar a requirement constitutionally (either textually or living breathing pretend world) ?

And she’s a democrat sure sure as hell can vote for herself even when she’s dead.

over two centuries of only white men.
No one else is qualified.
No one of the opposite sex.
No one of any other race.
No other fine Americans except white men.

if we were a real color blind society it wouldn't be possible for two and a half centuries to go this way.
Obviously we have not been choosing only qualified people but we have been choosing only the qualified white old men.

How is this possible in a color blind society? At some point people have to believe it is possible.

What are you whining about? You act like there have only been WASPS.
There's been 8 Jews on the SCOTUS.
Including Breyer and Kagan and the late RBG.

Thurgood Marshall was the first black American Supreme Court Justice
And then there's Clarence Thomas whose there now, you know the guy that the racist Biden tried to beat up like Corn Pop during the confirmation hearings.

He will replace Breyer with another Breyer.

But he will make sure the replacement is a black woman so he can point and say, "See? I'm not a racist!"

But then again...Reagan made a campaign promise in 1980 to 'appoint the first woman to the SCOTUS'.

SCOTUS appointments are ALWAYS political. ALWAYS. It's one of the few things that you can absolutely count on from both parties.

I think one of the three potential candidates being spoken about in the press (the one who sits on the 1st District?) clerked for Breyer. I just cannot believe he wouldn't somehow make his opinion about her known to Biden.

You stop your whining too. I was just pointing out that not all Supreme Court Justices have been WASP crackers.
6 of the 9 Supreme Court Justices are Catholics, including Sotomayor, the first Hispanic U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
Who the frank cares anyway what race, ethnicity, or religion any of them are except people like Biden who feels the need to apply Affirmative Action when choosing a new nominee for judge? Like Com'on MAN, virtue-signaling rules, my choice has to be woke historic like that clean black guy I ran with back in the day.

I care that there is some intentional diversification of the court whether by race, gender, religion, ethnicity, etc., etc. If that is virtue-signaling, then I will wear it proudly. And, I will feel real good/proud about our country putting a competent black woman on SCOTUS. Lot's of different perspectives is a good thing there.

Guy with horse icon, yes, in my opinion it's racist. It was racist when he said his intentions before picking Kamala...

Braindead idiot is trying it again, thinking he won on that. He only won because he's not Trump.

Racism is racism.
