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.

At least he’s smart enough to know that Creepy Joe isn’t getting re-elected.

If the rumors are correct it won't be Harris. Look up Victoria Kolakowski.

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.

The idiot dullard said that his nominee will have to be a black woman. Well because choosing a judge is a woke racist thing!

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.
