Reports: Justice Breyer To Retire | Talking Points Memo

I suggest that C Thomas get comped for a week at that resort where Scalia took his last nap.

I don’t think it was the pressure from Dems that finally got Breyer to retire. I think it was seeing how far right the court has become and how willing they are to overturn past precedents and how they were doing everything to hamper Biden trying to enforce stronger COVID-19 protocols.

where the conservative majority sanctioned the use of questionable legal injection drugs.

Republican judges are experts in medicine and child rearing. That’s why they don’t allow other children to wear masks.

I think it is extremely likely that they will raise a stink because the current term ends so close to the Mid-Term elections and the GOP is hoping to retake Congress. Good luck rushing an appointment through, Chuck Shumer. :frowning:

How will Mitch prevent a Biden nomination from taking the seat? It’s a new challenge.

I would like to comment on how refreshing it has been for Biden to NOT be jabbering about his list of judges.

TFG’s dangling of conservative names got on my last nerve.

Personally, I was hoping for Justice Obama (Barack or Michelle) but I will accept a woman of color serving with distinction as well. :grinning:

Correct, Sinema has voted with Biden every time except when her vote mattered.

You just know Clarence Thomas is probably itching to retire but his wife will never let him. I believe we’ll see a Weekend at Bernie’s play out when he passes.

Not that anyone would notice a difference.

This should engender some enthusiasm for November. Hope two specific people are onboard.

I’m sure Mitch would be more than happy to gum things up and have the new term start with a 6-2 majority.
