Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire at the end of the high court’s current term — setting the stage for President Biden to replace him with another liberal jurist, according to reports Wednesday.

Breyer, 83, is the oldest member of the Supreme Court and has been under increasing pressure from liberal Democrats to step down in recent months.
I heard the next nominee is a pedo.

Is it constitutional for a president to exclude candidates based on gender and race?
So the next guy can claim he wants a white male as long as he’s not Jewish and everyone would be fine with it.

In 2003, Joe Biden Filibustered and Voted Against Nomination of a Black Woman to the Federal Bench


In 2003, then-President George W. Bush nominated Janice Rogers Brown, an associate justice on the California Supreme Court to serve as a Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. She was the first black woman nominated for the federal bench.

But Rogers Brown had a problem; she was a libertarian-conservative and refused to play ball with civil rights organizations.

One of her major decisions was a dissent in the case of forcing cigarette manufacturers to put warning labels on packs and cartons. A truly libertarian decision. She also attacked the New Deal, which gave us Social Security and other programs as “the triumph of our socialist revolution.” You can imagine the anger of her liberal colleagues over that one.

But Joe Biden, champion of civil rights and the president who has gloried in naming the first minorities to several positions in his administration, filibustered against her nomination and voted twice against her. When Biden had the chance to vote for a black woman, he declined.

I don’t think Brandon was ever known for his principled consistency.
