Breyer’s retirement will clear the way for President Biden to nominated a new liberal, a crucial move considering Breyer’s age, 83, and the uncertainty around which party will control the White House after the 2024 election.
Breyer is one of just three liberal justices on the nine-person court, along with Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor. Former President Trump was able to nominate and confirm three new justices — Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett — in just four years in office, giving conservatives a 6-3 supermajority.
Wow. Three more years of an eight-seat court.
He should nominate Obama. GOP would flip out.
Great! Cause that’s all we need! Why is anyone letting Biden make any decisions!
Obama was supposed to pick one too . Wonder whatever happened to that.... 🙄
Hopefully the nominee doesn't get Sinemanchined
Shouldn't we really wait until 2025 for this?
The Republicans will demand they wait till the next election and will block it. It’s what they do.
Sure?
