    The retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer paves the way for President Biden to appoint a new Supreme Court justice. His pick must be confirmed by the Senate.

    While the White House has not released any statements on Biden's next steps, the President said in past comments that he would nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court.

    Here's a look at his comments:

    February 25, 2020: “We talked about the Supreme Court — I’m looking forward to making sure there’s a Black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we, in fact, get everyone represented.”

    March 15, 2020: “Number one I committed that if I’m elected as president and have the opportunity to appoint someone to the courts, I’ll appoint the first Black woman to the court. It’s required that they have representation now — it’s long overdue,”

    June 30, 2020: “We are putting together a list of African American women who are qualified and have the experience to be on the court. I am not going to release that until we go further down the line in vetting them as well.”.......

    Moscow Mitch created filibuster exception for Supreme Court justices. That's how they got rapist and coat hanger. Will rule apply when a Democrat is president?

    I thought The Turtle made it clear a few months back that Biden would never seat a Supreme Court Justice if The Turtle has his way…..regardless of how many years might be left in the Biden term. And if he follows through, that just might be the spark that sets this country completely on fire…….McConnell wants an unsustainable republic versus a sustainable democracy. That’s the only way the minority can keep hijacking America from the majority.

    Just wait till the Republicans eliminate the filibuster and pack the courts to a super majority, just because they can. Making the Democrats look like ineffective chumps. It will be game over at that point and most of the 1/6 committee will be looking at jail time.

    Kamala Harris perhaps?

    It'd be a good way for the Dems to get rid of her off the 2024 ticket, since she polls extremely low.

    Does Breyer lean conservative liberal or down the middle?

    Tuckums Carlson spent a quarter of his show ranting that a Black woman doesn't look like America.

    Ronald Reagan announced that he would choose a Black man before making his selection over four decades ago. Reagan can do it but Biden can't. Both Presidents Bush appointed Black men to the Supreme court.
