BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer Announces Retirement
[PJMedia] Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring at 83 years old.

Breyer is expected to leave his position in October, which is when the current term ends, according to NBC News.

He is a liberal justice, which means that President Joe Biden’s first appointment will likely be someone with a similar progressive legal ideology.

According to NBC News, U.S. circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger would be in the running.

[NPR] Supreme Court Justice Breyer announces his retirement, so in case the Senate flips this fall his liberal replacement can get confirmed.

#3 The ZH article I posted helpfully reminds us that Biden vowed to replace Breyer with a black woman.

Here comes Planet Abrams!

#4 The sudden lov for the Cackle-Jackal is worrying. She steps aside for a lifetime of figurehead noisemaking and a backdoor deal on the Pelosi hedge fund plan, and voila, Big Mike could make the stage, offering the old Clintonian meme of the twofer, you get the glamour Wookie and Barak as a co-host.

Warning! Warning! Incoming gravitational anomaly.

Hey, could this be the play that moves Kamala out of the line of succession? Once she is gone, the stage is set for Biden to resign for "health reasons".

#6 SteveS that seems plausible but a new VP would have to be chosen and I don't know that Kalamadingdong could get 51 votes.

#10 Totally predictable as Biden will not be re-elected and the GOP will dominate both houses after the mid-terms.

Are there any other old liberal judges that won't be able to survive 3 terms of GOP Presidency (based on Carters foul precedent)

#11 Has to be a mulatta? OK, place yer bets. Candidates:
1. Oprah
2. Big Mike
3. Marilyn Mosby
4. Simone Biles
5. Meghan Sussex
6. RuPaul
... or [drum roll]

...Kackala, who is replaced by Hillary who then replaces Brandon after he resigns in August of this year

#13 So, which is it? I thought Bath House hated Swillary. So, either the "Kalorama Kompound" runs Washington or (much more likely) it doesn't.

#20 The original #5, Ichnusa has been evaporated. He’s been spouting similar vicious nonsense under a variety of nyms and anonymizers for some time. I have no idea what he gets out of it, but we seem to be an unhealthy addiction for him.
