SCOTUS News - Breyer To Retire Before Midterms
Now this is an interesting angle for things...
[Zero Hedge] - In a midday headline that rocked Washington, NBC News reports that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, one of the minority of liberal justices on the Court, is planning to retire before the midterms to give President Biden a chance to nominate and install a replacement.

Minutes ago, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted a statement that neither confirmed, nor denied, the NBC News report, but simply said that each justice must make their own decision about when to retire.

#1 This is the guy who in oral argument about the vax mandate said that 750 million Americans were infected in one day. He will be 83 later this year.

Appointed by Clinton

Obviously he wants to be part of the Abortion decision expected this summer so he'll retire after that I suppose.

Brandon will probably nominate a left-wing, dark-skinned wiseguy Latina, ideally from Florida, in order to snag a few Hispanic votes in November.
