I suspect Ketanji will be a test.

How many alleged women does this put on the SC at once?

Wow.

Unfortunately, most of them horrid stupid liberals.

It is only bad if a conservative judge leaves.

Does this “resolve” the leak issue? Was he so ticked off that others announced his retirtement before he was ready that he staged the leak regarding RvW to become the skunk at the garden party?

The Left side of the SCOTUS is simply no match for the Right side, intellectually. Losing Breyer and RBG hurts. Kagan and the Wise Latina are lightweights about to be joined by another lightweight. Roberts is now the de facto leader of the Left side of things. Thomas and Alito are so far ahead of the other 7 that it’s almost funny.

“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (Racist Commie, LooneyTunesville) was nominated by Biden and confirmed by the U.S. Senate earlier this year to replace Breyer. She will begin hearing cases once the next term begins in October.”

Going from bad to awful.

The most evil USSC justice ever to step in.

And I hope that Justice Thomas sleeps without a pillow.

Does history show any persons who started their SC judge tenure as liberals but later evolved into conservative constructionist judges?

"...Accordingly, my retirement from active service under the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 371(b) will be effective on Thursday, June 30, 2022, at noon,” Breyer wrote.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/28/371

28 U.S.C. § 371(b):

(1)Any justice or judge of the United States appointed to hold office during good behavior may retain the office but retire from regular active service after attaining the age and meeting the service requirements, whether continuous or otherwise, of subsection (c) of this section and shall, during the remainder of his or her lifetime, continue to receive the salary of the office if he or she meets the requirements of subsection (e).

...

(e)

(1)In order to continue receiving the salary of the office under subsection (b), a justice must be certified in each calendar year by the Chief Justice, and a judge must be certified by the chief judge of the circuit in which the judge sits, as having met the requirements set forth in at least one of the following subparagraphs:

(A)The justice or judge must have carried in the preceding calendar year a caseload involving courtroom participation which is equal to or greater than the amount of work involving courtroom participation which an average judge in active service would perform in three months. In the instance of a justice or judge who has sat on both district courts and courts of appeals, the caseload of appellate work and trial work shall be determined separately and the results of those determinations added together for purposes of this paragraph.

(B)The justice or judge performed in the preceding calendar year substantial judicial duties not involving courtroom participation under subparagraph (A), including settlement efforts, motion decisions, writing opinions in cases that have not been orally argued, and administrative duties for the court to which the justice or judge is assigned. Any certification under this subparagraph shall include a statement describing in detail the nature and amount of work and certifying that the work done is equal to or greater than the work described in this subparagraph which an average judge in active service would perform in three months.

(C)The justice or judge has, in the preceding calendar year, performed work described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) in an amount which, when calculated in accordance with such subparagraphs, in the aggregate equals at least 3 months work.

(D)The justice or judge has, in the preceding calendar year, performed substantial administrative duties directly related to the operation of the courts, or has performed substantial duties for a Federal or State governmental entity. A certification under this subparagraph shall specify that the work done is equal to the full-time work of an employee of the judicial branch. In any year in which a justice or judge performs work described under this subparagraph for less than the full year, one-half of such work may be aggregated with work described under subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of this paragraph for the purpose of the justice or judge satisfying the requirements of such subparagraph.

(E)The justice or judge was unable in the preceding calendar year to perform judicial or administrative work to the extent required by any of subparagraphs (A) through (D) because of a temporary or permanent disability. A certification under this subparagraph shall be made to a justice who certifies in writing his or her disability to the Chief Justice, and to a judge who certifies in writing his or her disability to the chief judge of the circuit in which the judge sits. A justice or judge who is certified under this subparagraph as having a permanent disability shall be deemed to have met the requirements of this subsection for each calendar year thereafter.

So Justice Breyer isn't fully retiring, but is assuming Senior Status, and will continue to work part time.

I choose to be cautiously optimistic. Sometimes justices surprise those who appointed them. I listened to Ketanji Brown Jackson’s hearings and she didn’t seem as stupid as some of the others on the court now actually (granted, I didn’t read her decisions).

In fact I will go out on a limb here and state that just because a man looks at teen porn once shouldn’t mean they should go to prison for 10 years. I think as a sister to 3 brothers, a mother of 3 sons, and as a wife—I know men can do stupid things and I agree with Jackson that some of these child porn sentences are a little harsh.
