Justice Sonia Sotomayor should be replaced by Kamala Harris, CNN commentator argues
Fox News via MSN ^ | November 11, 2024 | Lindsay Kornick

CNN’s Bakari Sellers floated the idea of President Biden replacing Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor with Vice President Kamala Harris before President-elect Donald Trump can be sworn into office.

"CNN News Central" host John Berman asked Sellers about concerns among Democrats regarding Trump and the Republican majority in the Senate potentially replacing Sotomayor, the third-oldest member of the Supreme Court.

Sellers argued Sotomayor should step down so Biden and the current Democratic majority can replace her in the months before Trump’s inauguration to ensure another liberal justice on the court.

"You know, Justice Sotomayor has been a more than able justice. I know that she may be having some personal issues that she contends with while serving on the bench. But, you know, I don’t want Justice Sotomayor to be another Ruth Bader Ginsburg in terms of staying too long," Sellers said. "And so I hope that Joe Biden makes the next ten weeks as consequential as he can. I don’t care about drawing outside the lines or what Republicans may think about it. This is within your purview. You can actually do it and you should do it. And you know, one more thing, John, is you have a hell of a vice president right there who has a legal pedigree to sit on the Supreme Court. And let Republicans go crazy, ape, I’m even mentioning that option."

How do you solve a problem like Kamala?
How do you catch a word salad and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Kamala?
A flibbertigibbet! A will-o’-the wisp! A clown!

Many a thing you know you’d like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand
But how do you make her pay
For the billion she threw away
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?

Oh, how do you solve a problem like Kamala?
How do you hold a moonbat in your hand?

“”You know, Justice Sotomayor has been a more than able justice.”

A Supreme Court justice is a demanding position requiring brains. How would someone who was pushing someone as mentally deficient as Kamala Harris to become President even know what a Supreme Court justice is supposed to do?

Kamala is completely unqualified to be a Supreme Court justice.

My guess is Obama is floating this because he needs a job and doesn’t want to move out of DC.

I remember when SCJ at least used to have a vaneer of being competent judges...

But how bad would it be for Sotomayor to step down and then Harris just gets absolutely destroyed during any confimation hearings..

leaving an open slot on the bench when Trump takes office?

Kamala should take over Bakari Sellers’ job. Kamala is probably smarter than someone who suggests Kamala should be on the Supreme Court,

> Can the President nominate somebody during December, after certification?

Yep. While he’s president, Biden can do it any time he wants.

Ah, but getting the nominee confirmed is another process. That usually takes a month or more. And if the GOP senators want to drag their feet…

They seriously have no place to go. The girls went as far as possible from them, other than Indonesia where could they go.

A person like CNN’s Bakari Sellers, who argues that Justice Sonia Sotomayor should be replaced by Kamala Harris, exhibits an IQ value that is represented by an imaginary number.

The democrats and lamestream media pundits have been backpedaling on the “ Biden rule” since Trump’s first term, a “rule” that was used against George Bush to prevent a President from nominating a USSC justice in a Pres election year.
This Senate “ rule” stopped the obama nomination of Merrick Garland from being considered……as cited by McConnelll….prob because the democrats expected Hillary to win ( boy did we dodge 2 bullets there)

I just don’t see the GOP or even McConnell in his final dotage…from folding to Biden or Schumer to “advise and consent” on giving Kamala Harris a rushed USSC seat as a consolation prize

But watch for treachery from the uniparty establishment as the GOP holds a “ secret” vote for the new Senate Majority leader this Wed
