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."

"Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that's wrong."

“Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way.”
Wow - that’s beyond mental.
Soto has already said she isn’t going anywhere.
Oh just replace her with Harris ,LOL
Smh
Why? To punish Hispanics (not to mention the rest of us) for voting for Trump?
Biden should retire so Harris can be President for a bit.
Sotomayor should retire so Harris can get a Supreme Court seat.
They are really leaning into the “Didn’t earn it” thing these days.
Come February, none of them will even admit to knowing who Kamala Harris was.
Can the President nominate somebody during December, after certification?
Not a chance.
Also, for the heck of it, can the President nominate himself to be a Supreme Court judge?
Surely you jest.
Can you imagine that Socialist-Showboat-CLOWN in a black robe? I don’t want to either.
She will think the fact that she is an ‘Ex-VP’ and a (FAILED) presidential candidate, and because she counts Beyonce as one of her best friends, HER opinions will have more gravitas than senior Supreme Court judges. Wrong again!
(keep your friends close but your enemies closer)
The Wise Latina already said no.
More joy....I can’t take it!!
He’s an anti-Latinx racist.
They want to alienate Hispanic voters—clever!
They sure are desperate to put Harris in some position of power. Two possibilities:
(1) She or her handlers know a lot of nasty stuff and are leveraging it, or
(2) The handlers have a lot on her so they know she can be manipulated.
Possibly both.
Obviously, it would be in their best interest to replace her with a younger extreme lefty before President Trump takes office. She is a brittle diabetic who has been transported several times for blood sugar problems. But first, they have to convince her to give up her position by using what happened to former Justice Antonin Scalia as an incentive. I certainly would want not to be her life insurance company during the next couple of months.
Why? Cause she is Jamaican with a Vagina?
I don’t think so.
