The word on the street is that any nominee must be at least a black woman, gay or trans is a plus factor.

I think the reason that Thurgood Marshall retired when he did was that he thought President George H. W. Bush was unbeatable in 1992 after the Gulf War. That allowed Bush to nominate Clarence Thomas. If Marshall had stayed on the court until his death, Clinton would have picked his successor.

Biden did promise to appoint a black woman to the Supreme Court. Of course he lies about everything.

“Kamala Harris.”
That would clear the way for a lot of ‘party faithful’ to get the VP appointment.

The only thing “pragmatic” about him is the fact that whoever Brandon nominates will be far to the Left of even him.

NAILED it. Breyer's only present-day utility is as a fencepost marking the bounds of a quaint old leftism to the FAR LEFT of which Bidet will pick his replacement.

He is currently trying to declare everybody not a democrat, a domestic terrorist.

This is why the Left HAD to get Biden elected.
They knew this was coming.

It was well known Ginsberg didn’t like Obama.
She didn’t want a Communist Anti Semite to replace her.
She tried to hang on until Hillary was elected.

Kamala Harris? Kill two birds with one stone. The Dems can get a more attractive VP.

Not if the GOP doesn't support the replacement.

Well, let’s just see how long the GOP can stretch this out ... although they’ve likely already ceded the seat to high-ranking socialist of the “new” Democrat Party (or Politburo if you prefer.

They could use the Dem argument, let's wait until January and let the voters have input. No sense rushing this thru before an election.

Under the current leadership they won’t do a damn thing ... too much work, y’know.

“...Garland back in....” They are always fighting the pain of not having been handed complete control over every aspect of society, which they think they deserve. The commies never stop fighting “the revolution,” which therefore invariably turns into a civil war.

This administration, in particular, has been rehabilitating all the losers in their previous battles. Classic spoils system politics.

I saw the glee on the face of the newsreader babe. It must really be a difficult life - hanging on the every action of the White House, and letting one’s happiness depend on it.
