WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has already narrowed the field for his first Supreme Court pick.
Biden said as a presidential candidate that if he were given the chance to nominate someone to the court, he would make history by choosing a Black woman. And word on Wednesday that Justice Stephen Breyer plans to retire should give Biden that opportunity.
“As president, I’d be honored, honored to appoint the first African American woman. Because it should look like the country. It’s long past time,” Biden said in February 2020 shortly before South Carolina’s presidential primary.
The White House has reiterated Biden’s campaign pledge since his election.
Almost all recent Supreme Court picks have been federal appeals judges. And since Biden took office in January 2021, he has worked to dramatically expand his options in that potential candidate pool by nominating five Black women who are currently sitting on federal appeals courts, with three more nominations pending before the Senate.

Yawn. Breyer was not a reliable Constitutional vote anyway.
The fake White House set will be the proper place to announce the pick..
And hildabeast slides in as vp? Setting her up to lose AGAIN in ‘24.
Swapping one commie for another.......
That would solve the “undesirable VP standing in the way of the 25th A” problem.
Like 50 years.
Nominate Winsome Sears!
Nominating the hildabeast would eliminate her as a Primary challenger.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Barry Obama, for the win.

But…getting a new VP might be an issue.
It will be a lunatic beloved by the Asspress.
It won’t look like the country. When they say that they mean get rid of the white men. As it is, is there anyone but Catholics and Jews on the Court?
That really is their best move at this point, Kamalalala is a disaster as a candidate.
They need somebody to take Senile Joe’s place.
Move her to the SC and get somebody else that isn’t less popular than Senile Joe.
Hillary is not black. Joe pledged that he would nominate a BLACK WOMAN.
And we can probably assume it will be an uber-liberal black woman. God help us.
So did Trump and he publicly said so!
Couldn’t be worse than the Wise Latina we have now.
I think the GOP should see that this is inevitable. As a result they should make sure the person is not a literal idiot…and pass them without any trouble. Just to show how obstructionist the Dems have been.
He would nominate a justice almost as old as him? Tm
