Jen Psaki Just Took Rumors About Kamala Harris Becoming a Supreme Court Justice to the Next Level
Becker News ^ | 01/26/22 | Kyle Becker

Posted on 01/26/2022 12:28:04 PM PST by Enlightened1

White House Press Secretary wouldn’t directly confirm that Biden was selecting Vice President Kamala Harris to fill the Supreme Court vacancy soon-to-be-left by retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.

But what Psaki did is narrow down the field to one that would include Kamala Harris. Watch:

“When you were asked about the Vice President, possibly being selected as a Supreme Court nominee, you say you’re not going to speak to any considerations. Does that means she is being considered?” Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked.

Psaki declined to address the question, because she said the retirement “hasn’t been announced.”

She did, however, confirm that he would nominate a “black woman” to the Supreme Court.

“Jen Psaki just reaffirmed that the President will only consider a black woman for the next nomination — a threshold gender and race condition that the Court itself has found unconstitutional for schools and unlawful for private businesses,” Constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley noted.

Adding fuel to the fire, Shannon Bream remarks that Breyer hasn’t even confirmed his retirement yet.

“Multiple sources tell me Justice Breyer was not planning to announce his retirement today,” Bream noted. “They describe him as ‘upset’ with how this has played out. We still await any official notice from his office and/or the #SCOTUS public information office.”

There is some high-level political chess being played, and it may be the case that Breyer is being pushed to retire, presumably so the White House can offload the disgruntled Kamala Harris and replace her with a political operator such as Hillary Clinton.

The New York Times initially reported the news, which does not make it a lock; but when it comes to progressive affairs, the grey lady is typically right.

While Biden is certain to pick a left-wing nominee for the forthcoming vacancy, Byron York earlier noted it is likely to be a black woman:

York noted that Biden said he looked forward to “making sure there’s a black woman on the Supreme Court” in 2020.

 

The rumor isn’t new that Biden might tap Kamala Harris for the nation’s highest court. In November, we reported that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden may be heading towards a bad breakup. The White House power couple had been locked in a bitter feud going back to the 2020 campaign. There were credible reports of behind-the-scenes maneuvering to ‘get Kamala out’ of the vice presidential role.

Chad Pergram, who is an avid buff of Congressional process and mechanics, disclosed that he received a message from a well-informed insider that told him he should familiarize himself on the process to confirm a “vacancy for the Vice President in the Senate and in the House.”

The mainstream media reacted to the report as Fox News ginning up ‘speculation’ over Kamala Harris’s future. But such reports did not originate with Fox News. After CNN’s admission of the Biden-Harris rift, the Daily Mail reported there was talk of the White House seeking a Supreme Court seat for Harris to get her out of their hair.

“Harris’ approval rating has plunged even further than Biden’s in recent months, with rumors swirling that the president is considering appointing her to the Supreme Court as a backdoor method of selecting a new VP,” the Daily Mail reported.

Kamala Harris’s approval ratings have collapsed to roughly the same abysmal point as Biden’s (CBS/YouGov had them each at a 44 percent approval rating, while 56 percent of respondents disapproved). Her prospects of becoming president have faded fast. The Supreme Court could be her way out… setting the stage for Hillary Clinton.

Harris would first need to be confirmed as Supreme Court Justice, prompting her resignation .Next, Hillary Clinton would need to be nominated for vice president and confirmed by both houses of Congress.

The 25th Amendment to the Constitution, which was passed in 1967. Section 2 states:

“Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”

It would be a highly contentious battle to get Hillary Clinton through the gates and into the White House once again. If the Democrats have any intention of doing so, time is short. Stranger things have happened.

I was just thinking the same thing- singularly unqualified is how I characterize harris for this role.

That appears to be Brandon's gold standard for nominees.

He wouldn’t “replace” her, he’s not in the line of succession, he’d have to be elected.

Ah, you know how these bast@rds work. I can’t wait to hear all about Heels Up’s partying and whoring around during her confirmation hearings. Surely our Republican heroes will Bork her, everyone else has (rimshot, please).

It will take 60 senators to appoint a new VP from what I’ve heard and that may be held up for a long, long time.

And in 9 months McCarthy would be next in line if something happened to Gramps. So 0% and I mean 0% chance Kamala gets it.

In some cases, that makes sense, but not this one. He doesn’t have to do that.

So this is how they get Biden’s replacement in place.
Can’t wait to see who it is.
And I can’t wait to see Harris’ being vetted for the Supreme Court!

The consequences of stolen elections just keep coming.

Those RINO-controlled state legislatures patted themselves on the back because they allowed the Rats to steal it with the cheat-by-mail-in ballots in order to get rid of Trump. In GA the legislature could not conduct any kind of a rigorous audit into the two Senate races regarding the dropbox videos because it would have exposed the same kind of fraud used against Trump. So they let the Senate go blue to get rid of Trump. Now, we've lost a chance of replacing another liberal on SCOTUS.

If these RINO-traitors survive their respective primaries this year after everything we saw and heard them do in 2020, then we are truly doomed.

When Trump is again President from 2024-2028 and Hillary falls ill and cannot serve, Trump gets to nominate her replacement.

let me put it another way- look at the existing justices. All of them were judges of some form before they were nominated to the Supreme Court. They’ve all had years of deciding cases behind them and a lot of experience, even the dipshits like sotomayer and kagan. Harris wasn’t even a good lawyer. She got where she is because she slept with her boss.

It’s their best move.
Kamalalala is not up to being VP, much less President, besides being ineligible.

All that needs to be brought forward is Harriss history of civil rights abuses as Attorney General in California and her nomination gets scuttled by her own party.

I hope he has a snit and decides to remain in his seat all grumpy for a few more years.

Will Steny Hoyer, House Majority leader, become the next President Gerald Ford? Inquiring minds want to know.

Just another guess.

NATO tells Biden his “Wag the Dog” plan is DOA.

So now the DNC gets SCJ Breyer, against his will, to nominate Harris, and to get her out of the VP slot in an attempt to save D-party from a mid-term wipeout.

Would not be surprise if we see a a “False Flag” before the midterms to help the Dems.

The problem is that the moment there is a vacancy in the Vice-Presidency, the Senate is at 50-50 with no tiebreaker. That means GOP support would be needed to confirm a new Vice President.
