Media analysts on CNN and MSNBC agreed Wednesday that liberal Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement would allow President Biden a chance to make history and appoint the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, and restore his embattled administration's tattered image.
Breyer, 83, is retiring, Fox News confirmed Wednesday. A source close to Breyer told Fox News that the justice will step down at the end of the current Supreme Court term early this summer.
Pundits largely agreed that while a new Biden appointee would not change the ideological makeup of the court, it could serve as a symbolic and historic moment for the president and a much-needed boost to Biden's image. The president has been overwhelmed by crises the past several months, including the fallout over the exit of U.S. troops from Afghanistan and dueling economic crises, all of which have led to his low poll numbers and a number of progressive media distancing themselves from the commander in chief.

Breyer has been silent on this. I’m hoping he is po’d enough to give them a one finger salute and wait it out for another year or three.
I have to go back to the apocryphal quote attributed to Obama about Biden’s seemingly limitless ability to mess things up.
Replacing a liberal with a liberal... What an awesome opportunity... Ruth (because she was so stubborn) gave Conservatives the best opportunity ever... Thank you RBGinsberg... You were soo awesome!
Even waiting one more year would put the GOPe in the potential driver seat stalling approval of the nomination. Might ensure a typical leftist scumbag instead of a complete nutcase.
A black woman with diabetes and 60+ might be minimal damage.
It’s not a jolt. It’s a continuation. I’d have loved a pickup but this is not a loss.
Too bad he didn’t do the Ginsburg ego trip and stay till a decent president and senate was in place.
WOW, some heavy duty thinking by two Fox reporters.
‘nough said.
I also salute Master Bader Ginsberg.
“make history and appoint the first Black woman to the Supreme Court”
It’s all about the racial and gender spoils systems with these idiots. Nothing about most qualified, fidelity to the constitution, original intent, etc. Just skin color and sexual plumbing.
Biden said he was going to heal the country.
He should appoint a very christian, very conservative, pro life black woman, like Candice Owens……
Roflol. He will probably appoint Putin……
The only jolt that could happen is if Biden nominated a conservative. Wouldn’t that be fun to watch?
Oh my lucky stars! A female negro who is an activist and doesn’t give a crap about law! Getting so sick of the skinny old white guy that doesn’t give a crap about law! And the dumbass wise latina that doesn’t give a crap about law! And the fat lesbian that doesn’t give a crap about law! Time for another tint! Watch Linda Graham, Mittens and the Turdle fold like a cheap deck chair on her nomination!
Round 2 for Merrick Garland !
Let’s see... Mike Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sheila Jackson Lee, Mad Maxine Waters, who else?
Biden always talks about his real or imagined accomplishments, he’s big on “I’m competent because I’ve done this, and I’ve done that, and I held that position”, etc.
Nominating the first black female to the SCOTUS? He’s not about to miss out on that, he’ll be in the his-story books!
So sad but you are so right.
OTOH, I think Breyer's decision is very revealing about where Democrat swamp dwellers think the next two elections are headed.
A diabetic judge is important. The other stuff is not important seeing how I don’t Qualify in any of those victim categories... Would be funny if they were so caught up in trying to fill theses false Qualifications for being a judge that they accidentally nominate a newly red pilled judge whom they thought was liberal but was instead slowly turning from being a classical liberal into a conservative.
