On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) stated that during the 2020 Democratic primaries, he urged then-candidate Joe Biden to raise the issue of nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court because “he had lost three primary campaigns in New Hampshire, Iowa, and Nevada and everybody was saying that his campaign was over” and Clyburn thought “the South Carolina primary could be a turning point in the campaign and I thought that one way to do that was to address this issue, and he did and addressed it many, many times since.”

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was “surprised” his retirement was announced Wednesday, Fox News host Shannon Bream reported.
BREAKING: Looks Like Democrats Tried to Sabotage Justice Breyer
NBC News first reported the liberal justice’s retirement, giving President Biden his first opportunity to nominate a justice. Democrats were quick to demand the president nominate a black woman.
“Multiple sources tell me Justice Breyer was not planning to announce his retirement today,” Bream tweeted. “They describe him as ‘upset’ with how this has played out.”
The oldest Supreme Court justice has yet to make an official announcement. The White House, including Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), said they wouldn’t comment on it until an official statement.
Bream later added, “I’m told Justice Breyer had firmly decided on his own to retire and that an announcement was due very soon. And while it appears someone jumped the gun on that, better to characterize him as surprised by events today than ‘upset.’”
Liberal groups have been urging Breyer to retire ahead of the midterms while Democrats have control of the White House and Congress.
America 2022:
Everyone should be chosen for jobs based on their skin color. Hey, you either have the right skin color, or you don’t. And if you have the wrong skin color, you’re not going to make it to the top. Deal with it.
But when Russia and the US exchange nukes over Ukraine, it won’t matter. There will be no more Washington DC.
Yes. I'm sure he was quite "surprised" to find himself being used by the Biden Administration to provide a little distraction from their ever-ongoing ineptitude.
It would be quite interesting to hear the whole story here.
Yes, he did. Kamala Harris.
He gets elected with her, he gives her a SCOTUS seat, handlers replace her with whomever they really want as President, Joe leaves/collapses, “whomever” becomes POTUS.
Democrats thus instate a President without democracy.
BiXiden will only be allowed to nominate CCP approved commies.
“Liberal groups have been urging Breyer to retire ahead of the midterms”
Urging?
How about severely pressuring?
He did so because Obama told him it was part of the deal.
Wonder if this is how they ditch Harris
This is a new low for the Dems. They want Breyer to step down so they just announce his retirement. Unbelievable.
Aunt Jemima for Supreme Court
I have negro fatigue.
