If Biden were looking to replace Kamala Harris by nominating her to the Supreme Court, that would mean he’d have to hope for a vacancy before the 2022 midterms.
Even if that happens, the 50-50 split in the chamber means that he’d have to get at least one Republican to vote with all the Democrats, and that is assuming that she’d have the support of moderate Democrats like Manchin and Sinema.
As a hyperpartisan San Francisco liberal, it seems unlikely that either would risk voting for her confirmation to the Supreme Court over an actual jurist with experience on the bench.
A vacancy after the midterms would be even more problematic. The current political climate suggests that the 2022 midterms will be very good for the GOP.
Thus, should a Supreme Court vacancy occur after the 2022 midterms, Biden will likely face a GOP majority. Mitch McConnell has already promised to block Biden from filling a vacancy if the GOP wins the Senate. Still, even if he goes back on that, it seems unlikely that Kamala Harris would get Republican support, thus dooming her nomination.
Hillary says, yes!...............
Doesn’t matter. No sane Senate would approve Kamala Harris for the Supreme Court. I doubt even the current Senate would.
These are godless, anti-American communists parading as Democrats. Of course he would put Harris on the SCOTUS, and you can bet that Linda Grahnesty would vote YEA to seat her.
He could do this, because it would be seen as an appointment to a higher position. It would not be reported by the media as him dismissing or firing his vice president.
Um. Don’t you need a vacancy first?
I swear, why do these unsubstantiated speculations by clickbait sites get so much validation?
Biden isn’t looking to replace Harris. He probably thinks she’s Diana Ross or something.
But I’d imagine the Obama Cartel that runs the White House is looking to ditch Harris’ unpopular carcass because her numbers are so bad it’s costing them in downballot races.
It’s also an indicator that Biden is truly failing and the spectre of a Harris Presidency scares the crap out of the Obama Cartel.
And just which conservative justice would be invited to a hunting weekend in Texas this time?
Does the President have to get along with the Vice-President?
The main job of the Vice President is to attend funerals.
Between poopy-pants nose picking fraud pedojoe bidet and kamaltoeho, this is yet another extremely “loaded” statement.
Biden ain’t ain’t making the calls. The only decision he gets to make is what kind of pudding to have before nap time.
... and Nancy Pelosi for VP? Really?
Never underestimate the general stupidity of the Democrats.
A Cabbage Patch doll would understand the issues better.
Can’t believe Hillary hasn’t staked a claim to a seat on the
court yet.
I’m sure she thinks Chief Justice would be fitting.
it’s bold strategy cotton
Why would Kamala say yes when she is one heartbeat from the Presidency?
Kamala the Uganda wrestler would be a better SCOTUS pick.

Yeah, let’s put kamala in the same room with Sam Alito.
There’s a vacancy on the Supreme Court? After next year, The Republicans are likely to have a majority in the Senate. Maximum pressure needs to be brought to bear on them to not allow Brandon a single judicial appointment.
Third in line is the Speaker of the House. Little known fact is that the Speaker of the house does not have to be a member of Congress. Don’t know if these means anything, just adding to the discussion. Has anyone seen Hillary lately? /s
