You are not suggesting that they have a ‘litmus’ test, are you?

So, Breyer believes the Senate will flip.

Yea so the Dems are pretty sure they are going to lose the senate. Biden did promise to put a woman of color on the court, so I expect they will stay with that. Do they take an easy out, or try to strategically get Biden to nominate Harris, replace her with Hillary/Buttagieg, and then he retires next year? Oh what fun this is going to be.

The ultra-Stalinazi base demands a non-White, non-male, ultra-Woke “female” (preferably Black, preferably lesbo) who uses the Constitution to smoke blunts with.

If the GOP had any courage, they would filibuster any nominee for the next 3 years.

Maxine Waters would fit Biteme’s “qualifications.

Female (high probability)
Black
Low IQ
No real world experience
Militant

And steals other people’s wigs.

Damn, that description could fit Kamala

5.56mm

To get to the level to be considered a SCOUTUS prince/ess, there are certain hoops you have to jump through.

That weeds out most conservatives.

Thanks. I thought he had made some sort of pledge to name a black female...

That list was scary, for sure.

I think it will be the black woman who’s on the CA State Supreme Court.

This is very telling to me. If they had confidence they could keep the Senate in the midterms, I don’t think he would be retiring. I think they may have finally realized it is not looking good for them keeping either the house or the senate after Biden supposedly doing better than he thought he ever would.

Gutless GOPe will pencil whip whoever Xiden wants.

They gave no resistance on any of Obama or Clinton’s picks.

They’ll buy Mitch off with another $2B project in Kentucky.

It’s good news for the libs only in that he’s doing it now rather than hanging on like RBG did. Their guy gets to nominate his successor.

Suppose he had decided to hang on till death, as Ginsburg did. After 2024, there will most likely be a Republican president — the Trump restoration, or failing that, someone like DeSantis. Even if we got a Roberts/Kennedy/Kavanaugh type, that person would be far more conservative than Breyer.

So from the left’s perspective, it’s better that Breyer retires now.

You can’t filibuster judicial nominees.
