Biden has long been preparing for a Supreme Court pick

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has already narrowed the field for his first Supreme Court pick.

Biden said as a presidential candidate that if he were given the chance to nominate someone to the court, he would make history by choosing a Black woman. And word on Wednesday that Justice Stephen Breyer plans to retire should give Biden that opportunity.

“As president, I’d be honored, honored to appoint the first African American woman. Because it should look like the country. It’s long past time,” Biden said in February 2020 shortly before South Carolina’s presidential primary.

The White House has reiterated Biden’s campaign pledge since his election.

Almost all recent Supreme Court picks have been federal appeals judges. And since Biden took office in January 2021, he has worked to dramatically expand his options in that potential candidate pool by nominating five Black women who are currently sitting on federal appeals courts, with three more nominations pending before the Senate.

Katanji Brown-Jackson is the Obama puppet’s top pick according to Sundance. Hyper-leftist black woman.

SMOD where are you?

With Biden being underwater in the polls -33% people will actually look at any nominee and the GOP will (hopefully) grow a pair and not rubber-stamp someone.

How about Mikey?

Regardless of who he picks, Manchin & Sinema will need some serious wooing to mend their fences.

Her husband is also Paul Ryan’s Brother-in-law’s twin brother. Remember that swamp we always heard about?

“Because it (SCOTUS) should look like the country.”


Let’s see. I’ll do a little math. There is already one black Justice, so that would make SCOTUS 11% black already. Adding another black would make the court 22% black. Not quite looking like the country as portrayed in TV commercials, but getting there!

Stupid race panderer.

Biden has been doing nothing.

His handlers have made the selection for him and did it long ago.

That’s what I think too. The only way to get Heels up Harris off the ticket would be to give her a seat on the SCOTUS. Then the Democrats could put in a replacement they thought might be viable.

Then of course, its curtains for resident Biden. If Jill Biden has any brains, she will torpedo this. Willie Brown’s slam piece being the totally unviable replacement is Biden’s only means of staying on office.
