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.

The Republicans should be prepared to put the nominee through hell. The only way the Democrats will stop their bullsh!t, is if we fire back.
Biden could nominate Che Guevara and he would still get GOP Senators to confirm him.
They can only vote if there is a vacancy not a possible vacancy.
“Nominating the hildabeast would eliminate her as a Primary challenger.”
Didn’t they take her licence? Didn’t they take Michelle’s?
How about Janice Rogers Brown?

Biden is not doing squat. Eh, cannot get more left than Breyer.

Head fake.
Prediction:. Whoever the meat puppet picks, they will not receive any vetting and will not get the Kavanaugh treatment.
They will be treated like a rock star by the corporate media.
Nor, does she have a long life expectancy. They're going to want a long-term, very solidly leftist appointment.
he wants a no show job
Nope he said a black woman !!!
Maybe the overt lefty the RINO Senators will be able to come out against before they let a more stealthy communist (e.g., Harris) through.
I’m putting my money on Amerosa. ;o)
Oh, you mean the one who suggested a huge number of children were in the hospital with COVID?
AOC she is young and can serve for 40 years
Biden can’t even wipe his own ass, so whoever does that job, will also be nominating a new court candidate.
Breyer was a reliable member of the lefty gang of four. Probably the Biden pick will be even worse.
Lesbians are no doubt over-represented also, although I don't think either of Obama's picks has publicly identified as lesbian.
