RBG passed

[TreeFrogTrader]

As I have said a couple times, Merrick Garland's appointment to be AG is payback and a win for the dems as long as he wants to be AG.

Otherwise, he is going to get to take it up the bo-bo twice. An old white semi-moderate male is NOT what the progressives have in mind for a replacement for RBG.

More likely, the black woman that is appointed to take Garlands place on Appeals Court will then be moved up again, shortly thereafter.

Ouch. That's gonna hurt and leave a mark on Mr. Garland.

GOP already shot themselves in the foot when they declared that the new appointment MUST happen after the election and let the people decide in 2016. Therefore they have no choice but to be quiet until after the election.

RGB is no hero.Selfish bitch allowed McConnell to take that seat.

Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell promised to block any Supreme Court nominee President Joe Biden should put forth if the GOP retakes the Senate next year, and now liberals are urging Justice Stephen Breyer to consider stepping down so Democrats can replace him instead of allowing Republican to create a 7-2 majority.

Word is that Breyer told them to pound sand. We need a couple more Constitutional Conservatives on the court by the way. Right now we have just 3 and thus don't have a majority yet.

Why Stephen Breyer is resisting liberal pleas for him to retire
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/new/why-breyer-resisting-liberal-calls-step-down
For nearly a decade, Justice Stephen Breyer has been brushing off calls for his retirement, and there’s no indication that he’ll give in any time soon.

Breyer, 82, becomes famously prickly when the subject arises. Last March, he told Axios that he doesn’t really think about retiring because “I enjoy what I’m doing.” In December, he shut down the same question from Slate, saying only that he plans to retire “eventually.” More recently, Breyer on Tuesday spoke out broadly against attempts to politicize the high court in a speech to a Harvard Law School audience. Notably, he remained silent on the growing calls for him to step aside.

Stephen Breyer’s Apparent Retirement Plan Will Backfire
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/06/stephen-breyer-retirement-plan-backfire.html

The New York Times reported last month that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, age 82, has been resisting calls for his retirement from fellow progressives. The reason? Breyer apparently worries that retiring in the face of a public pressure campaign from Democrats will increase polarization and a politicized view of the Supreme Court. In reality, a Breyer retirement delay could well have the opposite effect. If Breyer delays too long and Democrats lose control of the Senate before a successor is chosen, then Mitch McConnell could have the opportunity to block a Breyer replacement and supercharge the last five years of intense polarization around the court.

It’s not hard to imagine how a Breyer delay increases the politicization of the court. Breyer waits to retire for a couple of more years, or even a few more months. Democrats lose control of the Senate in the 2022 midterm elections, or because an elderly member of their bare Senate majority passes away and gets replaced with a Republican, restoring Mitch McConnell to his perch as Senate majority leader. Breyer dies or becomes ill soon after Republicans retake the Senate and leaves the court. President Joe Biden, fulfilling his campaign pledge to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, chooses a judicial superstar like California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger or (soon-to-be D.C. Circuit Judge) Ketanji Brown Jackson. McConnell shamelessly announces that Republicans will hold no hearings for a Supreme Court justice until after the 2024 presidential elections, much like he ran out the clock on a hearing for Merrick Garland to fill the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat. Democrats stage protests about the blockade of the nominee, and the nominee’s face is featured prominently in advertising about the court. A key debate in the 2024 presidential election is about who is going to take the seat on the Supreme Court, with knowledge that not only Breyer’s spot, but also likely the seats of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito (two staunch conservatives) could open up with a Republican presidential win in 2024. The court is once again the political football in our national arena.
