Posted January 26, 20223 yr Justice Stephen G. Breyer will retire at the end of the current Supreme Court term. Time for the GOP to complain that the Dems need to wait 3 years before appointing a new one, since we are so close to that election.
January 26, 20223 yr Biden indicated he'd nominate a black woman. Which is ridiculous pandering, but I digress. Michelle Obama FTW.

January 26, 20223 yr Here's a list of some frontrunners, no doubt upstanding women, who are about to have their characters assassinated by the scumbag Republicans. DC Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson Biden has already elevated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson once, appointing her last year to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which is considered the second-most powerful federal court in the country. Previously, the 51-year-old judge served on the federal district court in DC. Because of that appellate appointment, she's already been through a vetting process that included an interview with the President himself. Fittingly, she clerked for Breyer and holds degrees from Harvard and Harvard Law School. She also served as an assistant federal public defender, making her a prime example of the Biden's White House focus on appointing judges with backgrounds that are outside the typical prosecutor and Big Law box. As a judge, Jackson has ruled on high profile cases including the Don McGahn congressional subpoena lawsuit (where, as a district court, she ordered the former Trump White House counsel to comply with the House's subpoena). As an appellate judge, she signed on to the recent opinion ordering the disclosure of Trump White House documents being sought by the House January 6 committee. The Supreme Court declined Trump's request that it reverse the decision in an order this month allowing the documents to be released. California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger Kruger, now 45, was the youngest person to be appointed to the California Supreme Court when then-Gov. Jerry Brown nominated her in 2014. Kruger is intimately familiar with the Supreme Court having worked as a clerk for the late Justice John Paul Stevens and served as acting deputy solicitor general in the Obama administration. While in the Solicitor General's office, she argued 12 cases in front of the Supreme Court representing the government. At the Justice Department, she also earned the Attorney General's Award for Exceptional Service, the department's highest award for employee performance, in 2013 and 2014. At the California Supreme Court, she has authored notable opinions on the 4th Amendment -- holding that law enforcement could not search a woman's purse without a warrant after she declined to provide a driver's license -- and upholding a California law that requires law enforcement to collect DNA samples as well as fingerprints from all persons arrested for or convicted of felony offenses. Though she is said to be well-liked among the alumni of the Solicitor General's office, she has not yet received the thorough vetting that other potential nominees have gone through. South Carolina US District Court Judge J. Michelle Childs Childs, a judge on South Carolina's federal court, is said to have a major booster in House Majority Whip James Clyburn, a Biden ally who helped deliver South Carolina for the eventual nominee in the 2020 Democratic primary. Just last month, Biden nominated Childs to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and the nomination remains pending. A graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Law, Childs does not have the Ivy League pedigree shared by eight of the nine justices. Her cheerleaders have touted her public-school education and other elements of her background as an advantage for Democrats, according to a 2021 New York Times report, and as a way to fight back against claims that the party has become too elitist in its makeup. In addition to a decade spent in private practice, the 55-year-old served as a state court trial judge on the South Carolina Circuit, as the deputy director of the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, and as a commissioner on the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission.

January 26, 20223 yr According to my far right twitter sources, it's going to be Kentanji Brown Jackson. So you can pretty much pencil it in.

The implication that she slept her way to the top? Or are we going all in on an email related scandal? Is Project Veritas on it?

January 26, 20223 yr Imagine how effed the country would be if Trump didn't win in 2016 and ishlibs got to stack the court with more activists.

January 26, 20223 yr Just now, VanHammersly said: I don't think they'll do anything like that. Republicans never unduly attack someone's character for political points. Yeah, honestly there's no way they'd go as low as false rape allegations, but I wish they would ngl.

I have no idea what ngl stands for, but yeah, for sure, Republicans would never do anything like stealing the diary of a President's daughter and then forging creepy allegations into it. That's not their style.
