It will be fun to watch the dysfunctional US Senate fail to do its job again.

Dem Senators up for re-election in Red and Purple states may be reluctant to vote for progressive moonbat.

Let's see what parade of misfits is on the short list.

I know one person who would love a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court ...



Putting Hillary on the Supreme Court coveniently clears the path to the 2024 Democratic Presidential Nomination for Dem wannabees.

Biden has long been preparing for a Supreme Court pick
By JESSICA GRESKO and COLLEEN LONGan hour ago

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.

Biden said it has to be a black woman.

Translate that to Susan Rice being his nominee.

Oh...I forgot about her....hmmmm!

[DefiantMassRINO]

Susan Rice might be the only other person as objectionable, or more objectionable, than Hillary Clinton.  But common sense hasn't stopped their bad ideas, so far.

Let's see what gem of obstructionism that Mitch McConnell will invent to delay filling the seat until there is a GOP majority in the US Senate.

Multiple sources tell me Justice Breyer was not planning to announce his retirement today. They describe him as "upset" with how this has played out. We still await any official notice from his office and/or the #SCOTUS public information office.— Shannon Bream (@ShannonBream) January 26, 2022

I doubt very much that he'll do that.  At most, he'll use just enough delaying tactics that the Senate will not be able to take up any of the real boondoggles the democrats want to get through, like BBB or their voter fraud initiative.

[Right_in_Virginia]

A bit more clarity. I'm told Justice Breyer had firmly decided on his own to retire and that an announcement was due very soon. And while it appears someone jumped the gun on that, better to characterize him as surprised by events today than "upset".— Shannon Bream (@ShannonBream) January 26, 2022

The ol' pre-announce the retirement to coerce actual retirement trick.

Man, the progressive moonbats have embraced playing dirty pool and eating their own young.

Jen Psaki just reaffirmed that the President will only consider a black woman for the next nomination -- a threshold gender and race condition that the Court itself has found unconstitutional for schools and unlawful for private businesses.

That should be played up for all its worth at the confirmation hearings.  Hay should be made.

I seriously doubt that.  He knows he's getting close to the time when he'll have to leave, and he wants to leave on his own terms and not those that Fate would dish out.  He also wants to have some certainty about his replacement.

[Wingnut]

Biden's stooge Ron Kline probably pushed this out to the press so not to wait till the June end term normal announcement timing.
