Stephen Breyer to Retire From Supreme Court After 27 Years

God help us.


Speculation ramps up that Harris could be Biden’s Supreme Court pick

I think that's pretty cool myself... Well, 3 independent tough ladies and a Handmaid, but still....

 

ME!

 

Didn't say I had a chart, just said we could chart. Reversal rate of circuit courts by district over the last 20 years compared to confirmations by party lines in the same period.

 

Who is the Handmaid?

 

What rule? We have the President himself blatantly stating he will only nominate based on skin color and sex. But to your knowledge did we ever have a President saying similar about any of our other Justices?

 

Oh so you are just making up data to push your narrative. Got ya…

Carry on

Meanwhile my point about “not qualified” which is comprised of numerous pieces of analytics stands.

Obama had zero in eight years, trump had nine in four years.

Like I said, try the BS elsewhere

 

The rule of White Supremacy. The rule of male dominance.
White males were the only ones on the Supreme Court until the 60s.
Nobody had to say anything. It was understood.

 

You don't get to decide what they are.

 

Apocryphal does not equate to faked amigo

 

And, again, it was WRONG to do that. Which is why you shouldn't double down on it now.

 

What??? You mean I don’t get a vote???
Obviously I’m giving my personal preference.

 

I'd take Obama over Harris. At least he once taught constitutional law... I'm not sure he remembers any but at least he did it.
She's only ever stuck people in the pokey, she's not a ****ing jurist.

 

Evidence is submitted as proof of the crime. A jury or a judge weighs the evidence as to it's credibility and does it prove the crime. My accusation alone cannot, should not convict you of a crime, evidence, proof of the crime must back it up.

Ford had no evidence, proof of anything thing she for which she was accusing Kavanaugh.

 

Well he has certainly selected the race and gender of who it will be before he starts consideration. How sexist and misandrist of him.

 

Not a good model to base a decision on, 'popularity' in the Senate.

See, before Biden was VP, he tried to run for prez and in the primary before Obama was nominated, he got only 1/5 of 1% of the vote.

Popularity has a lot to do with visibility. So, one and 1/2 terms as VP will do it for Klobuchar. She has far more popularity than Biden did during the 2008 primaries.

Bloomberg will never be president, zero charisma, and that is something that a candidate needs.

Sanders is too old, Abrams, we need her to run for Governor GA.

I think a Dem moderate is the best way to go. She is sharp as a tack, sunny disposition, and moderate. She'll get all the right of center Trump haters and centrist and leftist independents, and the hard left will vote for her to prevent someone on the right from winning. Plus, she is a woman and I think a female president is an idea whose time has come the time is ripe for a female president.

Also, as a political reality, it was tough enough getting a black man, who was half white, to be president, but Obama, if it weren't for his powerful charisma and superior oratory skills ( which drew huge crowds) , no way in hell would have have beaten McCain or Romney because the EC favors republicans. Dems have to win by a wide margin to beat by slim margins in the EC.

 

Here is some interesting info:
1) Supreme Court was created March 4, 1789.
2) There have been 114 Supreme Court justices.
3) First African-American SCOTUS justice was Thurgood Marshall Oct 1967 till Oct 1991.
4) First woman SCOTUS justice was Sandra Day O'Connor Sept 1981 till Jan 2006.
5) There have been 5 women on the Supreme Court.

6)There have been 2 African-American men on the Supreme Court.

So, it looks like White males have dominated the Supreme Court.

 

Bad News about Breyer's replacement.

 

That is bad news.

 

Oh baloney, Trump picked a federalist choice because they want what Repubs want. Guns in every crazy person's hands, Abortion banned and elimination of unions and more power and money to rich people. I don't buy your premise, whatsoever.
Hell, Scalia disregarded centuries of history and precedent, and his reasoning twisted historical fact on Heller. So don't give me any crap about they don't care about outcome. Outcome is the entire reason they pick who they pick.

Regardless of outcome, he says.

My ass

 

This is about as exciting as fart bubbles in the bathtub. One liberal leaves, and another liberal will take his place. It will cause über-rejoicing within the hyperliberal faction -- especially if they achieve their "HOLY GRAIL" of having a person put on the Supreme Court who is (gasp!) Female and Black! -- "Oh, goody, goody, goody!"

Hey... it's their turn to be happy, and at least it will give Geriatric Joe exactly one (ONE) achievement to gloat about!

 

As much time as you spend here, and you don't know who the VP of the US is?? Perhaps some remedial civics training ought to be on your to-do list...

 

No, the data exists. Overturned rulings, the judges/districts responsible at the lower level, and who put them there, all of this is on record. I just don't have a nice neat chart for you but then I never said I had one, I said we could make one. Surely you're no stranger to the reputation of the 9th circuit.

 

Oh..........well excuuuuuusssse me!!!!

 

That was real low of the Biden Administration to leak out this information. What a giant F You to Breyer. Jen Psaki looked happier than I have ever seen her during the questions about who Biden would pick today. I wonder who leaked it and who approved the leak. There's nothing illegal about it, but it speaks a lot to someone's character.
