WASHINGTON (AP) — Liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring, giving President Joe Biden an opening he has pledged to fill by naming the first Black woman to the high court, two sources told The Associated Press Wednesday.
Breyer, 83, has been a pragmatic force on a court that has grown increasingly conservative in recent years, trying to forge majorities with more moderate justices right and left of center.
The sources spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to preempt Breyer’s eventual announcement. NBC first reported the justice’s plans.
Breyer has been a justice since 1994, appointed by President Bill Clinton. Along with the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Breyer opted not to step down the last time the Democrats controlled the White House and the Senate during Barack Obama’s presidency. Ginsburg died in September 2020, and then-President Donald Trump filled the vacancy with a conservative justice, Amy Coney Barrett.
Breyer’s departure, expected over the summer, won’t change the 6-3 conservative advantage on the court because his replacement will be nominated by Biden and almost certainly confirmed by a Senate where Democrats have the slimmest majority. It also makes conservative Justice Clarence Thomas the oldest member of the court at 73.

Breyer—couldn’t you have waited until after the 2024 Presidential election?
Republicans taking the Senate in 2022 would be enough to stop a Supreme court meltdown of a Breyer’s ice cream cone Joe seeks to lick clean before it melts down too late to be replaced with another of the same flavor of secular socialism, loaded with lots of nuts and a politically correct shaped Cone head of course. I’d be more concerned that Soto Mayor, who looks like she has eaten way too many Mexican Gorditas, might keel over for a Scalia heart attack moment.
Frankly I’d laugh my six off if those two undisclosed sources which could be a fake, turn out to be the reason Breyer refuses to go gently into that dark democrat night, to allow age Depleted Joe to continue rage and bring on the dying of the American light.
Democrat President ,Joe Biden has announced that he , in effect, has said tha Only A Black Woman has The Qualifications Required to Be Nominated to Be A Supreme Court Justice, How Wonderful That God has Given this Leagal Knowledge Required By A Supreme Court Justoce To A Black Woman Alone among all of others. Only Joe Biden Know and Him Alone it seems.
Stephen Breyer said that He’s in Good Health and He Had better Retire If He Wants to remain In Good Health, the Biden democrats Suggested. You never know what might happen!!
HE’s at least making it known he will be staying till CLOSE TO the mid terms are done with at least, hoping the republcans win back the majority… SO THEY CAN SHOOT DOWN ALL of bidens nominees.
When Joe Biden Selected Among all the Legal Judges that have been Judges for Many Years , trying Legal Matters That had came Before Them as Judges, No other ” Sex, Race, Were even to be Considered For Nomination By Joe Biden, How Intolerant, How Sexist, How Racist, Must Democrat Joe Biden Be .
YET he’s not only NOT BEING CALLED OUT FOR his overt sexism/racism. BUT IN many regards, is being PRAISED for it..
go Figure.
No one has Said that Stephen Breyer was Dumper Than a Rock, He Could See what democrat elite were suggesting about his retiring from the Supreme Court was good Advice considering how Supreme Court Justice, Scalia had mysteriously found Dead with A pillow over his mouth, Strange, how things happen sometimes .
Stephen Breyer, Supreme Court Justice Appointed By democrat Liberal, Socialist / Communist President, Bill Clinton, Confirms , Like This Quote States, ” That The Acorn Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree . “
The Civil Rights Act of 1964
prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
“President Joe Biden an opening he has pledged
to fill by naming the first Black woman to the high court.”
There is already 3 women in the supreme court but only 1 Black male.
By saying and doing this he would NOT be picking the best person for the supreme court.
He would be making his choice by “race and gender” thus discriminating against men and all other races.
ASupreme Court Nominee Will be Socialist, Communist, President Joe Biden’s to Make. Supreme Court Justice, Stephen

Of Course All the Supreme Court Justices are Non- Political and don’t plan Their Announcement of Their Retirement So That it Won’t allow Any one Political Party president Can’t take Advantage of His Retirement And ” pack The Court with a Particular politica l Parties Justices, Ya, Sure, democrat President Joe Biden has allready said that He Would Nominee A Woman , Minority, To be Nominated to the Supreme Sourt, Can anyone Say, ” Meshella Obama .??
God lets hope not! We’ve already had one America hating obama that tried to destroy our government, and radical left wing loonie Mooch is even more dangerous than her so called husband was.
AHH, but as we’ve seen WITH ALL THESE bloody laws.. IT ONLY EVER applies when its WHITES or males, being Punished/forced to ‘go inclusive’.. Blacks and women can be as racist/sexist as they want, AND THE LAW PROTECTS THEIR sorry butts….
The Bible States, That it was Eve, of Adam And Eve, ” A Female, Who First Ate The For -biden Fruit And then tempted Adam to Alse Eat Some of ” The Forebidden Fruit and they realized that, They both were Naked, A Female First Ate of the Forebidden Fruit then seduced Adam into eating some of the fruit too.- A Female, ate first of the Forebidden Fruit… What does this say about democrat, President, Joe Biden selecting a ” Black Female, only, to nomonate to sit on The Supreme Court…
He couldn’t have waited because he most likely was threatened by the democrats to retire or else. That’s how the democrats roll.
I’m sure Soros will insist on being the decider and name the replacement since he is paying most of the Democrat’s legal bills these days.
Well when the ones who get to choose are antichristian- sexual perversion murdering looting burning agreeing creatures we know what’s coming. God help us! If anyplace anywhere ever needed Jesus to come back it’s here and now.
The honchos in the racist & race baiting Dem Party will put mugshots of a bunch of black, female identifying, totally unqualified but fanatic, Dems in front of a blindfolded Joe & he will play “pin the tail on the donkey”.
How degrading for the winner although many black Dems don’t seem to know or care that white Dem Party honchos consider them to be easily manipulated ignorant “do as they are told” simpletons.
AND with the utter Debacle we’ve seen most every female black, who IS IN higher office/judge spots, have SO FAR BEEN… HOW CAN ANYONE see this as being anything different?!
