Retirement.
The announcement came before the words were even spoken by the retiree; liberals are so anxious to avoid another Ruth Bader Ginzburg situation, they've lined up to usher Associate Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer out to pasture. The jurist served nearly 30 years on the country's highest court, but he's getting the bum's rush... his replacement must be vetted and seated before the midterm elections erase the democrat majority.
Okay, that's politics, republicans would do the same thing. They did... can you say Amy Coney Barrett?
Joe Biden will name a replacement when, he said, Justice Breyer actually announces his retirement. Who will it be? Well, on the campaign trail... meaning the well-worn path on the carpet between his Laz-E-Boy and the bathroom in his basement, Joe Biden promised to nominate a black woman.
Of course, a black woman may be the most qualified candidate, but should that be the primary consideration? Joe Biden thinks so, and he's done it before to disastrous effect. A person's color doesn't confer competency; for all of her melanin, Kamala Harris has turned out to be one of the most inept and unpopular vice presidents ever.
The examples are numerous; need further proof? Kamala Harris will soon be leading the Biden/Harris administration's delegation attending the inauguration of the new Honduran president, an avowed socialist whose husband, a former contemptibly corrupt president and Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro supporter, was ousted from the job by a military coup... a woman who chose as her vice president an unapologetic anti-Semite whose wife recently said, "Hitler was a great leader."
Right... THAT incompetent, inept and unpopular Kamala Harris! But... Joe Biden may have just been handed the miracle he needs to turn America's attention away from his many and continuing failures. There will be an opening on the Supreme Court, Kamala Harris was once California's Attorney General, and… she's a black woman.
Joe Biden could rid his administration of a major liability by appointing Kamala Harris to the Supreme Court. And because he's already suspected of being senile... and rightly so, no one would be surprised if Joe Biden were to choose an experienced, savvy, and well-connected replacement; Hillary Clinton checks all three boxes. And few would be any more surprised if the "Clinton Curse" soon thereafter struck again.
Hillary could finally read her tear-stained acceptance speech from 2016, the question, "What Happened?" would be answered once and for all, the universe would once again be properly aligned... and Bill would have a brand-new gaggle of interns from which to choose!
Or Justice Breyer could let it all play out and, at the last moment, yell "PSYCH!" before taking his seat on the bench. Which would be the best thing that could possibly happen for America...
And all those interns. too!
