WASHINGTON—Justice Stephen Breyer plans to retire, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Wednesday, giving President Bidenthe Supreme Court’s liberal wing with the promised nomination of a Black woman who could serve on the court for decades to come.
Justice Breyer, a 1994 Clinton appointee who is 83 years old, is expected to remain on the bench until the end of the current Supreme Court term.
So from reading the remarks, because Biden will pick a Black Woman, you deem her unqualified. How elitist is that. Clear example of white privilege showing. Frat boy Kavanagh was ok? Coney Barrett and 7 children was ok?
Stop already! She will be qualified! But it will be a qualified black woman!! Stop!!✌🏽💪🏽
Condescension
So…not necessarily the most qualified person for the job… BidenLogic
Translation: we’re going to get exactly the same kind of blockage Obama experienced, while Republicans wait to slide back into power...at which point they’ll confirm their appointee in a matter of days.
The vacancy will give President Biden his first chance to name a new justice. He has promised to nominate a Black woman. Wait, isn't Sonia Sotomayor the first 'black' woman on the Court? As a Puerto Rican, she definitely has 'black blood.'
To steal another's tweet. Whoever Biden appoints raped me in high school . I don't know where or when, but I have 5 witnesses who will swear they don't remember it. You must believe the victim!
Great, that’ll solve nothing. We’ll just have an unqualified black woman judge most likely and black people wont feel any less “oppressed.” They’ll still complain it’s not enough and blame the white man for all their problems.
appointment by skin color...I thought we were trying to get away from racism in this country.

He's pledged to NOMINATE one. Even if he gets said woman confirmed, it will remain a 6-3 conservative majority, and should the Senate flip in November, it might be a moot point since the GOP would fight to prevent confirmation of ANY Biden nominee.
LaverneCoxForSCOTUS Make it happen!
I guess he told Joe last week but Biden forgot. He was distracted by a different Breyer.
It's about time iamcardib made it on the Supreme Court
Doesn’t really matter who? As long as it’s a black woman? The fuck.
How tf is that legal. Beginning to understand the massive filibuster efforts the democrats thwarted in the Civi Rights Act to try and stop it.
This is so insulting. I am 100% certain that there are many black women that are equally and sufficiently qualified for the SCOTUS position, but this type of announcement insinuates that a black woman is being put in the position without being equally qualified. POTUS
NominateAnitaHill. That’s how POTUS can really apologize.
Just a black woman or a qualified black woman
Let’s hope Manchin and Sinema don’t screw this up. 😳
hey look it's what ruth should've done.
Now that Justice Bryer is retiring, Biden can keep his pledge of a black woman on the bench, he can nominate Harris!! She can also cast the tie breaking 50-50 vote in the senate, and then Biden could put Hillary as his VP!! 😀
So Kamala then, worked the first time
Will be curious to see how Manchin and Sinema screw Biden's plans this time around!
Why can’t we get a Asian transgender wheelchair person to fill the post
Race & Gender are not Qualifications.
How about we choose the most qualified instead of race? To base and select this position based on race is nothing more than racism. It is truly sad of what we have become.
That appointment will be a door opener for many people of color
Biden must already have someone in mind
This guy did 👇
All these responses saying 'the most qualified person' like we don't already have hacks like Amy Covid Barret & Brett 'I like beer: Kavanaugh. Clearly, they were the 'most qualified,' right? 🙄
Thank god we will get a judge nomination based on gender and skin color. This is what progress is all about!
This isn’t good. Whoever fills the void will be on the side of the oligarchy. We are more screwed than before.
