Will Stephen Breyer retire this summer?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

No, he has 1 more yr left on the Crt if he decides to retire before the midterm, he isn't sick and D's can easily win in 2024 anyways

He says he isn't partisan unlike Kennedy whom pretended to be a Moderate and gave the seat to Trump

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Why would Breyer retire before 2024 the Senate map is pro D thru 2024, which secures Biden Reelection because Baldwin and Bob Casey Jr and Stabenow secures the Rust belt

The Generic ballot is plus 10 the Rs due to backtracking on Commission aren't even gonna win the H, he can stay on thru 2027 and if D's secure the Trifecta next time DC Statehood is a certainly

Breyer knows his Health situation and he knows when to retire

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Probably next summer, I'm guessing.

1. He wants a normal last term with in person arguments, etc. And he doesn't want a retirement party over zoom.

2. He doesn't like being told to retire as it makes it seem like he's being political if he does. A stray op-ed is one thing, but the constant stream of them is a bit much. That bus billboard telling him to retire was cringey beyond belief and is twitter come to real life.

3. He's confident the 50 Democratic seats in the Senate will hold at least until the election.

4. Too much chaos already. Scalia dies in an election year, Kennedy retires as normal but Kavanaugh replacement chaos, Ginsburg dies in an election year. Three new colleagues, pandemic, talks of packing the court... I'm guessing John Roberts personally requested he stay on another year given how tumultuous the last few years have been at the court.

Why would he retire next summer and Biden will win reelection and the Senate map is good for D's thru 2026 if we do lose the H it can be won back anyways, Rs aren't gonna win 20/30 seatsin 2024 or 2026

As I stated previously, Casey and Baldwin and Stabenow secures the Reelection of Biden since they won landslides in 2018

Breyer doesn't have a terminal illness, and Scalia was a freak accident, he died in his sleep, that usually doesn't happen unless you are close to death. Sleep rejuvenates the body not kills it

It's a 6-3 Crt why would ant of the Liberals retire in Bidens first term anyways it won't change the balance. Biden is gonna win Reelection anyways and most likely D's keep the Senate.  The Rs aren't taking the Senate in 2022/2024 and PA leans D the pivitol race of the Election

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Honestly, of all of the current justices, I'd bet on Roberts being the next to retire.

He just seems fed up with trying maintain the peace on the court.

I actually wouldn't rule out the possibility of Roberts retiring under a Democratic President. I remember when the left feared the possibility of a Chief Justice Scalia. That wasn't really a realistic scenario. Justice Scalia really did not have the temperament to make a good Chief Justice.

As for Justice Breyer, maybe Bill Clinton needs to talk to him as to the severity of the current crisis in our democracy. A 7-2 conservative majority would be unstoppable.

Why would Clinton talk to him, judges make their own decisions, Ginnsberg stayed on due to fact she thought Hillary would be Elected and she would be on a 5/4 Crt and legalize SSM

Breyer isn't retiring and Biden is gonna get reelected anyways on the 2024 Sen map Stabenow, Baldwin and Casey secures the Rust belt

Even if D's lose the Sen, which they wont, more likely the H, a replacement will be confirmed. Not in 2027, but before the 2026 Election

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I like Breyer and D's can expand their Majority, the Senate maps are good thru 2026 and won't mind as long as D's keep the H him staying onto Summer 2026

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

He will probably retire next Summer, if he does retire, he has a full yr still until the Midterms
