Should Breyer step down in the next two years?

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Should Justice Breyer step down from the court during the next two years while Biden is President and Democrats hold the Senate? In my opinion, particularly after the lesson learned with RBG — may she Rest In Peace — yes, it would be a travesty if he doesn’t.

[AndyHogan14]

He should step down, as should any Democratic appointed federal judge that is over the age of 70.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

He should step down, as should any Democratic appointed federal judge that is over the age of 70.

This is a good point. Replacing old circuit and appellate court justices with young new appointees while we hold the senate may be our only chance to diminish the damage done to the judiciary during Trump’s presidency.

[Skill and Chance]

Yes, and there's a decent argument he should do it immediately on the 21st and not wait to the end of the term because of how unstable a 50+VP/50 senate majority is.   

[Bootes Void]

While at it Sotomayor should do so as well, she is 67 as well.

[Kingpoleon]

While at it Sotomayor should do so as well, she is 67 as well.

Yeah, that’s not happening.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

While at it Sotomayor should do so as well, she is 67 as well.

Telling her to step down wouldn't be unprecedented. McConnell told dozens of W. Bush appointees around that age to step down.

[President Johnson]

Yes. He's a great justice, but obviously he needs to retire to allow Joe Biden pick a successor. Hopefully Joe Biden also gets to replace a conservative judge, especially Alito and Thomas.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

No, with our Senate lineup in 2024, D's have a strong chance to win in 2024, RBG had Pancreatic cancer and from taking care of my mom, Pancreatic cancer affects the way you sit, and it affects the way you hear cases. Breyer has no reason to step down

He has longevity

[Chickpeas]

Yes he should step down this year or next, maybe Biden can offer him a Presidential Medal of Freedom if he retires to entice him.      

[It’s so Joever]

He should step down, as should any Democratic appointed federal judge that is over the age of 70.

60*

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yes he should step down this year or next, maybe Biden can offer him a Presidential Medal of Freedom if he retires to entice him.      

He's not stepping down, he is healthy, Kennedy only stepped down as a favor to Trump, he was healthy too

[GALeftist]

Yes, obviously. ASAP.

Also, watch Alito and Thomas kick the bucket like the day after the GOP retakes the Senate in 2023 ad be stonewalled until Tom Cotton replaces them with like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

A death could easily cost the Democrats the Senate, so he should retire at the end of the current SCOTUS term.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yes, obviously. ASAP.

Also, watch Alito and Thomas kick the bucket like the day after the GOP retakes the Senate in 2023 ad be stonewalled until Tom Cotton replaces them with like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk.

He has no plans on retiring he isn't sick

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

Every liberal leaning judge over 55 should resign so they can be replaced by fresh law school grads

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

In my opinion, particularly after the lesson learned with RBG — may she Rest In Peace — yes, it would be a travesty if he doesn’t.

It pains me more than anything that RBG can never be properly grieved.

[HisGrace]

Would be a good strategic move. In hindsight it was somewhat selfish of RBG to stay all that time and not step down at some point when Obama was in office.

Ginsburgs plan was to have Hillary replace her

[emailking]

It would be good to step down as soon as possible, pending confirmation of the replacement. Dem's control is knife edge, a death in the wrong state and they could be in the minority again.

Ginsburgs plan was to have Hillary replace her

Yeah, but the way that went down sort of demonstrates that when Obama was elected she should've taken what she could get. Better to have a 100% chance of a like-minded successor than a coin flip between a symbolic victory and a racist reality TV star appointing some handmaid's tale type justice to completely demolish your legacy.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Why do you guys think Merrick Garland was Appointed AG, Biden knows there isn't gonna be a vacancy in the SCOTUS, otherwise, he would have saved Garland for Breyer seat, as I said earlier, Breyer isn't retiring until Biden and his second term, 2024 Senate lineup even if D's lose in 2022, and they can with the failure of the IRS and the Stimulus 600 not going to appropriate accounts, will give Biden with Bob Casey JR securing PA, a second term.

Where is Kamala Harris she was leading the calvary on 2K checks, she has disappeared again

[Florida Man]

Yes. This year.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yes. This year.

No

No? That means nothing.

1. Garland was Obama's choice. While very close, Biden might want to pick someone else

2. Garland was a compromise, Obama hoped he would be the one judge senate republicans could stomach. Now he is free to do as he pleased

But I do think he should retire.
