He probably, and Biden has committed to nominating a woman as his first SCOTUS pick so we'll be up to 4 women on SCOTUS by the end of 2021 in all likelihood.
Which brings up an interesting point...will future presidents (Republican or Democrat) want to invite the potential drama from appointing a man to succeed a female justice? or a White justice to succeed a minority justice? or have certain SCOTUS seats pretty much been reserved for women/minorities going forward?
I'll miss Breyer; him and Thomas are my two favorite justices.
Why so? I know that Breyer and Thomas, despite their ideological differences, have a very good relationship.
When Thomas hits he's on-point, and his style of writing is the most approachable to a non-jurist like myself (Thomas himself was only a judge for 18 months before being appointed to SCOTUS). Breyer's legal approach primarily revolves around more functional or practical concerns, which is a nice reprieve given how much more ideologically-animated the Court has recently become.
