Schumer Nudges Justice Breyer to Retire, Says Dems 'Stand Ready' to Fill a Vacancy


Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is under pressure from the far-left to retire in the immediate future so that President Joe Biden can nominate a progressive to sit on the bench while Democrats can confirm a nominee. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made a not-so-subtle nudge to Breyer, without directly asking him to retire, repeating that Senate Democrats “stand ready” to fill any vacancies.


“As always, Senate Democrats stand ready to expeditiously fill any potential vacancies on the Supreme Court should they arise."

I think Schumer believes they are going to take a shellacking in the mid terms.

They could probably get their choice candidate confirmed this year or next, but if they miss that window it could be a very uphill battle.
