Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring from the Supreme Court in a move with unambiguous political timing after a period where Breyer tried to downplay the influence of partisan politics on the high court. But things have already moved beyond Breyer himself to the question of who will replace him, a process that will do little to buttress Breyer's onetime fantasies of apolitical adjudication of the law. During the 2020 campaign, President Joe Biden pledged to nominate a Black woman to the big bench, and on Thursday afternoon he confirmed that he will follow through on that promise. It hasn't yet happened, to be clear, which hasn't stopped the pre-backlash to the future event from rolling in.
It's like they're getting warmed up.
Just wait for the announcement.
Do you think it's silly to get mad before the candidate is picked?
