Democrats finally get their opportunity to replace a Supreme Court Justice!

[Hardkill]

Good news, everyone!

Just this morning, the mainstream media broke the news of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement plan. That now means that Biden will be able to appoint a brand new liberal justice to the SCOTUS and then have the pick confirmed by Senate Majority leader Schumer, Senate Majority Whip and Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee Dick Durbin, and the rest of the Democrats in the Senate. 

Breyer won't formally announce the exact details on his plan for retiring until tomorrow; however, they say that Breyer will probably finish his time with SCOTUS this summer.

Good! I expect Republicans will do everything they can to stall the process. And maybe even some things they legally can’t. If it turns out I’m wrong that’s even better!

Yeah, hopefully the Republicans will only be able to just delay the process for just a little while.

The justice who’s retiring is a liberal, so it won’t make any difference to the number of liberals in the Supreme Court. Trump put 3 conservatives there. And none of them will be retiring anytime soon.

That's true and I always knew it.

However, at the very least, the Dems are very likely able to stop the Republicans from putting in a 7th conservative Justice in SCOTUS. Plus, there's a very strong chance that we'll end up having the very first black woman US Supreme Court justice.
