She takes over the seat effective on 1 July 2022. I assume she’ll be sworn in on that date.
“is this a first? (replacement confirmed prior to resignation)”
I don’t know, but I’m sure they did it this way to avoid another fiasco like when Ginsburg wouldn’t retire and Trump ended up getting to nominate her successor.
That’s not quite the same thing. The President actually received a letter of resignation. As far as I could tell this was just rumor mill.
14 kilos of cocaine, eh? A little more that 14 grams.
There’s a “non-violent” crime for you.
Our guys need to ask how this ‘commie woman person of color’ will rule on different cases (without hearing any evidence) so we can accuse them of lying under oath later.
Oh, and ask about commie connections. There is no reason to be civil with commies who hate our country. Ask the hard questions.
Can I steal that?
Good riddance, but his replacement will probably be worse.
The black woman (we think it’s a woman, right?) will take Breyer’s place as planned, but does this “resolve” the leaker issue?
14kg of cocaine is not a small time dealer.
Breyer confirmed his upcoming retirement, he even gave a speech about it with Xiden.
3 women female Dems....will they all vote the same?? Is the pope Catholic?? Hmmm
In 1989, no less. Wasn’t that when John Kerry and his Sandinista loving pals were blaming Reagan for the cocaine being smuggled into the black community?
It has been common for a Justice to submit his intention to retire with the actual date ‘pending confirmation of a successor’.
It has happened more often in the last century simply because people are living longer.
The votes won’t change, but the opinions will be more woke.
...no, no....as Tammy Bruce said on Tucker or Hannity the other night, “Why, I haven’t seen the Democrats this angry since yesterday...!!” ........
So kadisha gets installed. No overall change. Butt, six folks need to watch out very careful.
...Kadisha....Kentanji....what’s the difference....these are all made-up names anyway....
Close to 30 pounds
If Breyer had not resigned (and say died under the next President) would the confirmation still be valid?
Yes it is a first, and unconstitutional in my opinion, since the Senate confirmed a nominee for a position that wasn't vacant at the time of confirmation.
And if it is constitutional, then when the Republicans get the Senate and the White House, they should line up replacements for EVERY SINGLE JUSTICE and confirm them immediately. Hell, line up 20 candidates for the next 20 SCOTUS vacancies.
