Justice Breyer is retiring….

Well…there was some good news about the supreme court yesterday when Justice Breyer, one of the only 3 judges left who actually follow the law, announced he will be retiring at the end of the present term at the end of June…and that means the Joe Biden will be able to appoint a justice that is not pushed by the Federalist Society, the right wing organization that has funneled millions and millions of dollars into the fight to get only unqualified right wing ideologues on the court. I almost laughed when I heard Susan Collins, who backed jamming Barrett through to the court in the last 30 days before the dems took over the senate, opine that there is no need for speed in getting the next justice appointed…yeah, since they already did it for one of their pet justices but it’s different now…the dems are in control so she thinks they should delay and delay until the possibility of the repubs taking the senate back in November so McConnell can steal a 4th seat. Luckily, Chuck Schumer is using the Barrett appointment as a template for getting the next justice through and will use exactly the same timetable as McConnell did…and we need to play hardball to make sure we get a true progressive that is not beholden to business and the right wing of this country…so, I am waiting to see how this all comes together over the summer…and to see if Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginny is indicted for her part in the January 6th insurrection…and she was all over the conspiracy so she should be….geez…
