Multiple media reports now affirming that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire at the end of the current court term [ABC Report – NBC Report] setting up the final step to elevate DC Appeals Court Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
This is exactly what was planned from the appointment of Merrick Garland to U.S. Attorney General. [GO DEEP] As CTH outlined in January 2021, the series of moves was/is predictable. The Obama crew behind Biden have been following a predictable roadmap. Four sequential steps.
In March 2021, Merrick Garland was confirmed Attorney General to open his seat in the DC Appeals Court for Kentanji Brown Jackson. KBJ’s appointment to that specific court needed Senate confirmation. In June 2021, KBJ was confirmed [GO DEEP] with a vote of 53-47. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Lindsey Graham voted with Democrats to support KBJ to the circuit court. Now Breyer steps down and KBJ is nominated to replace him.
“U.S. Appeals Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, a former Breyer clerk, public defender and Biden appointee who won three Senate Republican votes in confirmation, is considered a top contender for nomination” ~ABC
As we predicted in March 2021, “this is how they roll”. With Obama’s crew you always have to watch the other hand – the third and fourth moves.
MARCH 2021 – Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court. Garland’s replacement will be a senate confirmed seat for that court.
Once that replacement is Senate confirmed, we anticipate (almost to a certainty) that replacement will be quickly elevated to a Supreme Court nomination to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, now 82-years-old. The Senate will have no political ammunition to block or not confirm the radical SCOTUS pick, because she will have been confirmed a few months before. It’s a smart play.
Garland himself is too old (69) and too centrist for the interests of the JoeBama ideology; but watch for JoeBama-Biden to move activist DC District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (50), twenty years Garland’s junior, into the DC Circuit Appeals Court role.
Despite her known activist ideology, Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson will likely achieve Senate confirmation without issue for the circuit court role. Soon thereafter, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer announces his departure, and Judge Brown Jackson is quickly nominated as Bryer’s replacement.
Having passed senate confirmation recently, activist Judge Kentaji Brown Jackson -a black female who checks all the boxes- is then positioned to avoid Senate challenge and will move swiftly through the SCOTUS confirmation process.
It is a typically Obama-esque play. As a standalone nomination for SCOTUS she would be a radical pick; Justice Brown Jackson is a known activist in the DC District Court; however, with this maneuver she could get through nomination easier and then sit on the highest court for thirty years.
Additionally, Obama’s former White House Homeland Security Advisor, Lisa Monaco, will be Deputy Attorney General supporting Garland. Monaco then becomes the insurance policy to keep an eye out for the ideological needs of the JoeBama administration and assist with the smart political targeting that will come from the DOJ, FBI and the IRS.

We all know that Biden is an avatar for Obama’s third term. Hence the plan by Team Obama (BLM) and James Clyburn (AME) to use a cognitively impaired tool to secure the 2020 club nomination. They then inserted Kamala Harris as the useful radical to manipulate for actual policy objectives.
Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never return to that time before when you did not see them. It’s all a conspiracy theory until it’s proven accurate, then it’s racist…

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released a statement on Wednesday praising outgoing Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer for his term on the court while also promising a “prompt hearing” and a confirmation process with “deliberate speed” for whomever Biden chooses for the High Court.
-Daily Wire
Wonder what “offer” was made to Breyer to convince him to step down, since he had previously said that he had no intention of doing so? Clearly, it was one that he couldn’t “refuse”…
He was told he would be going on a hunting trip in West Texas.
And there would be the most comfy pillows at the lodge.
Not to kill his family…
GET THIS
Shannon Bream@ShannonBream
Multiple sources tell me Justice Breyer was not planning to announce his retirement today. They describe him as “upset” with how this has played out. We still await any official notice from his office and/or the #SCOTUS public information office.
IT WAS A SET UP!
Trial balloon. I wondered why Breyer said a few weeks ago he was not going to resign when the left made threats after he sided with the conservatives on the court with a ruling and now he’s resigning.
They needed a distraction from inflation, from the sonofthebitchgate, and from Ukraine.
Actually one of the first I thought when I heard the news.
Isn’t everything in DC?
Bream’s revised that in a later tweet… now saying “surprised”.
Their ammunition will be us DESTROYING THEM NOW in the midterms.
replace the 3 people that voted – no matter what. even if its with a dem. who cares. Make the Dem and outsider that stupidly picked the DEM party but only supports their people – like GA Vernon.
This puts so- called ‘moderate’ democrat Senators in a tricky position. Consider Montana’s own Jon “Slayer of Buffets” Tester. He will be up for reelection in 2024; he cannot maintain his “Hey-yuh, I are a Montanian jus’ like y’all” shtick if he is forced to vote for a flaming leftist nominee. But Chuck You Schumer has a hot ring in his nose and Jon will do what he says. Which, if played right, will go a long way towards getting Jon out of office. We can only hope….
why not get the 3 repubs voting – coming out now publically saying it was a MISTAKE.
Used to think these “American” states produced American representatives, but that just means they were naive and susceptible to the worst politicians on the planet–Claire “Private Jet” McCaskill and Steve “0bama B0lshevik” Cohen come to mind, but the list is long and execrable.
Even if Tester votes to confirm KBJ and loses his seat as a result, The Swamp will take GOOD care of him! Does anyone remember Joe Crowley (the high ranking Dem AOC knocked off), Cryin’ Johnnyh Boehner or Paul Lyin’ Ryan? Joe Crowley and Cryin’ Johnny got themselves nice K Street gigs, while Lyin’ Ryan is on Fox’ board. See what I mean? Even if Tester falls on his sword for Chucky Schmucky Schumer, he’ll be WELL taken care of…
What is wrong with Lindsey Graham? After what the Dems did to Kavanaugh Graham said he would never again vote for Dem nominees just because it’s is their right to appoint who they want. If 47 other Republicans voted against this women there must have been a problem. With Collins and Murkowski it is what you expect they are actually Dems. But Graham with he passionate defense of Kavanaugh and his anger at the Dems has made himself look like a fool again.
They have compromising photos or evidence on him.
i could care less if he crossdressed, or had a bf – if he stood for America, took the shame, and voted to save us.
The photos were probably when he an mccain were up to something. You have to know there’s loads of that type of evidence.
Re “They have compromising photos or evidence on him.”
Totally unnecessary with Graham. He’s as corrupt as any Democrat and is a charter member of the Uniparty. I bet he even carries his membership card in his left pocket… He pays his membership dues the same way other corrupt politicians do, by trading favors with the ‘opposition.’
The DOJ/FBI has been wiretapping Federal Judges since JFK started it.
He is just playing the same game he has done since his days with John McCain. The worst kind of back-stabbing phony, no morals but pretends to always be thoughtful.
Kabuki theater with Graham. He rants all the time and plays the outraged conservative, but he is war mongering Uniparty to the core. Every election, there are at least two other conservative splitter candidates running against him.
Graham is an emotional basket case.
Don’t worry, Vannity, Rove and Fox Snews will run cover for Ms Lindsey.
Now, Now…Miss Lindsay will go along to get along as long as the pictures and stories don’t surface!
It’s all kabuki theater.
Given that this spot will go to somebody that can pretend to be competent while actually being an idiot like the covid fearing leftists, how are they going to get Heels Up Harris to step aside in time to get a Biden replacement set in place before the next election?
They can’t run Biden or Harris in ’24 and win. They can’t dump Harris without losing Clyburn and his organized black support. And they can’t afford to actually replace Biden with Harris before the election.
dump Kamala – add Michelle.
Big Mike, the Linebacker sized “First lady”. (sarc)
perfect timing to divide the country. and weaken it during a China Russia Alliance.
Michelle O. is lazy and loving the celebrity lifestyle and $$$.
She won’t be giving that up.
More likely Susan Rice replaces Harris.
election?
Nov 2022 will be a potential Peaceful Protest.
thanks. I didn’t want to intrude.
I still think Hillary’s waiting for her turn!
Dump Pelosi and install a “presidential” speaker early summer who will step in after 25th amendment for BOTH Biden and Harris. The new speaker will appoint new VP that will be their pick to run against Trump. The new speaker will blame SlowJoe and Kamalatoe and the radical left for all the countries problems, purge many of them and install more “moderate” Obama people just in time for 22.
Unfortunately it will work for the masses of uninformed voters who won’t see it as a lie.
I’m sure they have leverage against Harris to force her to resign. With a nice golden parachute if she cooperates. Clyburn won’t complain if the replacement is Stacey Abrams or that NY AG.
And if Pelosi does retire, Cyburn is in line to move up the food chain. Finish his political career as Minority Leader or Speaker.
Her replacement would already be chosen. Republicans won’t contest a VP nominee. They won’t want those bad optics.
I was going to deliver another “woman of color” for discussion, but The Bee beat me to it: Elizabeth Warren. https://babylonbee.com/news/biden-to-nominate-progressive-woman-of-color-elizabeth-warren-to-supreme-court
The only joy out of this woman’s putative nomination will be listening to Old Man Biden mangle her name.
😂
Biden nominates Kamala to get her out of the Administration. Biden nominates Hillary for VP. Biden resigns in 2023 for health reasons. Hillary becomes President for potentially 10 years. Not beyond the realm of possibility. Yikes!
Ten years not, nuclear war within a year …
That scenario is not possible.
With Harris out…they don’t have 51 votes to confirm any VP, let alone Hilldog.
Republicans won’t contest a VP pick.
Paul and Cruz will get to rant, but the final Senate vote will be 85-15 or better.
85-15 for Hillary?
Kamala does not resign VP post until she’s confirmed by the Senate to SCOTUS and is sworn in. In the meanwhile, Hillary is confirmed by the Senate while Kamala is still VP to break tie if required. But there won’t be a tie because of the RINOs.
Hillary is old and white…the Squad will never go along with her being installed! But I do suspect THIS is why “Eyebrows” Pelosi suddenly announced her re-election bid yesterday. Wonder if she has been promised the VP position if Kamala is handed SCOTUS to get her out of the way? Would love to see a good catfight break out amongst all the “woke” factions demanding that “their” nominee get the slot!
“Pelosi suddenly announced her re-election bid yesterday.”
It’s hard to believe that Madam Polident wants to be minority leader. She must be confident in the “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”.
She’s like those old Soviet politburo members. She only leaves when they carry her out in body bag.
“We don’t agonize, we Organize!”
Even If it has not been offered, Nancy has thought about her path to 1600 day and night since Nov 3rd 2020
😳 where’s that sweet meteor of death??
Obama retreads in the White House control Biden. The Obamas and Clintons despise each other. Obama would never permit this.
I agree. You’ll find the Lolita express and Bill’s many trips suddenly in the press if Hilary tries it. As far as the Obamas are concerned, Hilary is a tenuous barnacle they want to scrape off at last.
Exactly.
Exactly! And the Joebama Junta will NEVER let Kilary near office again. The junta has their plan A, B and C. The destruction of the economy and world conflict is happening according to their plans.
Something big has to happen to take our attention off the dismal job Joebama has done in 1 year…what will it be? War? Another plandemic? Another FBI/CIA orchestrated terrorist attack on our soil? Will something happen to our Olympic athletes in Bejing? (still believe we should boycott the games; really do feel for the athletes who trained for years)
Something wicked this way comes…
Another radical dopey angry far left activist for the sc?
Republicans better Bork this unqualified agitator
My guess it that she hates white people with a vengeance.
That’s why she’s Hussien’s pick.
Perhaps she does but is married to a white guy.
Remember Democrats…let’s treat this nominee just like you treated Kavanaugh’s! It’s all about equality!
God, please protect Justices Thomas and Alito.
Justice Thomas’s wife, Ginni, is now under vicious assault by the perfidious and pernicious media. It seems Justice Thomas is now in the crosshairs.
just to start the recuse narrative.
if we stuck with PDJT’s guidance of calling the industry FAKE NEWS we wouldnt be reacting to their garbage by now.
They can’t get to him. They’ve tried that in his confirmation hearing with two of the most odious repellent men to sit in the Senate.
But his lovely and loving wife? It distresses me to point out that she is white and therefore fair game according to liberal/Marxist orthodoxy.
i just keep it simple, and say they are racist activist going after a Black man’s wife.
sharpen their tool, and use it against them
If we had a competent Republican hierarchy, which we don’t, that would be a good way to handle it, WB.
we have the public forum – and we live in every state. we shun the people around us, and we speak publically. your message will resonate.
continue speaking in public. You can make a ripple that starts the wave.
Noted…there is power in numbers, and someone has to throw the stone that starts those ripples.
Agk!!!

What is that picture Sundance? I think I see Joe’s face and Hunters but when I search for it under the iMaksim.com I get an error report. Curious minds wish to know. Thank you for all you do.
It’s a take on a painting of a Roman orgy with the god Bacchus. Images of Democrats replace the Romans. B. Obama is Bacchus.
Imagine that— a black female Supreme Court Justice nomination just in time for Black History Month.
The lapdog media have their marching orders.

A little Money laudering for Obama Foundation
I’ve already been seeing lots of new commercials on public broadcasting channels trying to sway the minds of the african american voters. It’s amazing how that always happens in election years.
So, explain again how Trump was given a choice of Kavenaugh and Barrett or no one.
I want Trump to step up to the podium and publicly say that he was forced by Graham to appoint only those.
Until I hear him say it, I don’t believe it.
It wasn’t that President Trump had to deal with Grahamnesty. He had to deal with the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell.
The Senate leader decides which senate races to send money to, which committee assignments went to whom, which legislation would have the leader’s support and which candidates would be supported.
Btw, do you think Mittens Romney’s niece heading up the RNC was siding with Mitch or with President Trump?
Sidelining any President Trump nominee would have been very easy for the establishment Republicans.
Look at how many have spoken out against voting integrity laws. The most action has been seen at the STATE level and is still being bucked by establishment snakes.
Do you think it was by accident the President Trump was stymied by the leaders of Congress his first two years?
Do you think, maybe, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and Rona McDaniel had a plan and it was not advancing the MAGA/America First agenda?

Here’s a search of Mitch McConnell here on CTH:

There is more than enough information in just about any of results to give you the information needed to answer your query of “So, explain again how Trump was given a choice of Kavenaugh and Barrett or no one.”
ketanji is a shoo-in, unfortunately. From what I have heard, she is a radical leftist, makes breyer look right wing. We really could have used a true conservative in the mold of Scalia to fill breyer’s seat, but it wasn’t to be.
A consequence of a stolen election.
A consequence for decades.
Manchin and Sinema loom large in this scheme.
No matter plenty of RINOs are lined up.
it’s all a fund raiser for the DC Swamp.
Both have voted for every, single one of Biden’s nominees.
Just what we need on the Supreme Court is an affirmative action hire.
Hopefully she’ll consistently stick both feet in her mouth from day one everyone can see her true colors. (pun intended)
Filibuster?
Every time I open the Conservative Treehouse site, I cringe, and almost not open it, because of all the Marxist BS bad news.
keep in mind, the news here is a projection of their plans — and by exposing them SOMETIMES their plans fail
Lawyers are the anti-engineers or the anti-technologists, and Jesus was a carpenter or tektōn (τέκτων), so draw the logical conclusion.
Or, heels-up could be the replacement. Crooked would replace her. China Joe retires due to “health” issues. Voila! Crooked is president.
Could well happen, but it will do so only if this is still what Obama wants. However, at the time this plan was pieced together, it was not yet clear that Harris is a bumbling idiot. So, it wouldn’t surprise me if Obama opts to promote her to the SC, and insert his wife in the VP slot, with an eye on returning to the WH as first husband. From his point of view, this would have the added benefit of banishing the Clinton faction even deeper into the political wilderness.
I still think whichever candidate they offer will not be selected, suddently Kamala will be offered and accepted, HRC moves to VP spot, Biden leaves office early, HRC moves into Presidency and the gates of hell open up on American Citizens………..
I don’t know anything about this person. I just hope she’s brighter with a better grasp of jurisprudence than Sotomayor and Kagan.
Kagan, and even Sotomayor, are geniuses in comparison to her.
She looks like a real genius.
What’s her IQ?
Its deleted from the Internet, including her legal faux pas!
Most assuredly another double digit contender.
Meh, could someone be worse than Breyer? His judicial philosophy could be charitably called – results oriented – whenever he got the chance (and the votes) he would erase objective legal standards and rules in favor of more ‘discretion’ for the trial courts. And Breyer hated property rights in all forms, shapes and sizes.
Reminder: The “Trump judges” haven’t done such a hot job lately.
Remember those statements “No Standing?” We’re #PostConstitutional anyway at this point.
Maybe Biden will gum up the works and nominate himself.
It would be an excellent time for someone to hack the teleprompter and he nominates Donald Duck.
WOW!
Multiple sources tell me Justice Breyer was not planning to announce his retirement today. They describe him as “upset” with how this has played out. We still await any official notice from his office and/or the #SCOTUS public information office.
Given the behavior of the lapdog media and their attacks on the Justices, I believe this was a set up!
DON’T RETIRE BREYER .— Ruth Bader Ginsburg didn’t for ANY REASON!
Don’t let them manipulate you.
Maybe Breyer will stay ‘upset’ enough to let it be know he is not going to retire! That would be a nice reminder that politicians don’t get to call all the shots in DC.
Justice Breyer actually thought they gave a damn about how it played out! That’s rich.
Well, I can’t say I’m surprised they would manipulate for the desired outcome. They do it time and again.
What surprises me is that any in their party would be surprised.
How do you confirm a SC Justice that can’t decide which last name to use?
Small swamp. 🙄
In 1996, Ketanji Brown Jackson married Patrick G. Jackson, a surgeon and the twin brother of former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s brother-in-law.
Just as Lindsey planned. Had enough yet? Keep supporting the traitorous gopE and this will be the norm as we PROGRESS down the road.
Btw, Breyer was meeting with Congress members at some point over the last year. I’m guessing Lindsey was in on that to?
The Dems want someone on the Supreme Court who is left wing Democrat, making the SC more and more another political body. With Sotomayor as an example of the intelligence of Democrat nominees, I’m not holding out hope that this nominee might be.
Interesting that Wikipedia already has this information written in their article about her. Justice Breyer’s announced retirement and that she may be Biden’s pick for the Supreme Court.
Will the Republicans play hardball and ask Jackson tough questions and investigate her life since kindergarten?
The Magic 8 Ball says: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Republicans grow a set? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Who will be the first to compare her to John Marshall- Cruz, Rubio, or Graham? Since the first two are Cubans, I suspect it will be Graham.
Looks like a simple token affirmative action appointment based on race and gender rather than qualifications, from the truly racist party.
Bet it’s Obama. Just watch.

Wow. Maybe Breyer hadn’t quite made up his mind, and the Biden/Harris/Obama/Klain administration leaked it to push him out the door.
Whoever the Democrats now confirm will have to live with the fact that they have their seat because liberal dark money groups bullied a Justice into retirement, then forced his hand by leaking the story.

Won’t bother the nominee one bit. Whitlock assumes any Dem nominee would have a conscience.
Tom Fitton
No doubt leftists leaked Breyer retirement as part of their pressure campaign to force Breyer off the court. Big question is did the leak come from the Supreme Court itself?
Kagan or Sotomayor. I’d guess Kagan. I always thought she was put on the court as a mole who would leak preliminary votes on cases to Obama. Sotomayor came up through the federal system, and may have some respect for judicial tradition, but Kagan was never a judge – just a lefty academic until Obama chose her for Solicitor General.
No biggie.
She’s a cultural marxist replacing a cultural marxist.
No change.
I agree with that , insuring the automatic safe liberal vote seat at SC before mid terms and click bait for ginning up minority vote for mid terms … “see what we did” ….and btw Justice Breyer just got the memo about his announced retirement and putative successor …
And BTW Joe was asking his staff when he can start holding the Senate hearings for her confirmation …
Didn’t take long for this very suggestion to be pushed by a left wing rag.
The Early Front-Runner for Breyer’s Supreme Court Seat – The Atlantic
“but nearly all of the Court watchers I interviewed for this story have their money on one in particular: Ketanji Brown Jackson.”
Maybe she’s read the Constitution?
Lol
Dims Bully their own
Shannon Bream
Replying to @ShannonBream
A bit more clarity. I’m told Justice Breyer had firmly decided on his own to retire and that an announcement was due very soon. And while it appears someone jumped the gun on that, better to characterize him as surprised by events today than “upset”.
How do you force someone to retire from a lifetime appointment?
Bully them. It’s been on going abuse by the Dims and their Lapdog media since Biden was installed.
Never once did they suggest RBG retire even given her poor health and very limited abilities.
she had benefit of a “feminist icon” cult following, ie. hence “the notorious RBG” nickname, so she was useful even at the her age. prior to today’s announcement, I’m willing to bet most of that same cult following didn’t even know who the F Breyer even is.
Well, at least it isn’t Kamala Harris.
Ted Cruz@tedcruz
Why are political operatives in the White House trying to bully Justice Breyer into retirement?
Why, Ted? As a “Squirrel!” to distract the voters from Biden’s disasters with Afghanistan, the border, the economy, and no doubt soon, Ukraine.
The MSM will pivot to SCOTUS by the evening news.
.
Geeez Ted….. the sun also comes up in the east.
My guess is Biden needed to change the landscape and offered Breyer and family something they could not refuse.
There is no change from Breyer to another liberal judge, of any color.
So let him have his Justice and let’s move forward with the real issues of the day.
The lever arm is the weak uniparty GOPe who allowed 1) Georgia to be taken, 2) acquiesce the “commission to pack SCOTUS” and then 3) allowed the radical judge to advance to the DC circuit. If Breyer did not leave, the commission would begin their havoc (they still will probably do some damage) and Roberts and the others would be sitting ducks while Mitch-the-B aligns his weakling R senators to stand aside and collect their millions as normal power and pay.
The senate is corrupt beyond comprehension. Roll back the tape and ask why did the strong conservative Jim Demint leave for a $1M sinecure at Heritage rather than go up against Mitch the B? Money weakens all of them once they get to DC.
Breyer didn’t know this was going to roll this way.
