Joe Biden and the White House are worried that efforts to push liberal U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer into retirement could backfire.

“Biden and his top advisors, including White House chief of staff Ron Klain, think some of those efforts are ‘tactically stupid,’ and could end up backfiring by making Breyer more determined to stay on the court. They also worry the open lobbying could further the de-legitimization and politicization of the court,” Axios reported.

“The President’s view is that any considerations about potential retirements are solely and entirely up to justices themselves,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates told Axios. Their concern is what happened when the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg refused to retire and then died when a Republican, Donald Trump, was in office and able to nominate someone to fill her seat.

Conservatives currently have a 6-3 advantage on the Supreme Court.

Democrats fear that if Breyer does not retire and Republicans win back the White House in 2024, they will be able to fill the potential vacancy, which would give them a massive 7-2 majority on the Court.

Beyond that, Breyer has said he does not have any retirement plans right now. Breyer, who has been on the court for 27 years, said there are two prevailing factors in any retirement decision he makes.

“Primarily, of course, health. Second, the court,” he said back in August.

In April, Breyer gave a speech and attempted to downplay the role of politics on the court. In the speech, he warned against the dangers of packing the court, as some Democrats have suggested.

“If the public sees judges as ‘politicians in robes,’ its confidence in the courts, and in the rule of law itself, can only diminish, diminishing the court’s power, including its power to act as a ‘check’ on the other branches,” the justice said. “The court’s decision in the 2000 presidential election case, Bush v. Gore, is often referred to as an example of its favoritism of conservative causes,” he said. “But the court did not hear or decide cases that affected the political disagreements arising out of the 2020 [Trump v. Biden] election.”

Earlier this year, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that Biden will let Breyer decide when he’s ready to retire. “He believes that’s a decision Justice Breyer will make when he decides it’s time to no longer serve on the Supreme Court,” Psaki said.

The statement comes after Biden announced last Friday that he would be forming a commission that will perform a 180-day study of potential changes to the Supreme Court, including court-packing and setting term limits for justices.

“The Commission’s purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals,” the White House said in a statement.

“The topics it will examine include the genesis of the reform debate; the Court’s role in the Constitutional system; the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court’s case selection, rules, and practices,” the White House added.

From your post to God's ears. I discovered tonight that part of my family took the moderna jab. I didn't know and didn't suspect that they were going to do this. I'm a bit frightened about where this will lead. I pray that there's a fix.

Apparently being censored on Twitter and FB etc prepares us for being spied on and censored by our own gov't

I recently had an 86 yr old aunt ask me about some small purple spots on the inside of her upper arm. Looked like bruising but she said she hadn't had any incidents that would cause this. Is it possible that it is/was from the J&J jab she got a couple months ago?

If you want to avoid future pandemics, shut down the research labs and put Fauci in the unemployment line. Better still, behind bars!

Thanks for the post / link. When I look at these sites, I typically scroll to the section called "conclusion" or "summary". Sad to see this site didn't have either of those. Congrats to you for being able to understand it.

Great list. Given my severe lack of science brain, how can I find the source for these facts? Something that I might understand?

This reminds me of when a movie that I like comes on TV. Even though I've seen it before, I can't help but want to watch it again. There goes 30+ minutes of my time. Thanks for posting.

Please tell me this is current and not a future plan. Does this mean the ballot I cast in MN was also watermarked?

Aug 2020 Harvey Risch, MD, PhD, is Professor of Epidemiology at the renowned Yale University School of Public Health.

“As Professor of Epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, I have authored more than 300 peer-reviewed publications and currently hold leadership positions on the editorial boards of several leading journals. I’m used to advocating positions within the medical establishment, so I was disconcerted to find that in the midst of a crisis, I had to fight for a treatment that was fully supported by the data, but for reasons unrelated to a proper understanding of the science, was sidelined. As a result, tens of thousands of COVID-19 patients are dying needlessly. Fortunately, the situation can be reversed easily and quickly. I’m talking, of course, about the drug hydroxychloroquine.”
