Super Court Justice Stephen Breyer is set to announce his retirement, avoiding a Ruth Bader Ginsburg mistake, and giving President Biden the change to nominate his successor. Let’s see how his replacement goes, and if a Merrick Garland’s show is repeated by the Elephants in the house.

@prologic Supreme Court Justices are only nominated by a US President. They sit at the apex of the justice system. So a President will nominate for Supreme Court Justice the candidate that adheres to the things its political party believes. There is much involved, but race, women rights, workers rights, the environment, just to mention a few, are at stake. President Obama nominated one, Garland, and republicans stalled—because they had majority—and he wasn’t elected, effectively giving the picking choice to Trump (he nominated two, because Justice Ruth died whilst he was President).
If you really want to read more about it, this short entry is simple, and to the point.
