Prediction: Stephen Breyer retires at the end of the Court's term in June...

...allowing President Biden to appoint someone considerably younger.

1. Probably a good idea.

2. I hope so. I've said this before.

I LOVE Breyer but we can't take the risk due to his age. He should agree to retire as long as the Senate approves his replacement.

[Claustrum]

3. Definitely agree. After the loss of RBG's seat, I don't think anyone will risk the chance

of losing another Justice seat. Who knows if we will keep the house or the senate in the next mid term.

4. I think that's a lock.

I wouldn't be surprised if he announces it by the end of the month.

5. He couild wait a year if he wants, with Dems in control of the Senate

It just would have to happen before the next Senate is installed in January 2023, when the makeup of the Senate becomes uncertain. Republicans no longer have the power to deny Senate hearings to a SC nominee.

6. I certainly hope so!

[DarthDem]

7. Yes.

He's been a very strong Associate Justice and leaves behind a legacy of thoughtful jurisprudence and lasting influence. It's now time for him to retire.

8. You might be on to a real Happening.

Hope he takes Thomas with him.
