AND
:Here’s who Biden might tap to replace Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court
BY Bruce Golding
President Biden pledged to pick a black woman as his first nominee to the US Supreme Court — and White House discussions are reportedly focused on three, including one he already elevated to an influential appeals court.
US Circuit Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, US District Court Judge J. Michelle Childs and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger are the early front-runners to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, four sources familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Jackson, 51, was a Washington, DC, federal judge until Biden tapped her to replace Merrick Garland, now the US attorney general, on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
That court often serves as a steppingstone to the Supreme Court, and Brown’s confirmation in June was widely seen as a sign she would top Biden’s shortlist for any vacancies on the high court.

In January, Brown was among three judges who ruled against former President Donald Trump in his bid to withhold documents from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol.
Brown also ruled in 2019 that former White House counsel Don McGahn had to testify at a hearing that led to Trump’s first impeachment by the House, a decision that was later overturned.
Childs, 55, has been a federal judge in South Carolina since 2010 and in December was nominated by Biden for a seat on the DC Court of Appeals.

Childs is reportedly favored by US Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), who endorsed Biden ahead of his state’s crucial Democratic primary election, which is widely credited with turning the tide in Biden’s favor and helping him win the nomination.

Kruger, 45, would be the youngest nominee since Justice Clarence Thomas was put forth at age 43 by former President George H.W. Bush in 1991.
As a top lawyer in the US Solicitor General’s Office, Kruger argued 12 cases before the Supreme Court on behalf of the federal government and as a judge, she wrote a precedent-reversing ruling that required a warrant be obtained before cops search a vehicle, according to Bloomberg.

Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, sister of Stacey Abrams of Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. is also being reviewed for a potential Supreme Court nomination.
There was also speculation Wednesday that Biden might nominate embattled Vice President Kamala Harris, but he refused to discuss Breyer’s retirement with reporters, saying, “Let him make whatever statement he’s going to make and I’ll be happy to talk about it later.”
WILL IT BE COMPETENCE OVER COLOR AND GENDER? ALL WOULD SEEM TO HAVE BOTH. YOU DECIDE.
++++++++++++++
THIS IS A SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD LETTER I SENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE. I DO NOT EXPECT I WILL RECEIVE A STRAIGHT ANSWER TO MY FOUR QUESTIONS:
DEAR PRESIDENT BIDEN: JANUARY 27,2022
RATHER THAN HAVE A STAFFER WRITE ME A BS RESPONSE THANKING ME FOR WRITING, I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS TO THESE SIMPLE QUESTIONS:
1)WHY ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT UKRAINE'S BORDER AND NOT OUR OWN?
2) ACCORDING TO YOUR OATH, AS PRESDENT, YOU PROMISED TO PROTECT AND DEFEND AMERICA FROM ENEMIES, DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN. I SUBMIT ILLEGALS ENTERING OUR COUNTRY AND IGNORING AND ENCOURAGING SUCH IS TREASONOUS AND AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE.
3) THESE ILLEGALS ENDANGER LAWFUL CITIZENS THROUGH CRIME, DRUGS AND THEIR CUTLTURAL ATTITUDE/CONDUCT WHICH DOES NOT ACCORD WITH OUR OWN, SUCH AS, SAY, BEHAVIOUR PERMITTED IN AFGHANISTAN BUT AGAINST THE LAW IN AMERICA.
4) SPEAKING OF LAW, WHAT MESSAGE DOES YOUR ILLEGAL POLICIES SEND THAT WE CARE NOT A WHIFF ABOUT BREAKING OUR OWN LAWS?
THE FAVOR OF AN HONEST REPLY WOULD BE REFRESHING.
RESPECTfULLY, RICHARD BERKOWITZ

Thank you for contacting the Biden-Harris Administration. Sincerely, The Office of Presidential Correspondence +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PRAGER UNIVERSITY: Dennis weighs in on the latest crisis between Russia and Ukraine by posing important questions: Who should serve as the world’s policeman? Does the world even need a policeman? Why and how should America intervene? Dennis provides several examples of why the world would be much worse for everyone if America never intervened. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ THE FED HAS MESSAGED THAT IN MARCH THEY WILL BEGIN THEIR WITHDRAWAL FROM QUANTITATIVE EASING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR NCREASE IN RATES, .IN ESSENCE THHEY WILL TAKE OFF WITH A FUL LOAD OF FUEL AND AS THEY PROGRESS THEY WILL DISCREETLY DISPENSE FUEL ALONG THE WAY. HISTORICALLY, SELDOM HAVE THEY ACCOM[PLISHED THE FLIGHT WITHOUT SOME BUMPS AND, WORSE, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY CRASHED A FEW TIMES. iT IS A DELICATE EFFORT TO BALANCE EVENTS THAT ARE LARGELY OUT OF THEIR CONTROL. PARTICULARLY WHEN THE INFLATION RATE IS HISTORICALLY HIGH, LIKELY TO GO HIGHER AND IS IMPACTED BY SUPPLY ISSUES , A NASTY PANDEMIC AND AN ADMNISTRATION WHICH HAS SWUNG OUT EVERYTIME THEY HAVE COME TO BAT. OH, I ALSO FORGOT A LOOMING WAR WHICH COULD BEGIN AT ANY TIME ONCE THE GROUND HARDENS AND TANKS CAN MOVE FORWARD. MARKETS, LIKE SHEEP, PREFER LOWER HURDLES AND THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY THEY ARE VOLATILE AND WILL REMAIN SO UNTIL INVESTORS GET A SKY WITH LESS TROUBLING CURRENTS AND STORM CLOUDS.. BUCKLE UP. +++++++++++++++++++++++ |
