Justice Stephen Breyer to retire from Supreme Court, paving way for Biden appointment

Justice Stephen Breyer will step down from the Supreme Court at the end of the current term, according to people familiar with his thinking.

Breyer is one of the three remaining liberal justices, and his decision to retire after more than 27 years on the court allows President Joe Biden to appoint a successor who could serve for several decades and, in the short term, maintain the current 6-3 split between conservative and liberal justices.

At 83, Breyer is the court's oldest member. Liberal activists have urged him for months to retire while Democrats hold both the White House and the Senate. They contended that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg stayed too long despite her history of health problems and should have stepped down during the Obama administration.

Another flaw in the US Constitution. Nothing rational about the only lifetime job in government--let alone in country--given to a Justice.
 
my prediction is that 4 democrats, who are going to retire anyway, will fail to nominate a liberal justice quickly, forcing the rest of the senate to increase the seats on the supreme court. this will then spark a liberal rejuvenation to pack the court
 
I love a Supreme Court pick, and Biden needed this. I wonder who it will be.

My only guess is Garland, if Biden wants to appoint a new Attorney General, OR Ketanji Brown Jackson (a friend of mine) if Breyer gets to pick.
