[gemini104104]

In order to deal with the seditious nature of un-American so-called republicans with tRump who lawlessly hacked in unqualified characters at SCOTUS to pose as so-called Justices, I hope serious consideration is undertaken to expand SCOTUS.

Expand the Supreme Court: Reps. Nadler, Johnson, and Jones and Senator Markey Introduce Legislation to Restore Justice and Democracy to Judicial System

Washington, D.C. - Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (NY-10), Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Hank Johnson (GA-04), Representative Mondaire Jones (NY-17), and Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) introduced the Judiciary Act of 2021 to expand the United States Supreme Court by adding four seats, creating a 13-justice Supreme Court. This bill would restore balance to the nation’s highest court after four years of norm-breaking actions by Republicans led to its current composition and greatly damaged the Court’s standing in the eyes of the American people. In order for the Court to fulfill its duty to deliver equal justice under the law, and protect the rights and well-being of millions of Americans, the legislation expands the Court to restore balance, integrity and independence to it."

Joe Biden Poised To Nominate First Black Woman To The Supreme Court

Judges Ketanji Brown Jackson, Leondra Kruger and Michelle Childs have been floated as potential replacements for retiring Justice Stephen Breyer.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring, which means President Joe Biden will get to fill his first seat on the high court — and appoint its first Black woman justice.

Biden has long vowed to make such a historic appointment.

Among the names that have been floated as his potential pick are Ketanji Brown Jackson, a U.S. appeals court judge in Washington, D.C.; Leondra Kruger, a justice on California’s Supreme Court; Michelle Childs, a U.S. district court judge in South Carolina; Leslie Abrams Gardner, a U.S. district judge in Georgia; civil rights attorney Sherrilyn Ifill; and even Vice President Kamala Harris.

Jackson, 51, is considered the most likely choice. She’s been a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit since June; previously, she had been a judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia since 2013. She is also a former public defender and previously clerked for Breyer.
