<p>In the wake of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer announcing his decision to retire at the end of the Court&#8217;s term, progressives rushed to Twitter to demand that President Joe Biden follow through on his presidential campaign promise to select SCOTUS&#8217; first black female justice. The raced-base decision has already been hailed &#8220;historic&#8221; if it were to happen.</p>
<p>As pointed out by Planned Parenthood California&#8217;s Brandon Richards, during a 2020 presidential debate, then-candidate Biden pledged that he would  &#8220;appoint the first black woman to the Court&#8221; while noting that &#8220;it’s required that [black females] have representation now, it’s long overdue.&#8221;</p>

<p>As soon as word spread that Breyer would be leaving a vacancy on the court, former Hillary Clinton presidential campaign staffer Brian Fallon opined that &#8220;Biden will get a chance to make history by putting the first Black woman on SCOTUS, and he will have many highly qualified candidates to choose from.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;One of those candidates, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, was supported by all 50 Dems and three Republicans for DC Circuit last year,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>Mystal, a progressive commentator, predicted that Biden would be hamstrung by moderate Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), but supported by key GOP votes of Senators Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).</p>
<p>&#8220;My hot take is that Kentaji Brown Jackson is the pick and she gets Romney and Murkowski and basically obviates whatever BS Manchin and Sinema are planning to pull,&#8221; he tweeted.</p>

<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-justice-stephen-breyer-to-retire-from-scotus-giving-biden-a-court-pick">reported</a>, Breyer has said he did not want to retire when his potential replacement would be essentially the ideological opposite of his decision making and view of the U.S. Constitution:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Speaking of a conversation with Justice Antonin Scalia on the subject of retirement, Justice Breyer recalled Scalia’s comments that, “‘I don’t want somebody appointed who will just reverse everything I’ve done for the last 25 years.” Breyer then noted that this would “inevitably be in the psychology” of his decision regarding retirement.</em></p>
<p><em>“I don’t think I’m going to stay there till I die — hope not,” Justice Breyer explained.</em></p>
<p><em>“There are a lot of blurred things there, and there are many considerations,” he said of a retirement decision. “They form a whole. I’ll make a decision.”</em></p></blockquote>
