President Biden’s likely top 2 Supreme Court contenders:

1. DC Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (51):

Harvard; Harvard Law; clerked for Justice Stephen Breyer; DC federal trial judge (2013-21); elevated to DC Circuit a year ago; legal analysis like Justice Sonia Sotomayor
2. California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger (45):

Harvard; Yale Law; clerked for Justice John Paul Stevens; a former top Supreme Court counsel to President Obama; appointed to her court in 2015; reportedly declined to be Biden’s SG; legal analysis like Justice Elena Kagan
Thank you to @SandraSmithFox and @tracegallagher for having me join them today on @AmericaRpts to discuss the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer:
Thank you to @marthamaccallum for having me join @KatiePavlich and @TheJuanWilliams today on The Story on @FoxNews to discuss the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer:
Thank you to @seanspicer and @LyndsayMKeith for having me on @newsmax to discuss Justice Breyer’s retirement — and the (hilarious) discussion about potential replacements.

If President Biden appointed Kamala Harris to the Supreme Court, he’d quickly get 8 more vacancies to fill.
Correction:

President Biden elevated Judge Jackson to the DC Circuit 7 months ago (June 17, 2021).

Her experience as an appellate judge is thin.

While she wouldn’t get elevated to the Supreme Court until July 2022, if picked, she’d likely stop working on cases immediately.
California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger has served as an appellate judge for 7 years (instead of 7 months).

For 8 years before that, she served as a Supreme Court advocate for the Justice Department in Washington (Jackson served for 8 years as a DC federal trial judge).

.@ossoff likes to parade himself around as a golden child for reform around whether Members of Congress should own stock, but come on.

According to his latest financial disclosure, he owns MILLIONS in Apple stock.
Technically, he put his stocks in a blind trust, so technically he might not know exactly how much Apple stock he owns on any given day.

But we know, and he knows, that he likely still owns millions in Apple stock.
How do we know?

Because his blind-trust friends probably won’t want to stick him with a HUGE tax bill by selling all that stock.

And by the way, it should be pretty clear to him on tax day (and us, if he is willing to disclose his return) whether they did or not.

Democrats used COVID as their pretext for Democrat politicians to unilaterally--and illegally--"amend" election laws.

They mass-mailed live ballots to outdated voter lists.

Significantly reduced signature verification.

And made it difficult for election observers to observe.
Now they're lying about "assaults on democracy," when Republicans simply want to return to pre-COVID election rules.

Democrat politicians use Black Americans, pretending they don't have the wherewithal to get an ID and follow the same election rules as everyone else.

Nonsense.

The Supreme Covidians are (very) upset at my sacrilegious tweets.

(Because no one reads Slate, I’ll be kind and promote Dahlia Lithwick’s diary post.)

1. Yes, “the science changed”: Omicron is a (much) weaker variant than Delta.

2. Yes, 100% COVID theater.

(I also said all Justices are vaccinated and boosted, they all test before court arguments, so do advocates, and 2 Justices took off their masks after their masked entry.)
Fact Check: Mostly True.

(Much-less-dangerous) Omicron spike is real.

Dear Reporters and Other Leftwing Partisans:

I clearly warned you that @NinaTotenberg’s reporting was false.

Before too many of you gleefully regurgitated it, to smear Gorsuch.

Looking forward to the retractions, for the (very) few of you who have any integrity.
