Federal Judges Are Retiring Now That Joe Biden Will Pick Their Replacements

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

From the article:
It’s not just Democrat-appointed judges, either.
...
In total, eight of these retiring judges were appointed by President Bill Clinton, and two were appointed by President Barack Obama; it would make sense that they’d want a Democratic president to fill their vacancies. But five of these judges were appointed by President George W. Bush.

1. Young, aggressive, anti-fascist, brilliant, and objective judges are what we need

to help counteract Trump and McConnell's neo-fascist Federalist Society appointments.

[Crazyleftie]

2. McConnell will just filibuster/block any appointees

[Buckeyeblue]

5. Filibuster on judges was eliminated

[Marius25]

8. Can't. There is no filibuster for judges anymore.

That's how McConnell forced through over 200 federal judges the past 4 years.

3. The most important judge, 84 year old Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer needs to retire before

the midterms.

4. I wish Alito and Thomas would retire.

6. Or die of entirely natural causes.

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

7. It's highly doubtful that Alito or Thomas will ever retire. But

Thomas is 72 years old, and Alito is 70, so there's some chance that one of them will die.

Maybe one of them will catch Covid.
