Justice Breyer is retiring from the Supreme Court. We need a strong, pro-democracy pick to protect and expand voting rights and free and fair elections.

With Breyer stepping down, here are your names:
Ketanji Brown Jackson: D.C. Circuit
Leondra Kruger: California Supreme Court
Michelle Childs: South Carolina District Court— Elie Mystal (@ElieNYC) January 26, 2022
Senate sources also say that the Senate can act on the Biden nominee before Justice Stephen Breyer officially steps down from the court. So Democrats expect to hold hearings and votes before Breyer officially steps aside at the end of his term.

A Supreme Court pick is a bonus.
Inflation needs to come down by 2% in 2022
The FED will take care of that by raising interest rates and selling T-bonds.
Real wages need to increase by 4% in 2022.
That can happen if Congress passes a bill increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour.
61% of Republicans are “enthusiastic” about their party’s performance.
39% of Democrats are “enthusiastic” about their party’s performance.
Passing a voting rights bill, increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour, getting the Biden Build Back Better bill through the Senate, and picking a supreme court justice will (or would) go a long way in growing enthusiasm among Democrats.
President Joe Biden should be focused on making the lives of average Americans better, and not cooking up wars to get them killed in.
