Justice Breyer is Dangling in a Social Margin

The Supreme Court is a virtual intellectual ghetto in which the justices are locked up from society and are thus protected against all sorts of social movements, pandemics, and other illnesses and sicknesses like ideological campaigns, advertising bombardments, and simple human and humane considerations. They are only dealing with the constitution, mind you, if you have a mind of course. They are only dangling non-modifiers in the margin of real-life and the comfort of the upper class.

 

Retirement in March. Hurry up! If all goes well, his successor, they say a black woman, will be elected and confirmed by the Vice-President herself. Provided all fifty Democrat Senators accept to vote as one unified body. I doubt many Republican Senators, if any, would dare to vote for a black woman appointed by Biden seen by the Republicans as a communist traitor for their mid-term elections. And during that time the ex-First Lady is failing to sell some of her "things" for a fortune. She is going to starve this month, I guess.

 

And it all went well and in April 2022 the successor was confirmed. She will be black as expected but she was confirmed on the razor’s edge, or nearly so, with only three Republican Senators voting for her, 53 to 47. And do not believe them when they say it was because she is known to be too lenient with this or that case or type of cases. They were reluctant to get a black woman into the Supreme Court. With her in the court, the ideological balance will not change, but she will be heard a lot more than anyone else, including the Justice she replaces, because she will write dissents that will be extremely strong on basic arguments about the dignity of people mistreated and manhandled by the police, by violent citizens, if citizens at all, and by all the bureaucratic institutions, even schools where school boards are today manipulated by some parents who force the boards into some consensus meaning narrow-minded bigotry on sex, gender, slavery, black history, and even antisemitic decisions they impose by blackmailing the boards with the menace of public opinion if they were “obliged” to go to the press if their positions were not approved, or at least tolerated, which amounts to the same blind alley or cul-de-sac.
