Fox News
If Justice Breyer waited until next year or longer to retire he would run the serious risk that Republicans would make it exceedingly difficult for President Biden to place a nominee on the court who is the kind of liberal justice that Breyer would like to see as his own replacement.
Whomever Biden selects, Republicans should tread carefully.
So, when word leaked on Wednesday that Breyer would retire at the end of this term in late June or early July, it was not all that surprising. His timing was politically propitious — intentionally so.
