Because, “bipartisanship”, right?

The Democratic party really is incredible, isn’t it?

It seems as though with each passing day, just when you think they can’t possibly surprise you in either their weakness or their ability to absolutely humiliate themselves all for the sake of capitulating to the GOP, Democrats always manage to do so. Of course, there is arguably no one who better personifies the rot and the weakness of the Democratic party for the last forty years than President Joe Biden, and recent reports seem to give us yet another reminder.

As most have heard by now, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has decided to retire this summer, leaving President Biden plenty of time to pick a nominee in a move that some have argued was in an attempt to depoliticize the process. While some have said that he absolutely resented the calls to retire last year, like most of us the man can obviously read the tea leaves, and seems to understand that Democrats will likely lose not just in 2022 but 2024 as well, and he has no choice if he wants to preserve any liberal sway on the incredibly politicized, heavily conservative bench.

So naturally, who does Biden discuss supreme court picks with?
