a NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN majority right now for the conservatives and it will remain a NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN majority once breyer is replaced with whoever joe biden nominates i'm not sure i would even want to be part of a court where my opinion would almost literally never matter if you had a NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN conservative court with justice roberts who has sided with liberals in the past it leaves the possibility that when you put in a black woman to be part of some votes that will have an impact and make a difference there is no chance of that for as long as this is a NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN court now i'm not literally saying whoever is nominated should turn it down but i could understand why a nominee might think you know it might be better for my legacy not to be nominated right now uh just just a thought that i'm having and of course if the person is young enough they could be appointed they could be confirmed now in this kind of futile NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN situation and down the line circumstances change and they end up being part of some impactful decisions last thing republicans are also now pulling this uh is joe biden going to get rid of the problematic kamala harris by putting her on the court here's peter alexander asking about that there ginsberg none of that you can share i'm not going to detail internal planning from here no okay then let me ask you a couple other questions is there any scenario in which the president would select his vice president kamala harris for the supreme court again i'm not going to speak to any considerations preparations lists and as we've stated earlier and you heard the president say it is there's a long history of supreme court justices determining when uh they may retire and then so because gensake didn't rule it out then peter ducey followed up about the same thing and then it becomes a story that uh it's like a runaway train talked about isn't an initial package okay thank you good thank you when you were asked about the vice president possibly being selected as a supreme court nominee you said you're not going to speak to any considerations does that mean she is being considered again peter i'm not going to speak to the reports of a supreme court justice retirement that hasn't been announced so um and then fox news was talking about this and it took on a life of its own absolute last thing on this democrats might still screw it up and there is a tweet that exemplifies this from jennifer habercorn quoting senator dianne feinstein apparently senator dianne feinstein doesn't see a rush to confirm a briar replacement saying with six months until justice breyer departs the court the senate judiciary committee will have ample time to hold hearings on president biden's nominee i really hope that they don't take all of that time because that's exactly how you get into a situation that allows republicans to say now it's rushed now it's right before an election we can't do this don't do it democrats please don't screw it up one of our sponsors is athletic greens which just makes it really easy for me to get the vitamins and minerals that
