that you preface it i appreciate that just wondering hypothetically theoretically would someone who was an attorney general of a large state and who served with many key senate votes be an attractive candidate to the president for an open supreme court i see what you did there peter but uh the president has every intention as he said before of running free of reelection and for running for reelection with uh vice president harris on the ticket as his partner uh but again i will just reiterate uh that uh i have nothing more to offer in terms of specifics or information on the reports this morning okay there chris so she's shooting it down for now i mean everything is always you know not happening until it's happening yeah look it's probably just fan fiction on my part watching too much west wing or whatever but you know i think i think it actually would be a very smart move uh if you think about it because also i as i believe in terms of replacing a vice president can happen through congress they have majorities right now you know they did this with replacing spiro agnew and that's how gerald ford eventually became president so it's not outside completely of the realm of possibility yeah i mean i think that part of why it's not gonna happen is because it would be so obvious what they were doing i'm just like this lady's really unpopular and we cannot have her on the ticket but we also can't take her off because of identity concerns so what are we gonna do all right let's just put her on the supreme court um kind of undermines you know any argument about the importance of supreme court et cetera if you're just using it to solve your temporary political problem um but the fact that these rumors have been swirling and this has been swirling around dc actually for months now tells you everything about what a dire political circumstance they are in right now you've got joe biden who is extremely unpopular but his vp who would be the logical choice to succeed him of course is even more unpopular and so the fact that they would even float this idea that this would even be circulating in the bloodstream of washington as a potential solution to solve their political ailments is quite telling in and of itself um but just you know let's not go crazy because i think it's very unlikely that ultimately they would go in that direction there are other names that are being circulated we can throw this chair sheet up on the screen um so biden poised to announce first wave of nominations to reset shape u.s court uh district court judge katanji brown jackson has just been appointed to a key appeals court people are saying that could signal that she is next in line to possibly be moved up to the supreme court um she's got a number of things going for she's young she's only NUMBER_TOKEN years old she's a former public defender and i haven't dug in deep on all of the you know rulings and where she stands on a variety of things but it seems like from what i have read so far she's pretty good on the issues i care most about which is labor unions she's issued some labor-friendly rulings she was actually a former clerk also too
