Could there be more to the timing of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement announcement?

Fox News host Harris Faulkner wondered if Vice President Kamala Harris may be considered as a candidate to replace the retiring justice. George Washington University Law professor Jonathan Turley joined the “Outnumbered” hosts to discuss the possibility.

According to The Daily Wire:

“The timing here is rather conspicuous,” Turley said, noting that the far left had begin calling for Breyer’s resignation months ago, using social media and even billboards to drive their point home.

“The liberals want to put a younger person on the court,” Turley explained. “That type of thing isn’t done, it wasn’t necessary but is also incredibly disrespectful so this is not the way that this man should have retired with this sort of mob baying at his heels simply because they want a younger person.”

Turley went on to note the irony that the Supreme Court had only recently agreed to take up two Affirmative Action cases with regard to race-based college admissions policies — and President Joe Biden promised on the campaign trail that he would only consider a black woman if he had the chance to nominate a new justice.

Then Faulkner speculated that based on Biden’s previous rhetoric and Kamala’s lack of success in the White House if she could be considered to replace Justice Breyer.

“So this person has to be a woman, she has to be black and she has to be younger. Anyone thinking what I’m thinking? They don’t know what to do with Kamala Harris in the White House right now. I can’t be the only person seeing this,” Faulkner replied. “And you’ve read, I’m sure that you have, too, Kayleigh, because we chatted about it. We’ve been reading that maybe something like this could happen with the vice president — he runs again, it’s someone else. Look, I prefer to drink my tea rather than read read the tea leaves, but when Jonathan Turley puts out the information of a young, black and female, it’s hard not to see, at least she makes the list?”
