Kamala Harris got embarrassed with her loss. But she may not be done.
Because U.S. Supreme Court news about Kamala Harris will leave your jaw on the floor.
The Democrats and its allies in the media are looking for ways to convince their base that they aren’t just throwing in the towel after the way they got walloped on election night on all fronts. There’s truly not much to say or do though when you lose the White House, the U.S. House, and the U.S. Senate all in one night.
Some Democrat operatives are calling for drastic measures. Some measures so drastic that they will cause serious uproar all over the country. These Democrat operatives are calling for subversion of the election cycle by calling on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to start messing with the U.S. Supreme Court in the remaining weeks they have in office.
CNN Commentator Bakari Sellers Suggests Kamala Harris for Supreme Court Nomination
CNN Political Commentator Bakari Sellers made waves on Friday by suggesting that President Joe Biden should nominate Vice President Kamala Harris to the U.S. Supreme Court. Sellers argued that such a move would spark outrage among conservatives and be a bold step in reshaping the court’s balance.
His remarks were made during an appearance on CNN News Central with co-host John Berman. The idea comes amid ongoing discussions within the Democratic Party about potential changes to the Supreme Court, particularly regarding the future of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is 70-years-old and has diabetes. Some Democrats have expressed concern that Sotomayor may step down before the end of Biden’s term, allowing him to appoint a replacement and prevent a repeat of the contentious 2020 situation when the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was replaced by conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett during the Trump administration.
Sellers acknowledged Sotomayor’s impressive tenure on the court but suggested that Democrats might prefer her to retire sooner rather than later to avoid the uncertainty of an eventual replacement by a future Republican president. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that the court does not shift too far to the right, especially given the current conservative-leaning 6-3 majority.
“Justice Sotomayor has been more than able justice. I know she may be having some personal issues that she contends with while serving on the bench. But, you know, I don’t want Justice Sotomayor to be another Ruth Bader Ginsburg in terms of staying too long,” Sellers told Berman.
Sellers explained that while the current court’s ideological makeup is 6-3 in favor of conservatives, replacing Sotomayor with a more liberal justice would preserve that ratio. However, he also warned that if other conservative justices, such as Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, retire in the coming years, the balance could shift to a 7-2 conservative majority.
“The possibility of Justice Sotomayor having to resign or retire in the next four years is extremely high. You couple that with Alito and Clarence Thomas, then that means you go from a 6-3 court to 7-2 court in terms of conservative versus liberal,” Sellers said.
In a bold statement, Sellers then floated the idea of nominating Vice President Kamala Harris to the Supreme Court, a move that would certainly stir up political tensions. Sellers argued that Harris, with her legal background, would be a strong and qualified candidate, and the backlash from Republicans would be inevitable but not a reason to shy away from the nomination.
“I hope Joe Biden makes the next 10 weeks as consequential as he can,” Sellers remarked. “I don’t care about drawing outside the lines of what Republicans may think about it, this is within your purview you can do it, and you should do it. One more thing, John, you have a hell of a vice president who has a legal pedigree to sit on the Supreme Court and let Republicans go crazy.”
Berman, clearly taken aback by the suggestion, responded, “Did Bakari Sellers just float Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential Supreme Court nominee?” To which Sellers responded with a smile, “Not only am I floating it, I want to stir up everything.”
The Democrats are clearly reeling and are unable to truly deal with their loss with grace. Instead of looking inward, they are looking for ways to stir up the pot like floating the idea of Kamala Harris being nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court bench.
That move would be political su*cide and would mark the end of the Democrat Party forever. There would be no explaining to the American people why you would do such a thing after they just resoundingly told Kamala Harris they want her nowhere near power here in the United States government.
The Democrats in the U.S. Senate would be signing their political career resignation with a vote for Kamala Harris to be confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court bench. The American people would be utterly appalled and disgusted by such a move.
The real problem with these comments is the fact that they are completely serious. As Mr. Bakari Sellers said himself, he’s completely serious about Kamala Harris being nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court Bench. He wants to shake things up just for the sake of shaking things up, as opposed to helping address the concerns of the American people.
Maybe, just maybe, that’s the reason the Democrats lost in the first place. They are extremely far removed from the average American while they live in their radical, extremist, Leftist la-la-land.
