According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/01\/26\/supreme-court-justice-stephen- breyer-to-retire-giving-biden-a-chance-to-nominate-a-replacement.html\">reports<\/a> Wednesday, the 82-year-old justice is ready to retire at the end of this Supreme Court term.<\/p>\n<p>Breyer was first appointed to the court in 1994 by President Bill Clinton. He secured confirmation in the Democrat-controlled Senate by an 87-to-nine vote. Experts say the timing of Breyer\u2019s resignation will give Joe Biden an opportunity to replace him while Democrats still control the Senate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cAnd Justice Breyer didn\u2019t retire last term and is deciding to retire now while the Democrats still have control of the Senate,\u201d said Mark Sherman, a Supreme Court reporter for the Associated Press. \u201cI think that\u2019s the key point that Biden should be able to name his successor without too much trouble.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Among Breyer\u2019s most notable opinions from the bench include supporting expansion of abortion and upholding the Affordable Care Act.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2647252\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2647252\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2647252\" src=\"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ap_7812498c3095479e9d6b467554ed0329-e1643217150759.jpg\" alt=\"FILE - In this April 23, 2021, file photo, Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer sits during a group photo at the Supreme Court in Washington.

(Erin Schaff\/The New York Times via AP, Pool, File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki faced repeated questions about whether or not Kamala Harris would replace retiring left-wing Justice Stephen Breyer. A number of reporters asked Psaki Wednesday who Biden may consider as Breyer\u2019s replacement.<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press suggested Breyer could be replaced by Judges Ketanji Jackson, Michelle Childs or Leondra Kruger. However, some reporters speculate Harris may be seeking the role as well amid a low approval rating and being reportedly dissatisfied with her role at the White House.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m not going to speak to the reports of a Supreme Court justice retirement that hasn\u2019t been announced,\u201d Psaki told the press. \u201c\u2026The President has every intention, as he said before, of running for re-election and for running for re-election with Vice President Harris on the ticket as his partner. But again, I will just reiterate that I have nothing more to offer in terms of specifics or information on the reports this morning.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeterAlexander?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PeterAlexander<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pdoocy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@pdoocy<\/a> ask <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PressSec?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PressSec<\/a> if VP Kamala Harris is being considered for the Supreme Court. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The president has every intention, as he said before, of running for reelection, and for running for reelection with Vice President Harris on the ticket as his partner.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nBaRLb6pT3\">pic.twitter.com\/nBaRLb6pT3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CSPAN (@cspan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cspan\/status\/1486428455927484417?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 26, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Secretary Psaki only confirmed Biden plans to run for re-election with Harris on the ticket.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tv-host-to-challenge-chuck-schumers-senate-seat\/\">TV Host To Challenge Chuck Schumer\u2019s Senate Seat<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White House press secretary Jen Psaki speaks at a press briefing at the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2022.
