Mainecat Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Mitch McConnell blocks Breyer from retiring https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theonion.com/mitch-mcconnell-blocks-justice-stephen-breyer-from-reti-1848427236/amp WASHINGTON—In a controversial political maneuver that sparked outrage from Democrats and their allies, sources confirmed Wednesday that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had blocked Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer from retiring. “It is the Senate’s constitutional right to act as a check on Stephen Breyer,” said McConnell, who blasted the 83-year-old justice’s plan to step down from the bench as contrary to the founding fathers’ vision that Supreme Court members would serve until the day they keeled over and died. “The radical Democrats are clearly getting desperate and see Stephen Breyer’s retirement as their only recourse. There is simply no way I can allow it. If Justice Breyer wants to retire, he’ll have to wait until 2024 and let the American people decide if he’s finished.” At press time, sources confirmed that McConnell had used an arcane legal precedent to prevent Breyer from purchasing a condominium in Florida. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted January 27, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Poor attempt at sarcasm. I expect better from the Onion. I mean it might be funny if McConnell was still the majority leader. Edited January 27, 2022 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtssrx Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 The Irony of this is the left is forcing his retirement because they know the are losing the senate and when that happens there will be no democrats added to the bench under Biden. Brier didn't announce yesterday Chuck Schumer announced it. Hilarious 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilarious That’s as crazy as me claiming a Republican judge killed himself during a Republican presidency so a Republican can pick his replacement. not sure where the Onion got the idea McConnell was an asshole?
