A CNN commentator floated the idea of Joe Biden nominating Kamala Harris to the U.S. Supreme Court before he exits office in January. Legal analyst and attorney Bakari Sanders suggested Harris could replace 70-year-old liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor. WATCH: HAHAHAHA now they want Biden to put Harris on the Supreme Court before he leaves: pic.twitter.com/2KuWE5L1wm — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) November 8, 2024 Per Newsweek: Harris was San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general before being elected senator, and then vice president. While electing an attorney with no judicial experience to the court is unusual, it is not unprecedented. President Barack Obama nominated Elena Kagan as a Supreme Court justice, even though she had never been a judge. Chief Justice John Roberts served for two years on the Washington, D.C., appeals court before he was nominated. When four party-aligned independents are considered, Democrats currently have a 51-49 majority in the Senate, which votes by simple majority on presidential nominations to the Supreme Court. Republicans just won a Senate majority in the November 5 elections, but the new senators will not take their seats until January, allowing Biden a narrow window to nominate a Supreme Court justice if Sotomayor agrees to retire. Want to blow Republicans’ minds? Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor retires. President Biden appoints Kamala Harris to Sotomayor’s vacancy with a lame duck Democratic senate majority.

The Supreme Court skews conservative with a 6-3 majority and Sotomayor is one of only three Democrat justices serving, alongside Elena Kagan and Biden appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson. Biden selected Jackson in much the same way he selected his vice president, based on race and gender. A new appointee would have to be confirmed by the Senate, which will only be a Democrat majority until the end of Biden’s term. The Tuesday election flipped the Senate to Republican control, which will take effect with the new term. In the last year of his term, Obama attempted to appoint a Supreme Court Justice to replace the late Antonin Scalia. He appointed Merrick Garland in March 2016, but the then-Republican-led Senate under current Minority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to move forward with the confirmation, instead banking on a GOP victory during that election season. After Trump was elected in 2016, he appointed Neil Gorsuch to replace Scalia, who was confirmed by the Senate. He also was able to appoint Brett Kavanaugh, who took his seat on the bench after extremely contentious confirmation hearings, as well as Amy Coney Barrett. Those three joined the three conservative justices already on the bench, Clarence Thomas, a George H.W. Bush appointee, and John Roberts and Samuel Alito, both George W. Bush appointees. Garland, who had been snubbed by the Senate GOP, was later made the attorney general under Joe Biden.

Those of us who understand Donald Trump aren’t surprised by what RFK Jr. says in this clip with Tucker Carlson. Trump isn’t about politics. He does want to be a great president who carves out a different path for Americans. Donald J. Trump wants a revolution.

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly planning to ramp up the U.S. pressure campaign on Iran by enacting crippling sanctions on the Islamic regime immediately after taking office. The Wall Street Journal reported that the plans include “drastically increasing sanctions” on the country and killing its oil industry as part of an “aggressive strategy to undercut Tehran’s support of violent Mideast proxies and its nuclear program.” Trump is expected to move rapidly to cut off Iran’s oil revenue, including by going after “foreign ports and traders who handle Iranian oil.” The report said that Trump’s new “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran will also factor in the fact that the regime has repeatedly tried to assassinate him and some of his top officials from his first administration. “People tend to take that stuff personally,” said Mick Mulroy, a top Pentagon official during Trump’s first term. “If he’s going to be hawkish on any particular country, designated major adversaries, it’s Iran.” Prosecutors unsealed an indictment this week against Farhad Shakeri, 51, of Iran, on multiple charges, including murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, money laundering conspiracy, conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, and conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and sanctions against the Government of Iran. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Prosecutors said that he hired two individuals to kill an Iranian dissident and two Jewish Americans. However, with the elections approaching, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) told Shakeri to pause his efforts to kill the dissident and the two Jewish Americans because they wanted him to focus on killing Trump. “SHAKERI indicated to IRGC Official-1 that this would cost a ‘huge’ amount of money,” the indictment said. “In response, IRGC Official-1 said that ‘we have already spent a lot of money [s]o the money’s not an issue,’ which SHAKERI understood to mean that the IRGC previously had spent a significant sum of money on efforts to murder Victim-4 and was willing to continue spending a lot of money in its attempt to procure Victim-4’s assassination.” During a meeting just one month ago with the IRGC official, Shakeri was instructed to have a plan in place to assassinate Trump within a week and that if he could not do it, Iran would put the plan on hold because they believed Trump “would lose the election and, afterward, it would be easier to assassinate.”

The New York Times is under fire after the paper seemingly downplayed the attack on Jews in Amsterdam Thursday night, calling it “soccer violence.” Organized gangs reportedly assaulted Jews leaving a soccer game where Maccabi Tel Aviv played. Videos posted to social media show assailants hunting, beating, and injuring Israelis while shouting “Free Palestine” and curses in Arabic.  Hi @nytimes, We fixed it for you: pic.twitter.com/SjcLqHATcL — David Saranga (@DavidSaranga) November 8, 2024 The Times dismissed the attack — which Israeli officials are calling a pogrom — as “violence tied to a soccer game.” David Saranga, an Israeli diplomat, led the charge against the paper, stating that their headline should change from “Violence Tied to Soccer Game Prompts Dozens of Arrests in Amsterdam” to “Violent Antisemitic Pogrom Prompts Israeli Rescue Mission To Amsterdam.” The Times later changed its headline to “Israeli soccer fans injured in Amsterdam Attacks That Authorities Call Antisemitic.” Saranga also suggested the subhead read, “The police said 57 people were arrested after terrorists lynch Jews who were in Amsterdam to watch Israeli Team. The Attacks were driven by antisemitism.” The Times later changed their subhead to “Dutch officials said that people had attacked Israeli fans as tensions flared around a soccer match.” On X, several users attacked the Times for the headline, accusing the outlet of lying.

Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon called the attack a “pogrom.” “‘Globalize the intifada’ was not just a slogan for these terrorist supporters,” Danon told Fox News. “I urge the Dutch government to help all Israelis and Jewish people immediately. It’s time to respond with force against these barbaric rioters.” President Joe Biden condemned the attacks Friday afternoon, calling them “despicable.”  “The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted,” Biden wrote in a statement on X. “We’ve been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable.”
