(DCNF)—CNN Political Commentator Bakari Sellars said Friday that President Joe Biden should nominate Vice President Kamala Harris to the Supreme Court, saying the move would cause conservatives to “go crazy.”
Some Democrats have asked Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down before Trump enters office so that she can be replaced by the Biden-Harris administration, citing her age (70) and her diabetes, Politico reported. Sellars said that Democrats fear a repeat of when Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in office during the Trump administration and was replaced by Amy Coney Barrett.
“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,” Sellars told “CNN News Central” co-host John Berman.

“What does this mean for the dynamic of the court? The court is 6-3 now. If we are able to replace it with a Biden justice, it will still be 6-3,” Sellars continued. “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.”
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley cited the possibility of Associate Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas retiring to allow Trump to nominate justices with similar views Wednesday.
“I hope Joe Biden makes the next 10 weeks as consequential as he can,” Sellars said. “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.”
“Are you floating … 7:39 AM on the East Coast, did Bakari Sellars just float Vice President Kamala Harris as a potential Supreme Court nominee?” Berman asked, prompting Sellars to respond, “Not only am I floating it, I want to stir up everything.”
