The signs are that Justice Stephen Breyer won’t be retiring from the U.S. Supreme Court anytime soon. (See here.) But, if he does, David Carrillo and Brandon Stracener — respectively, the executive director and a senior research fellow at the California Constitution Center at Berkeley Law — in The Recorder put in a plug for President Biden to nominate California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger to fill the vacancy.
