Biden's real Supreme Court choice: Bridge-builder or truth-teller?
CNN
Whoever President Joe Biden nominates to the Supreme Court is likely to spend at least the first decade, and possibly much more, of her tenure on the losing side of many key rulings decided by the court's conservative, Republican-appointed majority.
That stark prospect, though rarely discussed, looms as perhaps the most important factor that will shape the term of Biden's selection, who he has promised will be the first African American woman named to the high court. And it's stirring debate in liberal legal circles about the judicial approach the President should be seeking in his nominee. At its essence, the choice reduces to a single question: Should Biden pick a conciliatory "bridge-builder" or a confrontational "truth-teller"?
In the days and weeks leading up Hunter Biden’s trial on felony gun charges, President Joe Biden made little attempt to distance himself from his son. Instead, Hunter Biden was seen at the White House and in Delaware at his father’s side amid what the president’s allies acknowledge is a difficult moment for both men.
