There are reports Liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will announce his intention to retire

The retirement is expected late 2022, with the judge choosing to step down at the end of the court’s current term in June.

Breyer has been a Supreme Court justice for more than 27 years.

The retirement will of course allow President Joe Biden to nominate a Liberal successor.

Democrats have been pressuring Breyer to retire for quite some time now… with the 83-year-old being the oldest judge on the bench.

While his replacement will not shift the court’s current 6-3 split between conservative and liberal justices. Breyer’s successor could serve for decades.

The president has declined to comment on the matter until a formal decision has been made by Justice Breyer.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
