WASHINGTON — President Biden said on Thursday that he had thoroughly vetted four potential Supreme Court nominees so far, all of whom he believes could draw the support of Republican senators during the nomination process.
During an interview with Lester Holt of NBC News, Mr. Biden said that he wanted his nominee, who he has promised will be a Black woman, to have a similar view of the law to Justice Stephen G. Breyer, the most senior of the court’s liberal members, who announced his retirement last month.
“I’m looking for someone to replace Judge Breyer with the same kind of capacity Judge Breyer had,” Mr. Biden said, adding that he is looking for a candidate “with an open mind, who understands the Constitution, interprets in a way that is consistent with the mainstream interpretation of the Constitution.”
Mr. Biden was echoing language from Senate Republicans who have publicly called for the president to nominate a “mainstream” candidate that can preserve the public’s faith that the court can operate in a nonpartisan manner, despite critics who say that Mr. Biden’s predecessor, Donald J. Trump, did the opposite with his nominees. Mr. Biden, who served in the Senate for 36 years, has said repeatedly that he wants the advice and “consent” of the Senate as he deliberates, despite the reality that he may receive scant support from the other side of the aisle [....]

It depends which Republican camp gives him support. Liz Cheney, Mitch McConnell, Rob Portman or the MAGA crowd.

"Safe, legal &... impossible" - while we chase "defund the police" down, the courts have taken a sledgehammer to abortion protections, often by sleight of hand/impenetrable barriers that don't quite ban abortion but make it in practice impossible.

Will Republicans back a Biden candidate? likely only if it's a fuckwad totally opposed to abortion as the requirement for that support. But hey, let's focus on the rights of rioters and gun-carrying murderers or just those into massive repetitive arrests to make sure they don't have to post bail & are back on the street in minimal time - it's gaining such support from the mainstream public.
