'Brainless phony': Internet rips Biden for questioning whether Trump will fill Supreme Court vacancies with 'anybody who has a brain'

DETROIT, MICHIGAN: President Joe Biden suggested that Donald Trump might not appoint a US Supreme Court justice with a "brain" if re-elected.

Speaking at the NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner in Detroit on Sunday, May 19, the octogenarian asked the audience if they thought Trump would fill the hypothetical vacancies in the apex court with "anybody who has a brain," according to The Hill.

The incumbent seeking re-election attacked the soon-to-be official GOP nominee over his choice of justices to the high court, whose decision he eventually considered unfavorable.

During his presidential term, Trump appointed three conservative justices to the nine-bench Supreme Court.

Joe Biden slams Donald Trump's selection of justices

Biden highlighted the Supreme Court's ruling to overturn Roe v Wade in 2022, which was made possible by Trump's appointed justices.

"He brags about getting Roe v Wade overturned," the president said about his opponent. "He not only denies reproductive freedom but worsens the mortality rate for Black moms, who are nearly three times more likely to die from pregnancy complications than a white woman."

He further argued the former president encouraged voter suppression and election subversion and asked his crowd whom they thought Trump would nominate to the bench, citing the ex-POTUS' pledge to choose someone who would "judge justly."

"Let me ask you, if he's re-elected, who do you think you'll put on a Supreme Court? Do you think he'll put anybody who has a brain?" Biden asked. "Folks, look: As Dr. King said, give us the ballot. We'll put judges on the bench who will judge justly and do mercy."

Biden urged the re-election of him and Vice President Kamala Harris for a second term, promising to help the NAACP, sign the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act and reinstate Roe v Wade.

Trump often expressed pride in his pick of Supreme Court justices who ruled on some crucial legal decisions, including Roe v Wade. The former president had boasted about his role in restricting access to abortion, a primary agenda of the Republican Party.

The 45th president, currently under trial in New York for his hush-money case, is leading the polls with a slight margin against his Democratic opponent. Trump has 49% voter support, while Biden holds only 43%, as per the latest CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
