NC Gov. Roy Cooper no longer in the running for Kamala Harris' VP; Biden pushes for SCOTUS changes

The Democratic National Convention is now three weeks away and the likely nominee, Kamala Harris, still needs to pick a running mate. We know now that North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is no longer in the running. He was among a handful of candidates, including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, being vetted for the job. In a statement, Gov. Cooper wrote: "I was honored to be considered for this role. This just wasn't the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket." Meanwhile, changes could be coming to the U.S. Supreme Court. Before leaving office, President Joe Biden is pushing to add term limits and a code of conduct for justices. ABC's Perry Russom has more.

How about he try that rule with congress first, they're who the people have wanted to have term limits.

[jeffbortz]

The justices do have a term limit whenever they decide they want to get off the bench or die that's the Constitution

[chrissorensen]

So….he saw a sinking ship and thought…

I would just like to take this opportunity to clear one thing m'kay. Republicans have been attacking my record as border czar. M'kay and even though I was in charge of the border, that is a border on Southern border and I was its czar.
M'kay.
I was never a border czar.

Now pick me who got zero votes in the primaries.

I don’t think you can just change the Supreme Court because there are more conservatives than liberals. Also I don’t think you can expand the court in number of justices to suit a party’s preference.

[GTAPlayer]

Roy Cooper was the dullest of the bunch anyway

[tonysuri]

Elderly man with poor memory has forgotten how many people he put in prison specially the blacks and now he’s trying to change the justice system in his favor, dying man. Democratic party just limited his turn short to four years because he’s unfit for the office from the last four years.

[ThatitJack]

I wouldn’t want to be attached to anything with her name on it either personally

[Jilla]

Cooper can’t leave Crazy Robinson in charge of NC !

[EmilyPrice-hz]

Thank goodness Roy didn’t leave nc with mark!
