Meet Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden's expected nominee for the Supreme Court.

President Joe Biden will name U.S. Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, replacing retiring Associate Justice Stephen Breyer with a jurist who would become the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court in its 233-year history, the White House said Friday.
"Since Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement, President Biden has conducted a rigorous process to identify his replacement," the White House said in a statement. "Today, President Biden will introduce Judge Jackson, an exceptionally qualified and historic nominee. Judge Jackson will also deliver remarks."
Jackson, a 51-year-old federal appeals court judge in Washington, D.C., has long been considered a frontrunner for the president’s first Supreme Court nomination. Because she was recently confirmed by the Senate with bipartisan support, her selection is a signal the White House is aiming for a drama-free confirmation – or, at the very least, a less messy fight than has been the case for recent nominees.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. -MLK
So why keep bringing up skin color then?
How about cradle her character instead
Not by the content of her character, but by the color of her skin. Joe Bidet
@JIVE Hermit Um Biden SPECIFICALLY said he will chose a candidate based on RACE and GENDER. Google it.
Non Foundational I’m sure…
Sad she’s there because of affirmative action not her professional career
Congratulations 🎉👍
If we could just get past how one looks and dig deep inside for what qualifications they have for. Unless looks are the only thing they have. 🤔
I don’t care about her color I do care about her corruption asking permission from the republicans No corruption to see here Every time you see this bipartisan b******* it’s nothing But a bowl of Hypocrisy Remember every Republican voted against Joe Biden’s bill back better
Why waste time! They’re not staying here!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh how “EMPOWERING” 🤣
Big joke
Joe Biden is letting us know that color of skin is important.
