President Biden announces Supreme Court nomination Ketanji Brown Jackson | USA Today

President Joe Biden will name 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, according to a source familiar with the process.

The source spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of the internal process.

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, her selection may be a signal the White House is aiming for a bipartisan process – or, at the very least, a less messy fight than has been the case for recent nominees.

  1. Martin Luther King once said, “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.” Biden then speaks, “Therefore, I am picking only a BLACK WOMAN, no one else will be considered”. Its hard to believe in this day and age that they still pick people by color/gender rather than the BEST qualified. Qualified does not equal BEST qualified even though you people like to equate it does. That is the definition of racism!!!!!
