Inside Biden's decision to pick Ketanji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court
CNN
President Joe Biden's choice of Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court came about like so many of his big decisions: after a long process, with a lot of wavering and discussion, and ultimately landing right where he had been headed from the outset.
This is how Biden works. He starts with a strong gut feeling, but then he reads, and asks for more to read. He talks it through, seemingly endlessly, repeatedly picking up the phone to consult. He'll think about it some more. Then maybe just one more call.
Eventually he makes up his mind, guided by a sense of fate and poetry that longtime friends and advisers have witnessed time and time again.
