President Biden To Nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson For Supreme Court
Newsy
Pending confirmation by the Senate, Jackson would fill the spot on the court that is being vacated by Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement.
President Joe Biden is nominating federal appeals court judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be the first Black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court.
In Jackson, the president delivers on a campaign promise to make the historic appointment and is out to further diversify a court that was made up entirely of White men for almost two centuries.
He has chosen an attorney who possesses the elite legal background of other high court justices, but who would also become the first former public defender on the high court.
