Biden nominates Jackson for US Supreme Court
In a historic move, President Biden said February 25 that he is nominating Ketanji Brown Jackson, currently a judge on the D.C.
Circuit Court of Appeals, as his choice for the U.S. Supreme Court. The selection would make Jackson the first Black woman to serve on the high court and fulfills a campaign promise Biden made two years ago to nominate a Black woman.Jackson, 51, is a favorite among progressives because of her background as a former public defender in D.C.
and former clerk for U.S. Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, whose seat she would fill after his announced retirement this year, if confirmed by the U.S.
Senate. I'm proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court. Currently serving on the U.S.
