Biden to nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court

[bobabode]

"President Biden will nominate federal judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace retiring Justice Stephen G. Breyer, a historic choice that fulfills the president’s pledge to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court and would make Jackson, 51, just the third African American in the high court’s 233-year history.

A former public defender, Jackson served as a trial court judge in Washington for eight years before Biden elevated her last year to the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She was confirmed to that court after a relatively uncontentious Senate hearing and with the backing of three Republican lawmakers.

“I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court,” Biden wrote on Twitter on Friday as he announced his selection. “Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and will be an exceptional Justice.”" WP

Will the GOP try to delay her approval long enough in order to influence the mid-terms in their direction?

The libertarians seem to like her.

Sounds like she's GOP friendly. I think the Dems found someone that the GOP likes more than Trump. At least enough for confirmation.

I like that she's a libertarian.

It's about goddamned time.

Off-topic; Faux News seems to have abandoned Trump.

A curious twist.
