President JoeBiden on Friday nominated federal Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, which could make her the first black woman on the high court's bench.
"I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court," Biden tweeted Friday morning."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."
"I am truly humbled by the extraordinary honor of this nomination, and I am especially grateful for the care that you have taken in discharging your constitutional duty in service of our democracy with all that is going on in the world today," Jackson said at a press conference with Biden Friday afternoon.
Before she became a judge, Jackson worked as a public defender representing indigent criminal defendants and served as vice chairwoman on the U.S. Sentencing Commission. She studied government at Harvard University, graduating in 1992, and is an alumna of Harvard Law School. Biden spent months before Breyer's retirement announcement reviewing biographies of Supreme Court candidates. He aims to confirm Jackson at a similar pace to consideration of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was confirmed 35 days after her nomination by Trump in 2020.
The Biden administration has tapped former Democratic Sen. Doug Jones to oversee operations for introducing his selection to senators and coordinating meetings to prepare her for confirmation to the highest court.
