Biden to nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson to be first Black woman to sit on Supreme Court
Another promise kept by our President. ​

President Joe Biden has selected Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee to the Supreme Court, setting in motion a historic confirmation process for the first Black woman to sit on the highest court in the nation.
Biden will deliver remarks on Friday afternoon announcing the selection, the White House said. CNN first reported Biden's decision.
Jackson, 51, currently sits on DC's federal appellate court and had been considered the front-runner for the vacancy since Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement.
She received and accepted Biden's offer in a call Thursday night, a source familiar with the decision told CNN, but was present for DC Circuit Court hearings Friday morning.

Biden met with Jackson for her Supreme Court interview earlier this month, a senior administration official said, in a meeting that the White House managed to keep secret.
For more than a year, the President had familiarized himself with her work, reading many of her opinions and other writings, along with those of other contenders.
But the official said Biden also was impressed by her life story, including her rise from federal public defender to federal appellate judge -- and her upbringing as the daughter of two public school teachers and administrators.
"President Biden sought a candidate with exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character and unwavering dedication to the rule of law," the senior official said.

Yeah, that same approach is working out so well at the VP level.

Great choice. She'll be on the court by the fall.

No change to the court’s ideological balance. Resume looks fine. Barring some big surprise, confirmation should go smoothly. Looks like she’s got big tits.

Not something that was possible under the circumstances.

I guess it really was a thorough vetting.

Jackson always seemed like the most likely pick for this seat. A pretty conventional resume for a Court pick in this day and age, down to her history of having clerked for Breyer. And while Breyer hasn't been any sort of leader on the Court, a person who can tailor just the sort of narrow opinion to bring five justices together to his point of view, the truth is that's a skill set that's not going to be necessary for a left-of-center justice at any time in the foreseeable future. I hope she likes writing dissents.
