President Joe Biden plans to nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, to fill the Supreme Court seat following the retirement of Stephen Breyer, according to the Associated Press and other news outlets.
If confirmed, Jackson, 51, would be the first Black woman to serve on the court, fulfilling a pledge that Biden made during his presidential campaign. She has been a leading contender to be elevated to the high court. Last year, three Senate Republicans joining with Democrats to confirm her to the influential D.C. circuit.
The news of Jackson’s nomination briefly shifted the focus away from the unfolding crisis in Ukraine on major news networks, while ABC News broke in with a special report, anchored by George Stephanopoulos.
An official announcement is expected at the White House later on Friday.
Serving as a district judge from 2013 to 2021, Jackson ruled on a number of high profile cases, including in 2019, when she ruled that the White House could not ignore a congressional subpoena for the testimony of then-White House counsel Don McGahn. “Presidents are not kings,” she wrote.
Jackson served as a law clerk for Breyer. She received a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1996, and was supervising editor of Harvard-Radcliffe College in 1992.
In her confirmation hearing to the Court of Appeals last year, Jackson denied that she ruled in the McGahn case with an eye toward an eventual nomination to the Supreme Court.
“I know very well what my obligations are, what my duties are, not to rule with partisan advantage in mind, not to tailor or craft my decisions in order to try to gain influence or do anything of the sort,” she said, per The Washington Post.

In his successful 2020 White House bid, candidate Joe Biden campaigned as a unifier trying to save the soul of America. Last night, in his first State of the Union address, the 46th President of the United States doubled down on that unity theme.
low approval ratings — even among people who previously voted for him in 2020 — Biden attempted to use his speech as a reset for his presidency, decrying Russia and its power-hungry President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine while offering praise and support for the Ukrainian resistance, and seeking to clarify his (and by extension, his party’s) positions on various domestic issues by calling for programs and bills that would make Americans’ lives easier, fight inflation, get the country back to “normal” following a two-year interruption caused by the pandemic, and calling on states and cities to deal with rising crime rates by fully funding police using money appropriated by the American Rescue Plan.But as he went through the litany of various domestic concerns, Biden seemingly hit on many of the issues and promises he had run on as a candidate for president, even though much of his priorities have been killed in the U.S. Senate, due to the inability to gain 60 votes to overcome the silent filibuster (exacerbated by the refusal of traditionalists to change Senate rules to either eliminate or reduce the 60-vote threshold, or require the minority to actively filibuster pieces of legislation, thereby calling attention to their opposition) as well as political posturing by conservative Democrats like Sens.
