» News Alert: Biden's Supreme Court pick is Ketanji Brown Jackson, people close to process say. She'd be the first Black woman in court’s history.
| Jackson, 51, a judge on the federal appeals court in D.C., will be nominated to replace retiring Justice Stephen G. Breyer, according to people briefed on the process. She would be the only former public defender on the court, joining its diminished liberal wing at a time when the court's 6-3 conservative majority is firmly in place. President Biden pledged during the presidential campaign to name a Black woman to the Supreme Court, and Jackson's nomination could energize Black voters. The Senate confirmation battle is likely to be hard-fought. |
