In a historic first, President Joe Biden will nominate the first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
If confirmed, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, would become the second-youngest justice serving on our highest court.
Biden will make the announcement on Friday, marking the first Supreme Court pick of his presidency after Justice Stephen Breyer, 83, announced his retirement last month.
Brown Jackson has faced heightened scrutiny over a judicial record that includes high-profile rulings later overruled by higher courts.
While Democrats applauded the decision, Sen. Ted Cruz suggested to Fox News' Bill Hemmer that Biden's decision-making process was, essentially, discrimination.
“What the president said is that only African American women are eligible for this slot, that 94% of Americans are ineligible,” Cruz said. “The way Biden ought to do it is to say ‘I'm going to look for the best justice,' interview a lot of people, and if he happens to nominate a justice who was an African American woman, then great.”
Biden had promised to make the pick by the end of February. The announcement comes ahead of his State of the Union address to Congress next week, as his approval ratings continue to slide, including among Democrats.
Sleepy Joe was instructed to do this for future Democratic votes.
Biden is accumulating quite a list of failures for his upcoming book’s after he either leaves or gets booted out of office. This man makes Al Capone look like a “Rookie”. Biden and Hunter make out like a smart crook with Putin taking out Ukraine and maybe some evidence getting destroyed in the process.
What a Failure our country looks like on the world stage now! Soros and Obama must be proud..
Excellent comment.
Let’s see… did this nice lady get selected because she was of the right hue or of the right character?
I wonder which is more important for our nation?
No matter, brandon will get milk and cookies before nappy time regardless, his Habra know best.
Disgust leftist pandering to the unqualified Simians!
That figures Biden & crumbs haven’t done anything right, so don’t expect anyone of a any stature to shine on any matter.Dumb dumb to dumb dumb!
