US President Joe Biden reiterated his intention to nominate a black woman for the first time to serve on the Supreme Court - a milestone he called 'long overdue'.

Naming a black woman to the high court was a campaign promise made by Mr Biden.

The court's 6-3 conservative majority has shown an increasing willingness to reshape the law on contentious issues including abortion and gun rights. Justice Breyer spoke at the White House event of the importance of a diverse nation like the United States resolving its deep divisions by adhering to the rule of law.

Democrats, who hold a razor-thin Senate majority, aim to quickly confirm Mr Biden's pick in a time frame similar to the one-month process that the chamber's top Republican, Mitch McConnell, used in 2020 to confirm Mr Trump's third appointee, Amy Coney Barrett, according to a source familiar with the planning.
