US Circuit Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is expected to shoot to the top of the short list of Supreme Court nominees after the impending retirement of Justice Breyer.

a Black woman on the Supreme Court for the first time in U.S. history. Jackson is seen in Democratic circles as a short-lister — if not a front-runner — for the nomination.

The Senate confirmed Jackson, a Harvard Law School graduate, to the D.C. Circuit in June by a vote of 53-44, with the support of all 50 Democratic-voting senators and three Republicans: Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Democrats need only 50 Senate votes to confirm a new justice, and the recent record of party unity behind Jackson could work in her favor when the White House considers its options. She was already seen as a future Supreme Court prospect when the Senate voted on her nomination in June and Republicans were unable to generate enough controversy to sink her nomination.

I cannot support a nominee with one of those foolish first names those people make up.

How is choosing someone based on race not racist? 🤣🤣🤣

... to save the constitution which was written down at the time of slavery!?!? Some one help me please to understand America*n!!

If I advertise for a job and it says 'Black women only. Everybody else automatically disqualified.' Will I be violating federal and state anti-discrimination laws? AskingForAFriend

Democrat reviewing judges for SC: Ideological leftist that wants to do our bidding - CHECK Are we pandering to our base by following their identity politics - CHECK Ok, there’s our nominee!

Surprise Surprise.

Remember the great words of Martin Luther King, 'I dream that a person will be judged not by the color of his skin.' According to Baidyn's logic, why is he planning a black judge, for an honest trial of whites? This is Nazi logic. Be careful.

DIVERSITY is America's strength. We should all freely & willingly come together & realize that DIVERSITY! is the critical factor for preserving our values and is the embodiment of the idea of America-- equal treatment, equal opportunity & equal justice for all. Strive together!

There getting her in asap so they can mandate the vaccineskill which have dead baby tissue and grapheneoxide which is nanotechnology and also shreds organs all which I confirmed today in ER with Dr's and a nurse who said 90% of patients are the vaxxed with severe problems pray

Congratulations, you are the best person for the job from a pool of 6% of the total population. You may be the best choice or maybe you are filling a quota. We'll never know because of racist politics pushed by grandpa Joe and the left.

I'm sure she's very capable but how Biden selected Kamala will always make me wonder.

Doesn’t matter. It’s a conservative court so while POTUS acted like Harvard and excluded Asians even from consideration even though we’ve never been on the Court, he doesn’t have the ’s. The racist Harvard case is going to lose. Thank you Mitch!

Good Luck Sister!!!

African American ✔️ Female ✔️ Qualified ✔️ Contender✔️

She is better than Justice Thomas and his wife currently serving on the court.

Kamala Harris. Obama for VP. Obama & Buttigieg in 2024. Buttigieg & ? in 2032. 😍 BarackObama

I can't take her seriously with that hair!

Doesn't even change the balance of the bench. Pure identity politics at best and acceptable racism at worst.

Lawyer For Big Oil Tells Court That Lawsuits Threaten National SecurityAn attorney for Big Oil told a federal appeals court this week that suits against oil companies are a security threat to the US. Sounds like an extortion attempt. Blaming oil producers for the co2 in the air. More fud lawsuits. When evidence is mankind is responsible. Another city going bankrupt and acting like the mafia. Just tell them to stop burning it... There's plenty that oil is useful for, floating on water and all.
