Respond to of 454517 (Ketani Brown Jackson) This is the woman that will likely be appointed to the Supreme Court because Joe Biden said he would only choose a black woman......RACIST hearings in progress now: In early 2016, the Obama administration officials vetted Jackson as a potential nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia . [71] [72] [73] Jackson was one of five candidates interviewed as a potential nominee for the vacancy. [74] In early 2022, news outlets speculated that Biden would nominate Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court to fill the seat vacated by Stephen Breyer. [75] [76] [77] [78] Biden pledged during the 2020 United States presidential election campaign to appoint a Black woman to the court, should a vacancy occur. [75] Jackson's appointment to the D.C. Circuit , considered to be the second most influential federal court in the United States, behind only the Supreme Court, was viewed as preparation for a potential promotion to the Supreme Court. [79] Jackson's potential nomination to the Supreme Court has been supported by civil rights and liberal advocacy organizations. [12] The Washington Post wrote that Jackson's experience as a public defender "has endeared her to the more liberal base of the Democratic Party". [80] While her supporters have touted her history as a public defender as an asset, during her 2021 confirmation hearing, Republicans tried to cast her public defender work as a liability. [21] On February 25, 2022, Biden announced that Jackson was his nominee for associate justice of the Supreme Court. [4] On February 28, 2022, her nomination was sent to the Senate. [81] Her nomination is pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee .
