Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson eyed as potential replacement to Justice Stephen Breyer

The 83-year-old liberal justice will retire at the end of the term after serving for 28 years.With the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer at the end of the current term, one name keeps rising to the top of the list of potential replacements: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Other top contenders include Judge Leondra Kruger, of the California Supreme Court; Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, of the US District Court Georgia; and Judge J. Michelle Childs, of the US District Court South Carolina. The 51-year-old also has some bipartisan appeal. She was confirmed 53-44 to her current seat in June 2021, drawing votes from three Republicans -- Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska.

"Senator, I've never said anything about the Supreme Court being broken," Jackson said in response."Again, I'm not going to comment on the structure, the size, the functioning even, of the Supreme Court."

Why doesn’t he appoint the best qualified candidate? 🤔 🤦🏿‍♂️

I believe the Democrats undermined democracy again, by forcing a sitting Supreme Court Judge to retire, for no reason of impeachment, when it should be his choice, not threats and intimidation’s, like banana republic countries.

Biden will not get to nominate anyone to the bench. Trump will be the one and Lt. Gov Winsome Sears of VA will get to take Breyer's chair.

she is a bad choice,

Why haven't Indigenous 1st Nation judges been considered for higher courts including the Supreme Court? After all, the US Constitution was based on at least five tribes treaties nativenews_net CherokeeNation ChoctawnationOK CreeNation_news SeminoleNation_ navajotimes AP

If she is chosen, it won't be because she is black. It will be because she is capable and because of the 'content of her character'. ABC Australia learn to report about people without emphasising the colour of their skin. You have yet a long way to go in that regard!

WE MUST INSIST THAT JUDGES, OR ANYONE ARE PUT INTO OFFICE ETC. BASED ON RACE OR COLOR !!!

Is she radical enough for the democrats?

Great to see TheDemocrats continue their fight against discrimination based on race and gender of a person.

Well Is she black?

Can we just get someone Fair I don't care what color they are what nationality they just have to believe in the Constitution is that too much to ask

Let's see blacks represent less than 13% of the population, but now our 2/9 of the court. Meanwhile, the hispanic population has ballooned, yet only represent 1/9 and there are no Asians or other groups represented. Boy BLM has politicians buffaloed.

Biden is racist selecting candidates on the color of their skin and gender but not on who is better qualified. It could be a black woman and that would be wonderful we would appreciate an honest effort to appear to be looking for best qualified

Where all the white women?

The Judge has not left office and you are already replacing him. Get a grip.

We are all equal no matter what your color is, your gender is, or what your religion is, We Are All God's Children, and no one should be treated less and the other.

Why’s it got to be about race?

Since when is the color of your skin the only credentials that are needed to get a job? 🤷‍♂️

Qasim is sharing his dreams of the end times, and the calamities to befall mankind, as he had been instructed in his dreams by Prophet Muhammad SAW and Allah SWT. Many of the events & predictions in Qasim’s dreams have already come true.

She's great. I hope he nominates her tomorrow. No need for delay.

Excellent choice

The people like Anita Hill more.

All the racists saying that “they should be chosen on qualifications” so black can’t be talented and qualified? Republicans got nothing to say after ramming Barrett to the bench.

Whoever is the replacement should be picked based on their qualifications and not their color/gender. We need someone who will interpret the law, not make them. That’s the job of the legislative branch.

Oops! It should be Sifill_LDF

👨🏿🤳🏿We need a specialist in CivilRights and someone willing to act against these Nationalist agendas being pushed in Red states. POTUS VP

All these whites outing themselves in the comments 😂

smh

The right will be calling her a radical for certain, the reply, is it maybe a complexion issue for the GOP?

Is she cool or conservative?

After all she's been through, we must unite to demand that pootus nominate Aunt Jemima to scootus!! Plus, I heard she's very sweet!
