US President Joe Biden vows to name black woman to Supreme Court by end of February

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.

Obviously in the US racism still exists. There is no difference between people of skin colour as long as they have the experience and education to occupy these important posts.Its exactly. the same here.
