MORE: Who is potential Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson? And the inside story behind her name Born in D.C. but raised in Miami, Jackson comes from an elite legal pedigree as a graduate of Harvard Law School but also has experience representing everyday Americans in the legal system as a federal public defender.She would be the first federal public defender to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court and the first justice since Thurgood Marshall to have criminal defense experience.
The president is impressed by her"experience in roles at all levels of the justice system, her character and her legal brilliance," White House spokesman Andrew Bates said this month. On the bench, her jurisprudence has widely been considered mainstream and measured, legal scholars say. She authored 600 opinions while on the U.S. District Court for D.C.; only 12 were reversed, according to data compiled by the Alliance for Justice, a progressive legal advocacy group.
Jackson's former colleagues and associates describe her approach as"Breyer-esque," qualities Biden has explicitly sought to replicate on the bench: moderate, pragmatic, and a consensus-builder. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said this week that the nominee will be"respectfully treated and thoroughly vetted." Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Sunday that his party will not engage in"personal slime attacks" but will scrutinize the candidate's record.
WTF do these people get these names

The Bitcoin community contains some of the most insightful & interesting people you'll likely ever listen too I recommend you to DM Candicestewartt she has been resourceful and doing amazingly great. I make huge profit weekly off trading and top staking offers in the ecosystem.
If she qualified that’s great! But she’ll never get respect because Biden said he’s only picking a Black Female. Should just shut up and pick when fits the criteria! The criteria shouldn’t be race or gender if we want to move past!
It's a shame it's 2022 & No LGBTQ, No Native Americans, or No Asian American Has ever been appointed to Supreme Court! We need representation, NOW!
Judge Jackson has 8.9 years of prior judicial experience. That’s more than four current Justices (Thomas, Roberts, Kagan, & Barrett) had *combined.
Congrats, I suppose? I just hope she is more qualified than the other 2 black women she ran against.
