Biden Announces His Nominee for Supreme Court
[PJMedia] In a tweet on Friday, Joe Biden announced that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be his nominee to the Supreme Court.

Jackson is a judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia — the court where the Constitution goes to die.

The president will officially name Brown Jackson as an associate justice in a press conference later today.

Ketanji Brown Jackson would be the first black female Supreme Court justice in history and her nomination fulfills a campaign promise made by Joe Biden to name a woman of color to the high court.

Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail adds:
  • Friday marks two year anniversary of Biden's promise to nominate the first black woman to the high court

  • Jackson would become the sixth woman ever to serve on the Supreme Court if she is confirmed by the Senate

  • Democrats have set early April the goal for final confirmation, with plans to begin Judiciary Committee hearings toward the end of March

  • Liberals praised the decision, particularly happy with her background as a public defender - she would be the first public defender on the court

  • Republicans sounded a note of caution and promised a fair confirmation hearing
