President Biden named Judge Ketanji Jackson to the Supreme Court. If confirmed, she would be the first Black woman to serve on the high court.
Jackson, 51, a U.S. appeals court judge in Washington, had been the front runner for the Supreme Court seat ever since Justice Stephen G. Breyer, 83, announced last month he was retiring.
Her appointment would add a strong, progressive voice to the court for decades to come, but it would not alter the court’s current ideological balance, which now skews 6-3 toward Republican-appointed justices.
