President Joe Biden has made his choice to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court, according to multiple media reports. Biden will announce today that he will nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to the court.
If confirmed, Jackson would become the first Black woman to serve on the court. She is 51. That would make her the second-youngest justice on the current court. Justice Amy Coney Barrett turned 50 in January.
She would also be the first justice since Thurgood Marshall who served as a longtime defense lawyer. Breyer was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1994. Jackson would not change the court’s current 6-to-3 conservative supermajority.
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan is a relative by marriage. Jackson’s husband, Patrick Jackson, is the twin brother of Ryan’s brother-in-law William Jackson.
Ryan testified on Brown’s behalf when she was nominated to the district court in 2012 saying:
“Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji’s intellect, for her character, for her integrity is unequivocal.
“She’s an amazing person, and I favorably recommend her consideration.
“We’re family, by marriage.
“Her brother and sister-in-law, who are my brother and sister-in-law, William and Dana Jackson, are here with us as well today,” Ryan said.

I hope she has Maxine Waters-like stupidity, and she makes Sotomayor cringe at being on a court with her. Automatic Leftist votes are the same anyway.
Well isnt this going to meet the wondermous trifecta of estrogen filled leftist flavors on the court. Mama Cass, unwise Latina and a new sacred toned addition to the supreme hen house. Because leftist women’s will make our country great. Puke 🤮 me a green river.
HER POLITICS SHOULD BE IRRELEVANT... FOLLOW THE LAW!!!
PERIOD....
That’s the problem, modern (not classical) liberals do NOT follow the law or the constitution.
What I want to know is if she is a Christian. A born-again, evangelical church going Christian.
I cannot recall the last time the Supreme Court had a Bible believing Christian.
Q. In terms of their votes on the SC what was the only difference between the leftist women and the retiring Stephen Breyer?
A. Hair.
There are too many women on the court already. We female persons are not programed for leadership generally.
Only eight months and she gets a promotion?
Compare:
ACB -- 3 years
Kavanaugh -- 11.5 years
Neil Gorsuch -- 10 years
Merrick Garland -- 24 Years (Nomination not succesful)
Sotomayor -- 11 years
Alito -- 16 years
Roberts -- 2.5 years
Thomas -- 1.5 years
Breyer -- 14 years
Kagan did not serve on the Court of Appeals
Comment of the day from a Zero Hedge commenter:
“I like my Supreme Court Justice nominees the way I like my coffee.
Black and bitter.”
;-)
Since America is going full Naxxi, a blood test is needed to prove she does have any of that inferior white blood.
I guess I’m having trouble with the concept, that my brother in law’s relatives, are my relatives. I didn’t know anyone considered your in law’s family members to be related to you as well.
It usually isn’t worded correctly as it was in this article - stating “by marriage”. You’re right, we wouldn’t consider an inlaw’s relatives to be OUR relatives...
It’s the same thing as saying Newsome is Pelosi’s nephew.
As I understand it, Pelosi’s husband’s brother was married to Newsome’s aunt - at one time. No relation to good old Nance but you’ll still see people claiming a relationship there.
Untangle that!!
Keep voting for the R
No matter how bad they are
Rah Rah Romney
Hail Hail Haley
Another consequence of failing to uphold the Constitution.
Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.
2 conservatives, 4 flip floppers and 3 communists do not make a conservative court.
PRyan is still cozying up to his 2012 “debate” with rival Biden.
When are we going to be done with first this, first that? Answer: never
But can pedo-joe say the ghetto name correctly?
Yeah, I was not going to go into that much detail.
At this point, nominating a lizard would be his best choice thus far. An affirmative-action candidate is a de-facto sub-par pick.
They’re hammering thar point to make it more appealing to the Rinos. After all how can a “relative” of “conservative” Paul Ryan not be a good pick.
It’s all calculated - she’ll get 90 votes.
