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 can see the family resemblance to Paul Ryan 🤪
“There are too many women on the court already. We female persons are not programed for leadership generally.”
That’s very objective of you WVNan - I applaud you for being ground in reality.
And neither are they programmed for rationality.
Overwhelmingly, women are ruled by emotions. It’s not bashing women, just a simple reality that even most women would agree with.
Oh, come on, what does have to do with picking a Supreme?
What’s important is that the person have the proper pigmentation, the correct thingie between the legs, that she’s a relative of Ryan, AND most importantly that she’s a leftist.
Why does this all feels so planned? From booting out their SCJ Breyer to this debacle Ukrainian crap? It feels unnaturally timed to push through this radical POS to the supreme court. They are trying to pull the wool over the American people’s eyes so that we won’t hear how damaging this POS BLM racist record is! The quicker they confirm her under the dark of night the less the people will know her background. ....nothing surprises me anymore. It’s just too coincidental!
I cannot wait for Biden to lie and lie about her like he did with Clarence Thomas....
