A federal judge seen as a possible future U.S. Supreme Court pick by President Joe Biden cleared a key hurdle on Thursday in her nomination to an influential appellate court, winning approval in a Senate committee despite Republican opposition.
The Democratic-led Senate Judiciary Committee advanced Washington-based U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on a 13-9 vote.
Biden has promised to name a black woman - an historic first - to the Supreme Court if a vacancy arises, and Jackson is widely seen as a potential pick down the line. Jackson is among the most prominent Black women in the federal judiciary and, at age 50, is also relatively young.
All those in opposition to here were Republicans, with two - Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn - voting with Democrats to approve the nomination.
Jackson's nomination now heads for a final confirmation vote in the full Senate, which is narrowly controlled by Democrats.

“...with two - Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn - voting with Democrats to approve the nomination.”
Not surprised.
And this is what is wrong with the RINO’s, they should JUST SAY NO to Everything Joe and the Ho want or do.

We really do have to stop re-electing Assistant Democrats.
RINOscum politicians are as evil as Demonicrats.
“Ketanji”??

Not Puddin Pop Joe.
When we’re in charge, we get our justice choices. When they’re in charge, they get their justice charges. That’s the way it works. To change things we need to win elections.
I doubt they were Biden’s picks. Probably Obama, Susan Rice, or Valjar picks.
Jackson is related by marriage to the former U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan. Her husband is the twin brother of Ryan's brother-in-law. (from Wikipedia)
Payback for schtupping Trump.
