AP Sources: Justice Stephen Breyer to Retire; Biden to Fill Vacancy
I predict: Ketanji Brown Jackson
Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit replaced Merrick Garland last June.
(51) year old Obama Appointee.
In 1996, Jackson married Patrick G. Jackson, a surgeon and the twin brother of former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's brother-in-law.
Possible appointment to U.S. Supreme Court
On February 26, 2016, the National Law Journal reported that Obama administration officials were vetting Jackson as a potential nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.[65] In March 2016, The Washington Post[66] and the Associated Press[67] confirmed that information; Reuters reported that Jackson was one of five candidates interviewed as a potential nominee for the vacancy.[68]
It has been speculated that President Joe Biden will nominate Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court now that he has the opportunity to select a new justice during the 117th United States Congress.[69][70][71][72] Biden had pledged during the 2020 United States presidential election campaign to appoint a "black woman" to the court, should a vacancy occur.[73] Jackson's appointment to the D.C. Circuit, considered to be the second most influential federal court in the United States, behind only the Supreme Court, was viewed as preparation for a potential promotion to the Supreme Court. Justice Stephen Breyer's reported intention to retire in 2022 fueled further speculation that President Biden would name her as his replacement.[74]
