President Joe Biden said he plans to nominate a black woman by the end of February to replace retiring US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. Potential nominees include Ketanji Brown Jackson, a former Breyer law clerk confirmed by the Senate last June to serve on an influential US appeals court. Ketanji Brown is a jurist who has served as a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals since 2021. Nominating a black women to the supreme court is a big step for racial progress. Biden decision had many criticism.
