The retirement of Stephen Breyer sets the stage for biden to follow up on a campaign promise and nominate a Liberal successor.

Biden says he’s made no decision except one and it’s one that it “Long overdue”

What happens when Breyer steps down?

Breyer is expected to retire later this year, with the judge choosing to step down at the end of the court’s current term in June.

Democrats have been pressuring Breyer to retire for quite some time now… with the 83-year-old being the oldest judge on the bench.

This means Breyer’s successor could serve for decades.

White House press secretary confirmed the President’s commitment to nominate a Black woman.

This will mark major progress, so who is the top contender to fill the spot?

It will definitely prompt a growing push from advocacy groups for Biden to fulfil what they see as long overdue.

Black women constitute just about 3 percent of the federal due-dishery and no Black woman has ever been nominated to the Supreme Court

Nothing has been set in stone yet, however Ketanji Brown Jackson, who sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals is widely seen as a top prospect for Biden’s first Supreme Court nomination.

She previously clerked for Breyer and was named on Obama’s Supreme Court shortlist back in 2016.

The diversity of Biden’ appointments could set the stage for more diverse Supreme Court nominees in the future
