Ketanji Brown Jackson Favourite For SCOTUS

President Biden has pledged to name a nominee for the Supreme Court by the end of the month.

• Biden expects his nomination for receive bipartisan support in the Senate. He said he’s taken a deep dive on four potential nominees and whomever he picks ‘…will get a vote from Republican side for the following reason -- I'm not looking to make an ideological choice here, I'm looking for someone to replace Judge Breyer with the same kind of capacity Judge Breyer had…’
• Following a meeting of Democratic Senate Judiciary Committee members and Biden, Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said they talked about Biden picking someone ‘in the model of Justice Breyer. Someone who will write stirring, compelling, lasting arguments.’
• Following these remarks analysts have tipped Ketanji Brown Jackson as the frontrunner for nomination. A Jackson nomination is likely to provide a smooth senate nomination process and avoid alienating progressives in the Democratic caucus who had warned against an overly centrist nomination.
