Biden Nominates Ketanji Brown Jackson to Replace Breyer on Supreme Court

On Feb 25, President Biden announced that he will nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court.

Jackson is currently a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. When she worked as a private practice attorney, Jackson represented pro-abortion advocacy groups, including NARAL Pro-Choice America.

National Right to Life pointed out that Joe Biden was asked in 2020 by The New York Times what he would look for in a Supreme Court nominee. He told them:

"They have to have an expansive view of the Constitution. Recognize the right to privacy, unenumerated rights that exist in the Constitution… that means I know they will in fact support Roe v. Wade."

"President Biden made a campaign promise to impose an abortion litmus test on his nominees and we think it is extremely important that Senators take the time to carefully examine Judge Jackson’s record and her judicial philosophy, said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “The American people deserve a Supreme Court justice who will interpret the Constitution according to its actual text and history rather than one who would trample the Constitution to promote the radical pro-abortion agenda of the Democratic party and Biden administration."
