President Biden of the United States has nominated the first black woman to be the new judge of the Federal Supreme Court, who will give the final judicial decision on issues that divide society, such as abortion and same-sex marriage.
President Biden of the United States announced on the 25th that he will nominate a new judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, Mr. Ketangi Jackson, who will serve as a judge in the Federal Court of Appeals in the capital Washington.
If she takes office, she will be the first black woman to be a federal Supreme Court justice.
At a press conference, President Biden hoped that Jackson would "make use of her extraordinary ability, deep thinking, and her judicial achievements in court."
The Federal Supreme Court has a majority vote on issues that divide society, such as abortion, same-sex marriage, and the pros and cons of gun control. Has an important meaning.
This nomination is due to the retirement of a liberal male judge, and since Mr. Jackson is also considered to be a liberal, the composition of 6 conservatives and 3 liberals is expected to remain unchanged.
Mr Jackson will then need to get approval from the Senate, but she just got the majority of support when she was appointed to the Federal Court of Appeals last year, and she is again approved. It seems that.
