President Joe Biden says he’s doing a “deep dive” on “about four people” as he’s deciding whom to nominate as a replacement for retiring Justice Stephen Breyer
“I’m not looking to make an ideological choice here,” he said, adding that he wants someone like Breyer, “with an open mind, who understands how the Constitution, interprets it in a way that is consistent with the mainstream interpretation of the Constitution.”
It's unclear if Biden's nominee will be able to win any GOP votes. One possible supporter is South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has voted for several of Biden's lower court nominees. He has pushed U.S. District Court Judge J. Michelle Childs, who the White House said was under consideration for the job earlier this month.
Justice Stephen Breyer, one of three members of the liberal minority on the Supreme Court, has announced his plans to retire. NBCLX Political Editor Noah Pransky talks about what this means for the Democrats, several huge rulings the court will make this year, and how President Joe Biden can replace Breyer. Biden has pledged to name a Black woman to fill the seat.
Also under consideration are Ketanji Brown Jackson, who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger.
