Biden to nominate groundbreaking first slate of federal judges

President Biden on Tuesday announced plans to nominate 11 judges to the federal courts, including D.C. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace former D.C. Circuit Court Judge Merrick Garland, who is now U.S. attorney general.

Why it matters: If confirmed, could result in the first Muslim federal judge in the country's history, the first AAPI woman to serve on the D.C. District Court, and the first woman of color as a federal judge in Maryland, according to the White House.

The selections "reflect the president’s deeply held conviction that the federal bench should reflect the full diversity of the American people," the White House wrote in a news release.

Between the lines: The nomination of Jackson will likely spur discussion about a potential nomination for the Supreme Court.

Biden has said he will nominate the country's first Black female justice, and the D.C. Circuit Court to which Jackson is nominated is often viewed as a stepping stone for the highest court.
Jackson was once a clerk for Justice Stephen Breyer, the oldest justice on the Supreme Court.

Other nominees:
Zahid N. Quraishi, a magistrate judge and nominee for the New Jersey District Court, would be the first Muslim American to serve on the federal bench.

Tiffany Cunningham, a patent litigator in Chicago, was nominated to the Federal Circuit Appeals Court. She would be the first Black woman to serve on that court.

Florence Y. Pan, a D.C. Superior Court judge, is nominated to replace Jackson on the D.C. District Court. She would be the first Asian American woman on the court.

Candace Jackson-Akiwumi, who has served as a federal public defender for the last decade, is a nominee for the Seventh Circuit Appeals Court. She would be the only Black woman on that court's bench.

Magistrate Judge Deborah Boardman and Federal Claims Court Judge Lydia Griggsby for the Maryland District Court.

Julien Neals, a county counsel and acting county administrator in New Jersey, to serve on New Jersey's District Court.

Civil rights and criminal lawyer Margaret Strickland for the New Mexico District Court.

Former federal prosecutor Regina Rodriguez for the Colorado District Court.

The White House noted in its news release that "none of the last four administrations had nominated more than two candidates by this point in their presidency."

Read: no white men need apply.




I guess I really don't see what difference it makes now. Look at the 300 or so judges Trump appointed. Most of them turned out to be leftist plants in the end, when it mattered. I guess law schools have been infiltrated for so long, it just doesn't matter anymore.

Don't count on justice from a court.

the first thing Biden sees is ones color. That makes him a full blown racist.
Where's CNN to report on this

"Muslim" is a color?

But yeah, choosing people based on their religion or skin color or gender as opposed to the qualifications makes absolutely ZERO sense.

**** Political Correctness.

The big question is: how is he going to rule against sharia law?

Political correctness is all the things it's not supposed to be.

My guess is that the mudslime will support and embrace it. And work it's ass off to ram it down everyone's throats.
