Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden’s nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, thanked God, Breyer, and her family on Feb. 25 during her introduction at the White House.

Jackson is a former member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, a former federal district court judge, and, most recently, a member of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, one of the most influential federal benches.
