Justice Stephen Breyer's retirement is clearing the way for President Joe Biden to make his first appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court—and there are already a number of names in play for the seat. Biden promised during his presidential campaign that he would appoint the first Black woman to the Supreme Court if a seat opened up. His administration has tapped eight Black women to federal appeal courts so far, greatly expanding the pool of potential nominees. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson of the D.C. federal appeals court is one of those recent appointees, and is considered to be a front-runner to fill Breyer's seat. Other nominees on the table are prominent Black women in the legal field, from California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger to NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund leader Sherrilyn Ifill. Here's a look at the nominees Biden could potentially choose for his first Supreme Court appointment.
