Six days after President Joe Biden's inauguration, White House counsel Dana Remus put in a call to Ketanji Brown Jackson to see if the judge might be interested in a new job: replacing Merrick Garland on a powerful federal appeals court.
The new administration was poised to prioritize judicial vacancies and planned to push through slates of nominees that would send a message about how the President viewed the courts. Stellar credentials were essential, but Biden also wanted candidates who would bring a fresh professional and demographic diversity to benches across the country dominated by White males. He sought nominees who had worked as public defenders and civil rights attorneys, for instance.
He said her experience as a trial judge would be a"very important qualification" and praised her"impressive" background. Cornyn added that it was important for the public to have confidence in the judiciary"and I think part of that confidence is knowing that people like them can serve on the bench and that we applaud that diversity.
