In this episode, Alex starts by going into the recent news that Justice Breyer is going to be retiring from the Supreme Court, and President Biden may finally get the chance to nominate someone to the highest court in the land. Alex argues that Biden’s promise to nominate an African-American woman is a great idea considering the SCOTUS needs a body that represents the American people. One of the front runners for the nomination is Ketanji Brown Jackson, a highly qualified D.C. judge who was unanimously confirmed by the senate. She was also a public defender, which Alex thinks could add a needed perspective to our justice system.
Alex then goes into the good and the bad of Biden’s nominations up to this point. President Biden has done a great job of appointing federal appeals judges, yet he has done an atrocious job of getting ambassadors to many key countries confirmed by the senate.
