Ketanji Brown-Jackson has been nominated by President Biden to fill the Supreme Court seat of retiring justice Stephen Breyer. The nomination fulfills a Biden campaign promise to nominate a black woman. Senate confirmation hearings are set to begin today (Monday) and run through this week.

Today's question, Should Brown-Jackson be confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court?
