Fox News
The Senate Judiciary Committee advanced the nomination of Judge Kentaji Brown Jackson to replace Attorney General Merrick Garland on U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, a bench that's considered the second-highest court in the land and a frequent stop for future Supreme Court justices.
Jackson comes with the kind of credentials seen in many nominees to appeals courts, including a law degree from Harvard Law School and a clerkship with Justice Stephen Breyer. She also clerked on the First Circuit before that and in the District of Massachusetts. Jackson was nominated to the federal bench by former President Barack Obama and confirmed in 2013.More Related News
