madam president, we are debating the president's nominee to succeed justice stephen breyer who has served, and as a law student i had him as an advisor and i remember his guidance and counsel as i began my legal career. i have

of course, she'll be seated on the bench upon the retirement of stephen breyer. we have just learned that president biden was with the judge inside the white house as they watched this final vote taking place by a 53-47 margin. her confirmation, other staff, we're told, were also in the room. we were getting those photographs as soon as we have them. we will share with you. separately the white house announced that tomorrow it will extend this celebration with a 12:15 eastern time celebration of her confirmation to take place on the south lawn here at the white house with remarks from both president biden himself and judge ketanji brown jackson. that's going to be sort of a two-day affair. this has been going on for a matter of months. it's something the president has thought about for years dating back to his time, having served as the chair of the senate judiciary committee and now tomorrow -- i guess today and ultimately tomorrow in person in front of america the two will stand in a chance to celebrate this historic achievement. and what the president has said

she replaces justice stephen breyer in a court. she has clerked for him and graduated from moscow. judge jackson has an extremely impressive background in legal credentials and the circuit often called the nation's second-highest court. the american bar association standing committee of the recruit judiciary gave judge jackson unanimously well-qualified rating from the supreme court which n is its highest rating. to receive his this highest rating of the supreme court nominee must be of preeminent member of the legal profession having outstanding, legal abiliy and exceptional read that experienced and meet the highest standards of integrity of judicial temperament. judge jackson passed all of these tests with flying colors during her senate confirmation process. i had the privilege of cheering judge jackson's first confirmationen hearing when president obama nominated to her to t serve. i had the opportunity to visit with judge jackson earlier this month prior to her confirmation hearing. it was a real pleasure to speak with her. i'm familiar with the background pictures also a for

turning now specifically to judge jackson's nomination, she would replace justice stephen breyer on the court, who fittingly she had clarkd for after graduating -- clerked for after graduating law school. judge jackson has an extremely stellar background and sits on the u.s. court of appeals for the district of columbia circuit, often called the nation's second-highest court. the american bar association's standing committee on the federal judiciary gave judge jackson a unanimously well-qualified rating for the supreme court, which is its highest rating. the committee notes that to receive this highest rating, a supreme court nominee must be a preeminent member of the legal profession, have an outstanding legal ability, exceptional breadth of experience and meet the high standards of competence and judicial temperament. judge jackson passed all these tests with flying colors during her senate confirmation process. i had the privilege of chairing judge jackson's first senate confirmation hearing in 2009, when president obama nominated her to serve on the u.s. sentencing commission. i the

she is replacing the outgoing stephen breyer. let's talk about what she could bring. >> it is interesting because you can look at this on one level and say it is not consequential at all. you still have a majority of republican appointees. you can move on from there. the history of this makes it very consequential. and what we learned over the years is that the influence they have right now is met tell you anything about where they will be down the road. you can imagine a whole host of issues and a body of writing that gets built up over decades. she is only in her early 50's. she can easily serve for 30 years on the high court. it is very hard to predict what is coming down the road, what is in the future. some justices change over time. and often no court changes direction based on the personality and the jurisprudence and the direction that individual justices take. being as young as she is, you can see all matter of ways for justice jackson is going to be influential. >> let's look at what cases will come to the court when sh

with all democrats and three republicans voting aye, jackson is set to replace justice stephen breyer later this year. the confirmation celebrated at the white house with a hug between jackson and president biden, captured in this photo. after the two watched the vote take place together a full circle moment for the president who vowed as the candidate to nominate a black woman to the court a moment almost upstaged by a curious delay. peter alexander reports. >> reporter: a shared embrace punctuated by an enduring moment president biden in the white house with judge ketanji brown jackson, celebrating the senate vote securing her historic place as the first black woman on the supreme court. >> this nomination is confirmed. >> reporter: now, for the first time, the court will include two black justices and four women, though the conservative court's ideological balance will not change. >> a day like today that is so historic and so important for so many reasons, and i do believe it's a very important statement about who we are as a nation >> reporter: jackson's confirmation bipartisan,

breyer have done. we have the right to be concern and the man answers on behalf of the american people. i think our country deserves better. that's why i can't support the nomination of judge jackson to the supreme court. i am committed to giving the american people qualified judges who understand the role of government and tohe apply the lw as it was written, not as a want it to be. it is a simple standard and one that floridians expect. unfortunately based on my best estimate of a record on the bench that is unfortunately not the case with judge jackson. the democratic party needs to understand the supreme court is not just another institution to infiltrate with a leftist ideology. i have no hope that they will but until he do i will continue fighting to uphold the constitution, ensure that the remains of separation of powers between the branches of government and the judges who are pointed to the bench understand they are there to interpret the law, not to make the law. i yield the floor. >> mr. pre

the only person who comes close is the person she's succeeding, stephen breyer, who came in late july. ketanji jackson will come in early july and that's when we can start calling her justice jackson. >> pete, thank you so much. and on the screen right now you can see cedric richmond exchanging handshakes and hugs with senator chris coombs from the home state of delaware. and this solidifies both the president and the judge's places in history now. they were able to celebrate this moment together yesterday. there were tears. this was a surprise to us. we didn't know she would be in the roosevelt room. there was a presidential selfie the two took. what did that behind the scenes celebration look like? take us into the room and what we expect to hear in the next couple of moments some >> in many ways this marks almost the end of the time of president biden and judge jackson together because they will, of course, represent two separate but equal branchs of government and once she becomes a member of the court, it's not typical for justices to spend time at the white house. might be an oc

breyer on the supreme court. we will have live coverage for you both here and over on c-span starting at 10 a.m. eastern. until then a number of senators expressed their position on the nominee last week on the floor. here are some of their comments. >> mr.ia president, last week judiciary committee hearing gave senators the opportunity toec hr directly from president biden's nominee to the supreme court, judge ketanji brownja jackson. to help them decide whether she is an appropriate candidate for the nation's highest court. my approach to deciding whether or not to vote for a supreme court nominee or any judicial nominee is pretty simple. i look at the character and qualifications and most of all i look at the question of whether nominee understands the limited role of the judiciary in the separation of powers. of course has three distinct branches, the legislative branch which makes the loss. the executive branch, the presidentws and executive departments which executes the loss. andud the judiciary which inte

stephen breyer, who's retiring at age 83, is 32 years older than her. she's going to bring some fresh thoughts, some fresh blood, if not a different ideology than his. she also has this very distinctive experience as a former trial judge and a former federal public defender. so, a different attitude around the justice's private table. i'm often reminded in these instances of something chief justice john roberts has said, that just a fresh justice brings an array of fresh thoughts about how the operations behind the scenes, about cases, and that just changes everyone to maybe alter his or her lens a little bit, and then there's sandra day o'connor, who said of the first african american justice, thurgood marshall, who was appointed in 1967, that his special perspective and his ability to tell stories around the private conference table really got them thinking in different ways. he might not have changed votes, but he at least changed the discussion. so, i think all of those things, alisyn -- >> joan -- >> -- will essentially affect and bring us a new su

breyer has held for almost three decades. i would like to first offer a few words about justice breyer as he prepares to step down from the brerchl. justice breyer has served the court and the nation with grace, expertise, humility, brilliance, and an unwavering dedication to justice. he has worked tirelessly to build consensus among his colleagues. and he has always kept in mind the real world impacts of the court's decisions on the american people. justice breyer knew that justice for some was a failure of the court. from his opinions on voting rights to reproductive rights to the affordable care act, he has been a key voice in many historic decisions that have affected so many americans. we owe him a great debt of gratitude. and i'm honored and privileged to call justice breyer a dear friend, and i wish him the best in his retirement. now in looking for justice breyer's successor, president biden said that he wanted to nominate a persuasive justice, someone in the mold of justice breyer. and with judge ketanji brown jackso

let me begin, however, by taking a moment to thank justice stephen breyer for his exemplary service to our country. as many of our colleagues know, justice breyer was nominated to the supreme court by president clinton in 1994, when i was serving as governor of delaware then. the presiding officer was an astronaut up in the ether above our planet. justice breyer was confirmed, some will recall, by an overwhelming bipartisan vote, 87-9. 87-9. justice breyer served our country with distinction for over six decades, including as a corporal in the army reserve, the federal sirveght court judgt judge, and for nearly three decades on the bench in the highest court in our land. justice breyer is known as a consensus buehler on the bench, a trait -- consensus builder on the bench. a trait i admired during my time as governor of delaware, when i nominated literally dozens of highly qualified individuals to serve on delaware's highly respected courts. over the past three decades, justice breyer has helped forge principled compromises to protect the constitutional rights of all americans and to u

and if judge jackson, soon-to-be justice jackson serves as long as stephen breyer whom she's succeeding, she will be on the bench until 2050, jake. so quite a legacy for president joe biden. long after he's gone, she will still be determining the law of the land. and i know as you're aware she's not going to change right now the ideological balance on this court with six conservatives controlling and three liberals, because she's succeeding another democratic appointed liberal. but she's going to bring youthfulness. she's 32 years younger than justice breyer. she's got very distinct experience as a federal public defender. they never had someone like that on the bench. we have to go all the way back to thurgood marshall as someone who had a record of advocating for criminal defendants and she was a trial judge. only justice sotomayor has that. so i think that she will impact this court in many ways, even though she will not change the ideological balance right away, jake. >> arguably she's more progressive than stephen breyer who when he was appointed was something more in the center le

breyer. each of them is an exceptional public servant, and i could not have had better role models for thoughtfulness, integrity, honor and principle, both by word and deed. my cleerkship with justice breyer in particular was an extraordinary gift, and one for which i have only become more grateful with each passing year. justice breyer's commitment to an independent, impartial judiciary is unflagging. and for him, the rule of law is not nearly a duty. it is his passion. i am daunted by the prospect of having to follow in his footsteps, and i would count myself lucky indeed to be able to do so with even the smallest amount of his wisdom, grace and joy. the exceptional mentorship of the judges for whom i clerked has proven especially significant for me during this past decade of my service as a federal judge. and, of course, that service itself has been a unique opportunity. for that, i must also thank president obama, who put his faith in me by nominating me to my first judicial role on the f

stephen breyer hasn't retired yet. he's not quite finished. some of the upcoming decisions published by the court will be his, not hers. she'll take over in october. of course, any political thriller writer would ask, what if breyer changes his mind. history doesn't supply us with a good answer there, not that we have any reason to think that's anything beyond a good plot for a novel. we're also watching covid really kind of circle the president. the first lady's press secretary has come down with it, nancy pelosi tested positive, and now both senators collins and warn okay say they have covid. both were crucial in the vote for jackson, by the way. collins, one of three republican yes votes. wornack was one of two senators who turned georgia blue right after the presidential election. we're watching everything happening today. we expect the president and judge jackson to speak about 9:15. we'll be on social media. on twitter you'll find me @scott mcgrew. >>> new this morning, your pg&e energy bill could be lower this month. it will be lowered

i mean, just look back to 1994, justice stephen breyer, who seat jackson will actually be taking, was confirmed by a whopping 87 votes to nine. nearly 80% of senate republicans supported his nomination. now, can you imagine that kind of bipartisanship nowadays? i don't think even oprah could garner that level of support in today's senate. so it might not be surprising that judge jackson doesn't have more publican support. but just because we're not surprised doesn't mean that we still shouldn't be disappointed. i mean, do you think that dozens of republican senators really wanted bill clinton picking a supreme court nominee back in 1994? no, of course not! but they supported justice by his nomination because he was qualified, and he deserved that spot. and let me tell you something else. judge jackson deserves her spot as well. and we shouldn't give republicans credit for being bipartisanship, with only a single member of the gop could put aside political get gamesmanship for one minute to support her nomination. pport her nomination [limu emu squawks] woo! new personal record, limu!
