Senate Judiciary Committee Sets Vote For Supreme Court Nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson

WASHINGTON (CBSMiami) - The Senate Judiciary Committee has set a date to vote on the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The vote to recommend her nomination to the full Senate will take place Monday, April 4th.

Judge Jackson, a graduate of Miami Palmetto Senior High School, has been making the rounds and meeting with senators on Capitol Hill.

Democrats have the potential with their slim majority in the 50-50 Senate to confirm Judge Jackson as President Joe Biden's choice to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer even if all Republicans line up opposed.

If confirmed, Judge Jackson would be the first Black woman to sit on the highest court in the nation.

The full Senate is expected to vote on Judge Jackson's confirmation sometime before Easter.
