Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) on Friday praised President Bidens pick of Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court, characterizing her as an exemplary jurist while hailing the president for keeping his vow to nominate the first Black woman to the high court in its history.
She is outstanding, she will make a great member of the Supreme Court, Clyburn, a veteran of the Civil Rights movement and the No. 3 House Democrat, said in an interview with The Hills Steve Clemons during an event Friday.
I applaud the president for keeping that promise.
Jackson, whom Biden announced just hours earlier would be his choice to replace outgoing Justice Stephen Breyer, was not Clyburns first pick.

Clyburn is now being interviewed on CNN (Tapper is being a jerk, as usual), and he's thrilled with Biden's choice, despite Tapper's weak attempt to get Clyburn to act disappointed. He's getting EXACTLY the opposite.
That's a true Democrat for you!
