"Democrats have given every indication that they will move quickly on nominating a Supreme Court justice to replace the outgoing Stephen Breyer, with the White House confirming that Joe Biden will keep his campaign-trail promise of putting up a Black woman for the job. Already, speculation has solidified into a short list: D.C. Circuit Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is the presumed front-runner, with California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger mentioned second.

But a third candidate has been gaining in the speculative fervor: South Carolina District Court Judge J. Michelle Childs. Her biggest enthusiast is home-state Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), the highest-ranking Black leader in Congress and a close adviser to Biden. In fact, Clyburn was the one who got Biden to make the Supreme Court pledge.

Clyburn has been whipping support for Childs with an enthusiasm far beyond that which he dedicated to Democrats’ police reform bill or the Build Back Better Act. In just a few short days, he has hit a number of news networks to advocate for her appointment. “She has the experience that is needed,” he said on MSNBC, a dig at Jackson, who has been criticized in the early goings as underqualified for the post."
