Black Women Take the Supreme Court
February 17, 2022
Just weeks ago, Justice Steven Breyer announced his retirement from the Supreme Court, opening the door for President Biden to nominate a new judge to the bench. Keeping his campaign promise, Biden confirmed that he will be nominating a Black woman to replace Breyer, a historic move for a field that has not always welcomed Black women with open arms.
Joining us to discuss the impact of this future nomination is Ria Tabacco Mar, Director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Women鈥檚 Rights Project and one of At Liberty鈥檚 most frequent guests. Ria leads the project that was founded and led by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
It should be noted before we begin this conversation that as a matter of policy, the 老澳门开奖结果 does not endorse or oppose particular candidates for the Supreme Court, except in extraordinary circumstances.
