Supreme court judge name 2022

Abortion-rights protesters gather outside the Supreme Court in Washington, Friday, June 24, 2022. The Supreme Court has ended constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place nearly 50 years, a decision by its conservative majority to overturn the court's landmark abortion cases. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana) Alito said in the majority ruling that Roe was "egregiously wrong from the start," with its reasoning "exceptionally weak." He said the decision has had "damaging consequences." "We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely — the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment," he said. "That provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, but any such right must be ‘deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition’ and ‘implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.’" READ ALITO'S FULL OPINION IN SUPREME COURT'S DOBBS V.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki did not answer the many questions reporters had on Tuesday about when President Biden would interview Supreme Court candidates. Alex Wong/Getty Images The Biden White House — and the Biden presidential campaign before it — is a largely leak-free operation. When then-candidate Joe Biden interviewed vice presidential contenders in 2020, hardly any details slipped out about who he was meeting to interview for the job. No one reported that then-Sen. Kamala Harris was his pick until the Biden campaign announced it itself. (It helped the campaign's cause that the veep vetting played out during the peak of the pandemic, when things were all remote. Zoom meetings are harder to stake out than in-person ones.) Biden has said he will make up his mind by the end of February The White House appears equally determined to make sure Biden's nominee to the Supreme Court — a person he's vowed will be the first Black woman ever nominated — will be unveiled the same way: on the White House's terms, and at the exact moment when the White House is ready to announce it. So despite the fact that Biden's self-imposed deadline to name a nominee by the end of the month is rapidly approaching, and despite the fact that Biden's public schedule is exceptionally light this week — making it a good window to, say, sit down for extended interviews with potential justices — the administration is not giving any public hints about whether or not that's taking place. "I'm ...

California Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger is a leading contender to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court. Jeff Chiu/AP Leondra Kruger has been a star in the legal profession for more than a decade. Though some Republicans have railed against President Biden's pledge to name a Black woman, calling it a "quota," when it comes to qualifications, Kruger has all the bells and whistles if Biden names her to the Supreme Court. Kruger, 45, has been a California Supreme Court justice since 2015 and prior to that served in the George W. Bush and Obama administrations in the solicitor general's office, rising to the position of acting principal deputy. In 2013 she left that office to serve as deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel, which provides legal advice to the president and other executive branch agencies. Her legal experience also includes a two short stints at large law firms in Washington, D.C., and a year as a visiting professor at the University of Chicago Law School. During her tenure in the Department of Justice, Kruger twice received the the attorney general's award for exceptional service, the department's "highest award for employee performance." By 2021, she had amassed a legal reputation so distinguished that Attorney General Merrick Garland twice asked her to serve as solicitor general in the Biden administration, but to no avail. Kruger's standout career Kruger's mother is an immigrant from Jamaica, and her late ...

Audio snippets of each Justice speaking are intended to give a sense of the sound of the Justice’s voice and how he or she posed questions or spoke from the bench. Generally, the clips feature the first time a Justice spoke at oral argument or announced an opinion. Because of poor audio quality, however, sometimes we have substituted a clip from later in their first term. Thanks to Pat Ward for providing the sound engineering and to Jerry Goldman for permission to use material from Oyez Project.
