Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was contacted by the White House just four days after Justice Stephen Breyer announced his plans to retire from the bench, according to Senate Judiciary Committee documents.
"On January 30, 2022, White House Counsel Dana Remus contacted me concerning my potential nomination to the Supreme Court to fill the anticipated vacancy that would arise from Justice Breyer's announced retirement," Jackson said in the 149-page questionnaire to the committee charged with handling her confirmation process.
The questionnaire also revealed she was not asked about specific issues or cases that could be heard before the Supreme Court and said nobody involved in the nomination process inquired as to how she would rule on specific issues if she is confirmed as a justice by the Senate.
