Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court was not the only one to lead to a deadlock on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday – the panel also tied on a Biden nominee who would be the first Black woman judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
As with Jackson, the panel also voted 11-11 on public defender Arianna Freeman's nomination to the Philadelphia-based court, while advancing another four of President Joe Biden's judicial picks.and Freeman mean they will face an additional procedural hurdle as the Senate must vote to discharge their nominations from the committee before any final vote.The committee also voted 13-9 to promote Flint, Michigan-based U.S. District Judge Stephanie Dawkins Davis to the 6th U.S.
Biden has pushed to increase the racial and gender diversity on the federal bench and to draw nominees from beyond the traditional pool of lawyers from big law firms and prosecutor offices. Freeman's work as a court-appointed defense lawyer led to opposition from Republicans, including one of her two home-state senators, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who refused to return a so-called "blue slip" backing her.
