MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber and a panel of legal experts discuss the importance of this pick. Aired on 02/25/2022.




Winning: Biden Fulfills Vow To Break Supreme Court Barrier - The Beat - MSNBC

President Biden nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, breaking a barrier the judge cited in her nomination speech.

2. Been busy following

developments in Ukraine, but want to take the time to say congratulations! I will always remember primary election night in South Carolina and how the African American community that night, pushed Joe Biden to a great primary win. In particular, the African American women of South Carolina.
