President Biden has announced that he will nominate his Supreme Court pick to succeed Justice Stephen Breyer by the end of February.
Mr Breyer, the high court’s most senior liberal justice, gave notice of his intent to retire from active service after more than four decades on the federal bench in a letter to Mr Biden on Thursday. He was first nominated to a federal judgeship by then-President Jimmy Carter in 1980 and was elevated to the Supreme Court by Bill Clinton in 1994.
