AP Source: Biden taps Ketanji Brown Jackson for high court abc15

Jackson is an attorney who possesses the type of elite legal background found in other high court justices, but who's worked as a public defender. If confirmed, she'd fill the seat on the nine-member court that will be vacated by Justice Stephen Breyer.
