President Biden this past Friday introduced his choice for the Supreme Court. And the nominee, DC Court of Appeals Ketanji Brown Jackson, introduced herself the country. It was a historic pick on multiple grounds. Jackson is the first African-American woman ever nominated for the court. If confirmed, she'll also be the first Supreme Court Justice who worked as a public defender bringing a new sensibility to how the criminal justice system impacts the world of real life defendants. But there is much more to her life story. A stellar student in high school, graduated from Harvard and Harvard Law School, with a family that includes a brother who was a Baltimore city cop and an uncle who was. Miami's Police Chief and yet another uncle who has been wrapped up in the drug trade. We'll talk to one of her oldest friends from High School - appellate lawyer Richard Rosenthal, about what we should know about Ketanji Brown Jackson and what her nomination will bring to the Supreme Court.
