    Biden introduces Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as Supreme Court nominee.
    NBC News (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 82% • 6 min read

    If confirmed, Jackson would become the first Black woman to serve on the court. At 51, she would also be the first justice since Thurgood Marshall with significant experience as a defense lawyer. As the successor to Justice Breyer, Jackson would not change the court’s current 6-to-3 conservative supermajority.
    ...
    Before her current post, Jackson served eight years as a federal trial judge in Washington. She was a Supreme Court law clerk for Breyer. Jackson was nominated to her appeals court position just eight months ago and was confirmed in a 53-44 vote with the support of all Democrats and three Republican senators.
    ...
    As a judge, Jackson has no record of rulings, writings or speeches on the hot-button issues of abortion, gun rights or freedom of religion. She was on the three-judge panel that rejected former President Trump’s effort to block the National Archives from giving the House Jan. 6 committee hundreds of documents from his time in the White House.

YESTERDAY'S POLL

Do you believe in life after death?

623 votes, 35 comments

Context: Landmark study suggests dying brain was replaying important life events.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - It's hard to define something like this with the word "life," but it does exist. It is impossible to simply dismiss near-death experiences without interviewing people who have had them. The exact nature of these experiences is somehow unknown for whatever reason. It is not life as we know it. This is experienced by people from all religions and beliefs.


No - For me, the main problem with dualism (the notion that spirit is separate from physical matter) is that lobotomies work. Theoretically, if spirit and matter were not one and...



Unsure - Anyone who answers differently from this is not being completely honest. I am a natural-born skeptic, and, as a hospice nurse, I have witnessed hundreds of deaths firsthand without ever experiencing anything that would convince me one way or t...
