[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Kaitanji Brown Jackson replaced Stephen Brey, who announced his retirement on June 30, and swore to serve as the Supreme Court Justice of the United States, becoming the first black female judge in the history of the Supreme Court in the United States. She is also the 116th judge, the sixth female judge and the third black judge since the establishment of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1789.

From noon on June 30, Brey's retirement took effect. He was 83 years old and has been a judge for 27 years. In fact, judges can keep their positions until they die. Therefore, the timing of Brey's retirement is intriguing. Analysis of the National Public Broadcasting Station (NPR) National Public Broadcasting Station believes that with the "red wave" (the Republican victory is fierce) with the "red wave" before the midterm elections, the Republican Party may take over the House of Representatives, and the Senate's competition may be more intense, and the judge nominated confirmed that the Senate voting needs to be voted. Essence During the Obama administration, Democrats hoped that the then judge Kingsberg would retire to prevent Republicans from winning the election in 2016. But Kingsberg did not retire, and finally died on the eve of the 2020 election. This gave the then President Trump's opportunity to nominate conservative judges. "They (Democrats) don't want such things to happen again. Brey is 83 years old. He knows the political factors." The NPR program analyzed that Brey's retirement allowed Bayon and Democrats at least a chance to nominate one "Young judges who can serve several generations." (Li Zhun)
