For episode 4 of our Supreme Court season, we\\u2019re focusing on the moment when most Americans learn about a potential Supreme Court justice: when the president nominates them to fill a vacancy.

Too often the immediate coverage is about the president and his political intentions in nominating this person. There is little substantive coverage about who this nominated person is, how they got to the legal position that they are in, and how their legal training could impact their work as a Supreme Court judge.

In this episode, we\\u2019ll show how this was true most recently when Justice Stephen Breyer retired. We knew President Biden\\u2019s short list of black women that were under consideration, but even still when media organizations had the time to explore these women\\u2019s histories, there was little to consume to learn about these women.
