Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer says he plans to step down at the end of this current term.

WASHINGTON —President Joe Biden and Justice Stephen Breyer are scheduled to appear together at the White House Thursday as the Supreme Court justice is set to announce his retirement.

Breyer, 83 years-old, is one of the three remaining liberal justices, and his decision to retire after more than 27 years on the court allows Biden to appoint a successor who could serve for decades.

During President Biden's presidential campaign, he promised to name a black woman to the high court.

NBC News reports among likely contenders are U.S. Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, a former Breyer law clerk; and Leondra Kruger, a justice on California’s Supreme Court.

Encouraging Words From Your Bible

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven.
