- Justice Stephen Breyer, a key member of the U.S. Supreme Court's liberal bloc since he joined in 1994, will officially retire from the high court at noon Thursday as Justice-designate Ketanji Brown Jackson takes the oaths to become the 116th member of the institution.
- "It has been my great honor to participate as a judge in the effort to maintain our Constitution and the Rule of Law," Justice Breyer, 83, wrote in a letter to President Joe Biden on Wednesday. Justice-designate Jackson, Breyer said, is "prepared to take the prescribed oaths to begin her service as the 116th member of this court."
- At noon on Thursday, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Breyer will administer the oaths to Justice-designate Jackson in a ceremony at the Supreme Court attended by her family and livestreamed on the court's website. A formal investiture will take place later, the court said.
