There was clearly a rush to push Breyer out and confirm a candidate before Biden becomes any less competent in office than he already is.
AP Obama's coverage is comic:
Jackson will take her seat when Justice Stephen Breyer retires this summer, solidifying the liberal wing of the 6-3 conservative-dominated court. ... Jackson could wait as long as three months to be sworn in, as the court’s session generally ends in late June or early July. She remains a judge on the federal appeals court in Washington, but she stepped away from cases there when she was nominated in February.
