WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden is narrowing the field for his first Supreme Court pick, as Stephen Breyer, a justice and longtime champion of liberal causes, plans to retire from the high court.

This gives Biden his first chance to nominate a Supreme Court justice.According to the Associated Press, Breyer’s departure isn’t expected until this summer.

And even though it won’t change the court’s 6-3 conservative majority, it will give Democrats a chance to secure a liberal seat for many years to come.Biden, as a presidential candidate, previously said if he were given the chance to nominate someone to the court, he would make history by choosing a Black woman."As president, I’d be honored, honored to appoint the first African American woman.

Because it should look like the country. It’s long past time," Biden said in February 2020 shortly before South Carolina’s presidential primary.Below is a list of names being circulated as potential nominees:(Credit: California Courts: The Judicial Branch of California) Leondra Kruger serves as a justice on the California Supreme Court.

Omicron 75% less likely to cause death than Delta COVID-19 variant: South Korean data

Omicron coronavirus variant are nearly 75% less likely to develop serious illness or die than those who contract the Delta variant, real world data released on Monday by South Korea’s health authorities showed.A study by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) of some 67,200 infections confirmed since December showed the Omicron variant’s severity and death rates averaged 0.38% and 0.18%, respectively, compared with 1.4% and 0.7% for the Delta cases.The KDCA classed severe cases as people who were hospitalised in intensive care units. COVID cases exceed 400 million globally as Omicrons spreads Around 56% of 1,073 people who died over the past five weeks were either unvaccinated or had received only one dose, the study showed, with people aged 60 or older accounting for 94% of deaths.More than 86% of South Korea’s 52 million population have been double vaccinated and nearly 60% have received a booster shot.South Korea had kept cases and deaths relatively low thanks to widespread social distancing measures and aggressive testing and tracing.The Omicron variant has led to a surge in cases — daily new infections topped a record 100,000 last week — but authorities have pushed ahead with slightly easing social distancing rules amid the lower fatality rate and ahead of a presidential election next month.Contact tracing and mandatory isolation for vaccinated people was scrapped in favour of self diagnosis and at-home treatment to free up medical resources.

How Fed interest rate hikes could impact mortgages, car loans, card rates

WASHINGTON (AP) - Will mortgage rates go up? How about car loans? Credit cards?How about those nearly invisible rates on bank CDs — any chance of getting a few dollars more?With the Federal Reserve signaling Wednesday that it will begin raising its benchmark interest rate as soon as March — and probably a few additional times this year — consumers and businesses will eventually feel it.The Fed’s thinking is that with America’s job market essentially back to normal and inflation surging well beyond the central bank’s annual 2% target, now is the time to raise its benchmark rate from near zero.The Fed had slashed its key rate after the pandemic recession erupted two years ago. The idea was to support the economy by encouraging borrowing and spending. But now, by making loans gradually costlier, the Fed hopes to stem the surging price increases that have been squeezing consumers and businesses.Here are some questions on what this could mean for consumers and businesses.Probably, but it's hard to say.
