As President Joe Biden decides who he will nominate to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, advocates say it’s paramount that he select a justice who is committed to protecting disability rights.

Biden is currently weighing who he will tap to replace Justice Stephen Breyer who said last month that he intends to retire this summer, assuming that his successor has been confirmed.

In a letter to Biden this week, more than a dozen disability groups said that Breyer’s replacement should continue the outgoing justice’s commitment to upholding the rights of people with disabilities.

“As advocates for people with disabilities, we hope that the nominee will also be a judge or lawyer who has demonstrated an understanding of and commitment to a fair day in court for people with disabilities and other historically marginalized populations,” reads the letter from the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, the National Disability Rights Network, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, the American Association of People with Disabilities and other groups.

Specifically, advocates said that any new justice should respect precedent, understand how Supreme Court decisions impact people with disabilities, respect the role that Congress plays in protecting disability rights and recognize that people with disabilities are often subject to other types of discrimination as well and need strong civil rights laws generally.

In his nearly three decades on the court, Breyer has been a “strong voice” for disability and civil rights, the letter notes, who has “consistently voted to protect the rights of people with disabilities, including in cases involving our landmark disability civil rights law, the Americans with Disabilities Act.”

“Having a new justice on the court who understands disability and other civil rights laws, and who is committed to a fair day in court for people bringing claims under this law, is critical,” the advocacy groups wrote in their letter to the president.

Biden has already committed to picking the first Black woman to serve on the high court and he has reportedly interviewed three finalists for the job — Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Justice Leondra Kruger of the California Supreme Court and J. Michelle Childs, a U.S. District Court judge in South Carolina.

The president has said that he intends to nominate a new justice by the end of the month.
