United States Supreme Court Justices

Speculation abounded over potential Clinton nominations to the Supreme Court even before his presidency officially began, given the advanced ages of several justices. On March 19, 1993, Justice Byron White announced his retirement effective at the end of the Supreme Court's 1992–1993 term.
President Clinton announced Ruth Bader Ginsburg as White's replacement on June 15, 1993, and she was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 3, 1993.
On April 6, 1994, Associate Justice Harry Blackmun announced his retirement, which ultimately took effect August 3, 1994. President Clinton announced Stephen Breyer as Blackmun's replacement on May 13, 1994, with the United States Senate confirming Breyer on July 29, 1994.
