Ketanji Brown Jackson is confirmed to the Supreme Court as the first Black female justice after historic Senate vote

The confirmation represents a significant victory for Democrats, which they can tout as bipartisan, and a way for the President to deliver on a campaign promise at a time when the US faces a number of challenges at home and abroad, including soaring inflation and the crisis in Ukraine. It also marks a major milestone for the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, although Jackson's confirmation won't change the ideological balance of the court.

Jackson was also a commissioner on the US Sentencing Commission and served on the federal district court in DC, as an appointee of former President Barack Obama, before Biden elevated her to the DC Circuit last year.Confirmation hearings featured sharp and critical questioning from Republicans as many attempted to portray Jackson as weak on crime and, in a highly-charged line of attack, too lenient in sentencing child pornography cases.

stephaniej1084 Hello

Not a bright person!!!!

So

Congratulations we are delighted for you

Should be good, doesn’t even know what a woman is.

I pray for you please do not let us know I used to live in the US I got deported I still believe in the US I believe one day they will wake up and understand that your ability

They did not want to support you not because you're black but because you are a woman lots of white woman don't understand they have no rights I believe in equal rights for women and men coming from my house where I was raised by a single mother these men they don't respect woman

Those that voted for color and not character will be the reason this country will die within the next 20 years tops. Get fucked & cease to exsist. You are the problem and being proud of that makes you an enemy of these united states.

YaddaYaddaYadda BlahBlahBlah

Congratulations!!!

hello guys

Affirmative action gives me doubts about her qualifications. Is that wrong of me?

If Ketanji Jackson was white, Biden would've never picked her.

Too bad she doesn't identify as an Asian male. Now THAT would be historic...and SOO pleasing to the LGBTQ wackos.

Yeah but, can she define 'woman'

Kentaji seems nice. But Biden still hasn’t appointed and 1 Asian to a major position. High % of Asians also voted for him. He is first President to not appoint Asian in decades. He is easily Bullied.

Proud of you sister

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

Define 'Woman'. Transgender is the todays definition. It's a woman who turned to a man and/or it's a Man turned into a woman. It's also a woman born as a woman and will remain a woman until the end of her life.

Her resume speaks for her. Congratulations madam. Happy for your parents, husband and daughters. Also those great friends of yours. I celebrate them too. I celebrate those that stood against you too. They really tried to get you off. Because, you almost lost thi chance.

Biden is the 🤡 who made it about race/gender. He's the one who said he was looking for a woman of color😂😂😂. So who knows how many more qualified people were not considered because of his ridiculous parameters. Had he not said that, it would be a bigger accomplishment.

The glass ceiling has been shattered! Congratulations on a job well done.

Hopefully she is not another Harris

Good for her.

Congratulations!!!

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Are you sure ? Are you a biologist?

It’s too bad Biden made a point of saying he would nominate a black female rather than just simply nominating her. Sets her up to always be the token black female….that is sad.

It's not too early !

Now the world have been changed since Obama except the dino rus putin ...

Cho

I bet she would just like to be known as a Supreme Court Justice. Every time you identify her by a physical characteristic you demean her accomplishments.

Stop the racial crap. She is a human qualified to be a Supreme Court judge

Congratulations

🔥

Congratulations. Welcome to the court.

CONGRATULATIONS

Female? What are you, a biologist or something?

For once I am glad to see someone who is REALLY qualified confirmed to the Supreme Court. It’s just tragic that she had to endure the BS from certain senators (notice uncapitalized). For those republicans that left, DONT LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR ASS.

A historic moment to talk about was the blacks in the government in the 1800s. How about telling about KKK being started in the 1800s by the Democrats? Wilson took real history out of books in the 1900s. Research it.

Three senators crossed the moat to vote for a fair decision. Their courage and putting country-over-self enabled Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be appointed to The Supreme Court. Shout out to Collins (Maine), Murkowski (Alaska) and Romney (Utah)!

Ummmm noooo it’s terrible choice for someone who doesn’t know how to define a woman👎👎👎👎👎👎 yall are Mormons for voting for her just cause of skin color she has no business being there

Do we really know she is a female. I mean she has no idea how to define one.

The disrespectful display by Senate Republicans after Jackson's confirmation vote was a stark visual reminder of the GOP's racism. Jackson's experience alone warranted showing her respect. No Democrats left the chamber when Barrett was confirmed and she was grossly unqualified.

Not sure most qualified? Biden cut the interviews by 1/5 left out a bunch of good candidates. Is that fair. (No). A lot of hard working good people were over looked. Same goes for the VP. He can’t even get his policies right.

The US is afraid that Russian evidence is in Ukraine. If someone's relative died from COVID-19? then contact its creator Eugene Johnson.The United States is afraid that the world will find out that this particular citizen is to blame for the deaths of millions

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 well deserved.

For a person selected based on the color of skin and sex, it was an illegal confirmation. What you see is what you get!

Congrats.

PRAYER PACKAGE TO DESTROY ALL NEGATIVITIES & TURN THEM UPSIDE DOWN. I TRANSFER IT TO WHERE THERE IS EVIL, NEGATIVE FOUNDATIONS, CURSE SPELLS, & VOODOO CURSE. GO UPSIDE DOWN NOW YOU EVIL. AS ABOVE SO BELOW. SO MOTE IT BE...

Congratulations to judge Brown on her historical confirmation to the bench. What an amazing day! Not sure why she had to deal with so much scrutiny 🧐. It should never be about race or the color of someone’s skin, it should be about qualifications. When will things change

I'm happy for her, happy the Supreme Court has another birthing person aboard

Funny, they say, “Don’t Categorize Us” (being BLACK) yet they Categorize them being just that!! COMICAL

MLK - “The arc of the MORAL universe is long (yea very long), But it bends toward Justice”. This is a moment for America to celebrate!

Excellent.

✌️🥰🙏

I guess the people at cnn are biologist now.

Thank be to God

Congratulations!!!! I am thrilled.

Another Nail in the US s Coffin. Enjoy Hell Everyone

What? I missed the rioting and protests… oh that’s right it’s a Dem nomination, congrats to Justice Jackson.

Black is a brand in America.....it makes money

Congratulations to JudgeKetanjiBrownJackson 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You can’t say female, she doesn’t know what that is. Remember she’s not a biologist! Have some respect CNN

If only we celebrated merit than having a president that just selected someone based off of gender and race.
