The upper chamber of Congress erupted in applause as the 51-year-old was approved by a vote of 53 to 47 that ensures white men will not be the majority on the nation's high court for the first time in 233 years.Before she joins the bench, the Supreme Court is due to rule in major cases including one that could overturn the landmark 1973 decision that legalised abortion nationwide and another that could expand gun rights.
"Seeing Judge Jackson ascend to the Supreme Court reflects the promise of progress on which our democracy rests. What a great day it is in America." Like the three conservative justices appointed by Democrat Biden's Republican predecessor Donald Trump, Ms Jackson is young enough to serve for decades in the lifetime job.Ketanji Brown Jackson does not have the background typical of US Supreme Court judges, and not just because she will be first black woman ever to serve at the pinnacle of the legal profession.
And she has personal experience with the harsh sentences meted out for drug crimes in the United States - an uncle was sentenced to life in prison in 1989 for cocaine possession.
Wonderful.. reckon GOP running for the hills.. a woman and a black woman.. not the GOP favourite type of woman
Well there’s 2 boxes ticked
Yee ha! Excellent news
Her leniency on child sex rapists and the downloading of child porn has done massive damage to the victims and to the Democrat party as she will be used in Republican ads for 2022. The Hispanic community who are now polling over 52% Republican are disgusted by this appointment
Well hat's off to her, she has the diversity hire 'cackle when you can't answer' down to a T.
Does she identify as a judge though?
She couldn’t define what a woman is, embarrassing.
Well Done...👍
she does not know what a woman is and is on the supreme court ? lol from jfk to progressive loonies
Also made history as the first Supreme Court judge who can't say what a woman is....shameful.
The first ever affirmative action seat on SOCTUS. A seat filled by someone with a fondness for child rapists
But is she disabled and gay?
