Ketanji Brown Jackson: US Senate votes to confirm judge to top court
2022-04-08
[BBC] The US Supreme Court is to include a black female justice for the first time in its 233-year history after the Senate confirmed Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to the nine-member bench.

Three Republicans crossed the aisle to seal her appointment by a vote of 53 to 47.

Justice Jackson's appointment fulfils President Joe Biden's campaign promise to put a black woman on the court.

Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, called it a "joyous day" for the US.

The vote was overseen by Vice-President Kamala Harris, the first black woman to hold the office.

Ms Jackson, 51, will replace Justice Stephen Breyer, a fellow liberal judge for whom she once clerked, upon his retirement in June.

#15  I've come to believe Pierre has just decided to be a friendly, neutered member of the loyal opposition, always professing integrity and commitment to impartiality, enjoying being important, and living a very comfortable life free of major upsets. In a word, he has quit really trying, gone ROAD (Retired on Active Duty).

#13  Liberal Supreme Court justice is replaced by another even more so. Yes, she is a bad pick, but no one President Biden’s team put forward would have been any better. And she’ll be Clarence Thomas’s chew toy for years to come.

#12  It will be fun in a grim sort of way to watch Roberts try to thread the needle when SCROTUS has to rule on ped0 stuff.

#11  Yes, a WOKE sideshow with lifetime implications, none of them good unless you sniff ladies hair or hang out around school playgrounds.

IMA anxiously awaiting the moment someone makes the connection btwn Hunter Biden and the Epstein affair.

When they say it's "all about the children".... they are deadly serious.

#9  Of all Biden's sabotage, this is the one that will have the longest-lasting and most irreparable damage.

#8  It looks like there is enough proof to show the 2020 election was stolen and how it was stolen.

Will prosecutions begin in ernest?

Will the current POTUS be removed from office? Will legislation, executive orders and appointments be nullified such as this?

#4  Purely a Race / sex gender baded pick and nothing to do with selecting the best SCOTUS Justice for the seat.

Again the Bill Of Rights (our rights) will suffers to allow the LSD's agenda politics vs rights and moral norms.
