Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the incoming Supreme Court justice to replace the retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, talked about the historic significance of becoming the first Black woman to sit on the nation’s highest court. Amid applause at the White House she said, “we’ve made it.” President Biden and Vice President Harris also gave remarks. Judge Jackson went on to say this moment in history is one all Americans can take pride in. Her remarks came just one day after the Senate confirmed her in a vote of 53 to 47. Three Republican senators joined all Democrats to confirm Judge Jackson. President Biden thanked Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT) for their support. Judge Jackson was nominated in February 2022 after Justice Stephen Breyer announced he would be retiring at the end of the Court’s term in June 2022. close
