US makes history as Ketanji Brown Jackson is sworn in as the first Black woman to serve on Supreme Court
Jackson joins the top court at a time when its conservative majority has been flexing its muscles in major rulings.
"I am truly grateful to be part of the promise of our great Nation. I extend my sincerest thanks to all of my new colleagues for their warm and gracious welcome." "As Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson takes her seat on the Supreme Court, our nation takes a historic step toward realising our highest ideals," Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in Congress, said in a statement.
While her confirmation is a milestone, it won't change the 6-3 conservative majority on the court, which has come under fire for recent rulings broadening the right to bear arms, eviscerating abortion rights and limiting the government's power to curb greenhouse gases. Crucially, it has allowed Biden to show the Black voters who rescued his floundering 2020 primary campaign that he can deliver for them.
