BREAKING: The Senate has confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, making her the first Black woman in history to be confirmed to the nation's highest court.
Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson listens to a question during her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Tuesday, March 22, 2022, in Washington.Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the 116th Supreme Court
All 50 Senate Democrats, including the two independents who caucus with them, voted for Jackson's confirmation. They were joined by three Republicans: Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. During her hearing before the Senate Judiciary committee, Republicans attacked Jackson as a partisan and leaned heavily on culture war fights rather than inquiries concerning the nominee's qualifications.
Jackson, 51, served eight years as a federal trial court judge and last June was confirmed for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Breyer, 83, was appointed to the court by then-President Bill Clinton in 1994 to replace retiring justice Harry Blackmun.
