Ketanji Brown Jackson to Be Sworn in as First Black Women on Supreme Court
In a ceremony the court said it will stream live on its website, Jackson will recite two oaths required of Supreme Court justices, one administered by Breyer and the other by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Biden nominated Jackson in February, a month after Breyer, 83, announced he would retire at the end of the court's term, assuming his successor had been confirmed. Breyer's earlier-than-usual announcement and the condition he attached was a recognition of the Democrats' tenuous hold on the Senate in an era of hyper-partisanship, especially surrounding federal judgeships.
"I think we all understand that people in this country don't experience life or law in the same way," says Tiffany Jeffers, a professor at Georgetown University's law school. With the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Black woman, to the Supreme Court, the historically white court might hear new perspectives, Jeffers says. Jackson, a former clerk for retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, is known for her common sense and deep belief in the U.S. Constitution.
