History has been made today in the United States as the first black woman was confirmed to the nation's highest court. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed by the Senate in a vote of 53 to 47. The confirmation vote took place largely along party lines, as only three Republican senators bucked their party to vote yes. Justice Jackson faced a tense path to confirmation as Republican lawmakers attacked her sentencing record, claiming she would become a “judicial activist” if confirmed. She has most recently served on the US Court of Appeals and will replace outgoing Justice Stephen Breyer who is expected to retire this year after 27 years on the court.
