The United States Senate confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court today. It is a notable event because she is the first woman of African descent to become a Supreme Court Justice.
Jackson will likely take office in June or July 2022. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will host an event to celebrate this historic confirmation on the White House South Lawn tomorrow.
Update-Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice at noon today, June 30, 2022, just minutes after her mentor Justice Stephen G. Breyer, makes his retirement official.
