Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson praises Harris’ nomination ‘gives a lot of people hope’
becoming the first black and South Asian woman to lock down the Democratic nod for president gives people “hope.”
Then-presidential candidate Joe Biden had promised during the 2020 campaign that he’d tap a black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. He also pledged to name a woman as his VP. The 53-year-old liberal justice has been on a media tour to promote her memoir “Lovely One,” which tells the story of her upbringing and how she ascended to the highest court in the land.
Jackson also waded in on controversy surrounding whether or not the Supreme Court should have a stricter ethical code. Last year, the high court rolled out a non-binding ethics code, but critics have argued it should adopt something with more teeth to it.Kamala Harris has largely refrained from talking about her identity as a female minority thus far in the 2024 cycle.“The question is, is that going to play out? We’re still pretty early in the process,” Jackson maintained.
