WASHINGTON — Nearly three months after she won confirmation to the Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson is officially becoming a justice.
The judicial pas de deux is set to take place at noon, the moment Breyer said in a letter to President Joe Biden on Wednesday that his retirement will take effect after nearly 28 years on the nation’s highest court.The court is expected to issue its final opinions earlier Thursday in a momentous and rancorous term that included overturning Roe v. Wade’s guarantee of the right to an abortion.
Jackson, a federal judge since 2013, will be the first Black woman to serve as a justice. She will be joining three women, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett — the first time four women will serve together on the nine-member court. The Senate confirmed Jackson’s nomination in early April, by a 53-47 mostly party-line vote that included support from three Republicans.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to officially retire ThursdayIn a letter to President Biden, Breyer said that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson — who was appointed by Biden to succeed him — is “prepared to take the prescribed oaths” to become the first Black woman to serve on the court. The newest member is definitely not a biologist. Unlike Ruth whose ego made her hold on resulting in Trump getting to appoint her replacement. It is WRONG to keep people in such jobs for this long! It's stupid, and VERY DAMAGING to new generations! STOP IT!
