She has gone through two judicial confirmations in the past ten years, but the Senate has changed quickly. In 2012, after Obama nominated her to become a federal district-court judge, one of the people who introduced her at her hearings was then, who is a relative of hers by marriage. “I am here to serve as a character witness,” Ryan told the senators. “Now, our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji’s intellect, for her character, for her integrity—it is unequivocal.
Jackson may have to be confirmed without a single Republican vote. The confirmation hearing will likely include insinuations that Jackson, by assisting in submitting briefs about habeas corpus for Guantánamo prisoners when she was an assistant federal public defender, aided terrorist causes—rather than aiding the cause of making sure that the Constitution operates for everybody.
And she had other people to thank, including the late Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman to serve as a federal judge—with whom, she said, she shared a birthday—and Breyer, who “exemplified in every day, in every way, that a Supreme Court Justice can perform at the highest level of skill and integrity while also being guided by civility, grace, pragmatism, and generosity of spirit.
Jackson’s confirmation will not change the current balance on the Court, with its six conservatives and three liberals. But it is highly significant. Breyer is eighty-three, just a few years younger than Ruth Bader Ginsburg was when she died. Jackson is fifty-one; in the thirty years that she may sit on the Court, the ideological equation will undoubtedly change, and change again.
