KBJ POTUS DAY

Submitted by ub on

Following a contentious GOP act of politics Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson becomes the first Black woman Justice.

Did 47 Republican Senators vote no on KBJ's nomination because they're afraid of the court representing what America actually looks like, or are they a group of racist, sexist bigots?

President Joe Biden is finally got his bipartisan endorsement for a historic pick. Three Republican senators Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Mitt Romney of Utah voted for Jackson to replace Justice Stephen Breyer when he retires this summer. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/nothing-but-political-grandstan…

Jackson, a 51-year-old federal appeals court judge, would be just the third Black justice, after Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, and the sixth woman. She would join two other women, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, on the liberal side of a 6-3 conservative court.
