Column: On the Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson will be a symbol. But she’s also human

LA Times  

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson turns around to look at Vice President Kamala Harris during an event on the South Lawn of the White House on Friday. Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t need to show up at the Capitol on Thursday to preside over the final vote confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. President Biden and Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson watch CSPAN2 from the Roosevelt Room of the White House on Thursday as the Senate votes on her nomination to the Supreme Court. “It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States,” Jackson said.
