Ketanji Brown Jackson will be sworn in as a judge in the US Supreme Court on Thursday. She then becomes historic as the first black woman in the post.
Brown Jackson, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, called, after being approved by the Senate in April, the mission “an honor of a lifetime.”
– It took 232 years and 115 appointments before a black woman was elected to the Supreme Court. But we made it. “We did it, everyone,” said Brown Jackson.
However, she takes up her new position during a stormy time – just days after HD’s decision to abolish the right to abortion in the country, which led to protests and reactions that spread far beyond the United States.
Jackson is sworn in as one of the court’s nine judges on Thursday at 5 pm, Swedish time. She replaces the liberal Stephen Breyer.
