A cross-section of the nation’s legal community, including appellate advocates, law professors, and legal and political advocacy groups, largely praised the U.S. Senate’s historic confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Senate on Thursday voted 53-47 to confirm Jackson who currently sits on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She will not officially be “Justice” Jackson until she takes the judicial oath. That ceremony likely will follow quickly after Justice Stephen Breyer retires.
