Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

With her confirmation as a Supreme Court Justice by the full United States Senate, Ketanji Brown Jackson made history.

She's the first Protestant to join the Court since 1981. 😃

Oh yeah, and the first black woman to join the Court, as well as the third black justice overall (unless noted Oreo cookie Clarence Thomas doesn't count).   I'm sure she will be a very prudent justice and offer wise counsel and opinions for years.  For much of that time, though, she'll be in the minority, as that six-member conservative bloc is bound to come down on the side of corporations, polluters (the same thing as corporations, really), evangelicals, gun-rights advocates, homophobic bakery owners, and transsexual-haters with an iron fist (although Chief Justice John Roberts will likely surprise us, though Clarence Thomas won't).  She'll only have two women on her side, and neither one of them will be Amy Coney Barrett.  The 47 Senate Republicans who voted against Mrs. Jackson (and walked out of the Senate chamber once Mrs. Jackson was confirmed) have promised to deny President Biden a nomination to fill a second Supreme Court vacancy if the GOP wins back the Senate in November, and they plan to ensure a right-wing majority that will be set in concrete.

And a Republican Congress will likely try to impeach and remove Mrs. Jackson.  

Come October 3, she will have a rocky road ahead of her.
