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.
There were no ties to be broken. Not after three Republican senators — Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney — had promised they would join all 50 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus in backing the eminently qualified sister with sisterlocks.
But Harris showed up anyway, calling it "a point of personal privilege."
