Ketanji Brown Jackson may have been confirmed by the Senate multiple times, including recently as a federal appeals court judge, but that won’t make her path to the Supreme Court much easier if statements from Senate Republicans are any indication.
The federal appeals court judge was nominated by President Joe Biden to the Supreme Court on Friday, becoming the first Black woman to be nominated to the high court. Her nomination was met with mixed reactions on Capitol Hill as Democrats heaped praise on her and Republicans lamented that Mr Biden had not gone with a nominee suggested by some of their members.
