Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will join a Supreme Court that is both more diverse than ever and more conservative than it’s been since the 1930s.
WASHINGTON —
And the nine-member court as a whole will be younger than it’s been for nearly 30 years, when Breyer, now 83, came on board. Jackson’s replacement of Breyer, for whom she once worked as a law clerk, won’t alter that Supreme Court math. During her Senate confirmation hearings, Jackson pledged to sit out the court’s consideration of Harvard’s admissions program, since she is a member of its board of overseers. But the court could split off a second case involving a challenge to the University of North Carolina’s admissions process, which might allow her to weigh in on the issue.
