WATCH LIVE: Ketanji Brown Jackson to be sworn in as first Black woman on U.S. Supreme Court
WASHINGTON — Nearly three months after she won confirmation to the Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson will be sworn in as the court’s 116th justice on Thursday.The switch takes place at noon, the moment Breyer said in a letter to President Joe Biden that his retirement will take effect after nearly 28 years on the nation’s highest court. In a ceremony streamed live on the court’s website.
Biden nominated Jackson in February, a month after Breyer, 83, announced he would retire at the end of the court’s term, assuming his successor had been confirmed. Breyer’s earlier-than-usual announcement and the condition he attached was a recognition of the Democrats’ tenuous hold on the Senate in an era of hyper-partisanship, especially surrounding federal judgeships.
She has been in a sort of judicial limbo ever since, remaining a judge on the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., but not hearing any cases. Biden elevated her to that court from the district judgeship to which she was appointed by President Barack Obama.
