Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn as an associate justice to the United States Supreme Court on Thursday, making history as the first Black woman on the highest court in the nation
Jackson, 51, joins the court as its 116th member amid a time of heightened scrutiny of the court over recent decisions and the American public's low confidence in the Supreme Court."With a full heart, I accept the solemn responsibility of supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States and administering justice without fear or favor, so help me God. I am truly grateful to be part of the promise of our great Nation," Jackson said in a statement.
As a judge in DC -- where some of the most politically charged cases are filed -- Jackson issued notable rulings touching on Congress' ability to investigate the White House. As a district court judge, she wrote a 2019 opinion siding with House lawmakers who sought the testimony of then-White House Counsel Don McGahn. Last year, she was on the unanimous circuit panel that ordered disclosure of certain Trump White House documents to the House January 6 committee.
