Ketanji Brown Jackson is President Biden’s nominee for the Supreme Court; she will be the first black woman to sit on the highest court in the nation. Jackson has received and is accepting  Biden’s offer. At the beginning of February, Biden conducted an interview with Ketanji Jackson; he was impressed with her rise from being a public defender and transition to a federal appellate judge.   

 In a CNN article, the reporter quoted Biden’s remark towards Jackson, and in short, he talks about how the Supreme Court does not look like America. He is referring to the lack of diversity in big government positions. Jackson’s current position is on DC’s federal appellate court, and now, she is the frontrunner for vacancy ever since Justice Breyer announced his retirement. 

 Even though Jackson is joining the Supreme Court, that does not change how the Supreme Court functions. CNN describes Ketanji Jackson’s nomination as historical; she is up for the liberal position Breyer left behind, while there are still six other conservative Justices. 

 Talking with sophomore Deziah Vick, she says, “Women, especially black women, should have the same rights as men, when it comes to running this country.” Students at Millbrook could argue that Ketanji  Jackson joining the Supreme Court could be revolutionary.

 Speaking with junior Pierson McCallum he says, “She seems very determined to inspire change for many people but also upholding the laws of the constitution.” America is prepared for a change in the nation and is excited for Brown to join the Supreme Court.
