I evaluate the facts, and I interpret and apply the law to the facts of the case before me, without fear or favor, consistent with my judicial oath.” She joins two other women, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, on the liberal side of a 6-3 conservative court.

Ketanji Brown Jackson, a liberal appeals court judge, was confirmed to the supreme court on Thursday, overcoming a rancorous Senate approval process and earning ...

While she shares an elite background with the other justices, her work as a public defender sets her apart. Harris called for the final vote on Jackson’s nomination with a smile on her face, and the chamber broke into loud applause when the judge was confirmed. Democrats, and the handful of Republicans who supported her, praised her qualifications and demeanor, and in particular the restraint she showed during some stinging exchanges with conservative senators. In a mark of just how polarizing the process of confirming a supreme court nominee has become, the Senate judiciary committee deadlocked along party lines over her nomination. But it does mean for the first time in the court’s history that white men are in the minority. Breyer, for whom Jackson clerked early in her legal career, said he intends to retire from the court this summer.

A majority of senators voted to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court Thursday—in a 53-46 vote that's still ongoing—making her the first ...

Jackson’s confirmation has been widely supported by groups including multiple law enforcement organizations and the American Bar Association, whose standing committee president testified to the Senate that the ABA’s review of Jackson’s record led her to ask, “How does one human being do so much so extraordinarily well?” Nevertheless, a number of Republican senators pushed back on Jackson’s confirmation, claiming she was “soft on crime” and too lenient in her sentences for child pornography offenders—accusations that legal experts have strongly denied. A Gallup poll conducted before the Senate hearings also found support for Jackson’s confirmation (at 58%) was higher than that of any Supreme Court justice in recent history except for Chief Justice John Roberts, whose confirmation in 2005 was backed by 59% of respondents. A Morning Consult/Politico poll conducted after Jackson’s Senate confirmation hearings found 49% of respondents thought the Senate should confirm Jackson and only 26% thought it shouldn’t, which is higher than any of the three justices nominated by former President Donald Trump received upon being confirmed. Biden nominated Jackson to the Supreme Court in February after Breyer announced his retirement, fulfilling the president’s campaign pledge to name the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. Breyer’s retirement marked the first Supreme Court vacancy of Biden’s presidency, and came after the left-leaning justice had been under heavy pressure from Democrats to retire while the party controlled both the White House and Senate. Jackson will not change the court’s 6-3 conservative tilt, but the 51-year-old justice’s confirmation ensures Breyer’s seat will likely be held by a left-leaning justice for decades to come. The Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court Thursday in a 53-47 vote, making her the first Supreme Court justice President Joe Biden has had confirmed of his presidency—and the first Black woman in U.S. history to reach the high court. In addition to being the first Black woman on the court, Jackson will also be the first former public defender to serve on the high court.

Tous les élus du parti démocrate et trois sénateurs républicains modérés ont voté pour faire rentrer Ketanji Brown Jackson à la Cour suprême.

Elle ne changera toutefois pas le rapport de force au sein du prestigieux collège de neuf magistrats, dont la mission est de veiller à la constitutionnalité des lois et de trancher les importants débats de société aux Etats-Unis, comme l'avortement ou le mariage homosexuel. À la Cour suprême, Ketanji Brown Jackson remplacera le magistrat progressiste Stephen Breyer, 83 ans, qui prendra sa retraite fin juin. Tous les élus du parti démocrate et trois sénateurs républicains modérés ont voté pour faire rentrer cette brillante juriste de 51 ans dans le temple américain du droit.

Impossible de sous-estimer l'importance historique de la nomination de cette femme noire, juge fédérale, à la plus haute juridiction des Etats-Unis.

« Il faut faire la part des choses entre mon calcul politique et la question de savoir si cette femme [Jackson] est qualifiée pour servir », a-t-elle déclaré. Classieux. « Le dernier juge Jackson s’était mis en congé de la Cour suprême pour aller à Nuremberg poursuivre les nazis. « Toute personne accusée de comportement criminel par le gouvernement, quelle que soit sa richesse et la nature des accusations, a droit à l’assistance d’un avocat », a-t-elle rappelé. A travers son époux, elle est une lointaine parente du républicain Paul Ryan, qui fut le speaker (président) de la Chambre des Représentants de 2015 à 2019. Ketanji Brown Jackson, 51 ans, a grandi à Miami (Floride). Sa mère était prof dans le public, son père, avocat, l’un de ses oncles, chef de la police de la ville. Au bout du compte, trois sénateurs républicains ont décidé de voter en faveur de sa confirmation.

Elle rejoindra cette fois trois autres femmes, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan et Amy Coney Barrett – ce qui signifie que pour la première fois de l’histoire américaine, quatre des neuf juges à la Cour suprême seront des femmes. Au cours des quatre jours d’audiences du Sénat, le mois dernier, Mme Jackson a parlé des luttes menées par ses parents contre la ségrégation raciale. Lorsque Mme Harris a annoncé le résultat du vote, la chambre haute a éclaté en des acclamations qui ont résonné au-delà de ses portes.

The Supreme Court is in desperate need of a boost in public confidence that it simply doesn't have.

Or will she use her perch to dissent from a Supreme Court that has gone off the rails and crossed the Rubicon, as close observers of the Court have warned? Will she grin and bear it, as she did under the glare of Ted Cruz and other Republicans who caricatured her record? Jackson’s own impressive level of public support may well rub off on a Supreme Court that doesn’t deserve it—and that, as of last year, Americans didn’t hold in very high regard. And how isolated, once again, Chief Justice John Roberts appears, joining the three more liberal justices to criticize how the majority is twisting the rules to get its way. What might have been soul-crushing and hard to watch for the many Black women who were rooting for her turned out to be an asset, or a feather in her cap, as Jackson’s star rose ever higher as Republican senators sank lower and lower—debasing themselves with suggestions or accusations that she’s a critical race theorist, a jurist with a murky “ judicial philosophy,” and a person who doesn’t treat the role of sentencing with the gravity the practice deserves. But the Supreme Court is also in desperate need of a boost in public confidence that it simply doesn’t have.

US Senate confirms Jackson to the Supreme Court in what Democratic Party leader calls 'joyous day' for the country.

I evaluate the facts, and I interpret and apply the law to the facts of the case before me, without fear or favour, consistent with my judicial oath.” “Judge Jackson is in every sense and by all measures a brilliant jurist.” Republicans spent the hearings interrogating Jackson’s sentencing record on the federal bench, including the sentences she handed down in child pornography cases, which they argued were too light. She will become the first Black woman and the first former public defender to bear the title of Supreme Court Justice. “This is a wonderful day, a joyous day and an inspiring day for the Senate with the Supreme Court and for the United States of America,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said. Beyond breaking barriers as the first Black woman on the bench, 51-year-old Jackson also is now only the third Black American ever to serve as a Supreme Court justice.

Joe Biden speaks of 'historic moment for our nation' as Democrats give standing ovation after judge's ascent to supreme court.

Barack Obama, America’s first Black president, tweeted congratulations to Jackson and wrote: “This is a great day for America, and a proud moment in our history.” “I could not be more proud to have Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on the bench. Representation matters, and little Black girls everywhere will finally be able to see themselves represented on the highest court of the land. Janette McCarthy Wallace, general counsel of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said: “Today, Black women truly are supreme. Wallace added: “Representation is powerful – now, Black women and girls who dream of reaching the highest levels of our government can see that it is possible. Judge Jackson is one of the most experienced nominees in decades.”

Depuis la Maison-Blanche, le président américain, Joe Biden, a salué pour sa part un « jour historique », qui vient au final remplir une de ses promesses électorales faites durant la campagne de 2020. Cette succession ne change toutefois en rien l’équilibre des forces au sein du plus haut tribunal du pays, toujours contrôlé à six magistrats contre trois par les conservateurs. Jeudi, le vote confirmant la nomination de Ketanji Brown Jackson à la Cour suprême a été accueilli avec exaltation par le chef de la majorité démocrate au Sénat, Chuck Schumer. « C’est une journée merveilleuse, une journée joyeuse, une journée inspirante, pour le Sénat, pour la Cour suprême et pour les États-Unis d’Amérique », a-t-il dit. Pour le sociologue Martin Orr, de la Boise State University, ce processus d’audition et de confirmation de la juge n’a fait rien de plus que de confirmer que le « complotisme s’ancre de plus en plus dans les discours contemporains », dit-il depuis l’Idaho, où Le Devoir l’a joint, et ce, « avec le risque potentiel de voir les tentatives de résoudre des problèmes communs contrecarrées par la diabolisation des opposants politiques ». Pour sa part, le sénateur Tom Cotton de l’Arkansas a prétendu que si elle le pouvait, Ketanji Brown Jackson irait à Nuremberg pour « défendre les nazis » plutôt que de les poursuivre comme l’avait fait un autre « Jackson », le juge Robert H. Jackson, en quittant la Cour suprême en 1946 pour devenir procureur en chef des États-Unis dans ce procès historique. La confirmation jeudi par le Sénat américain de la juge Ketanji Brown Jackson à la Cour suprême vient de marquer l’histoire en ouvrant la porte de la plus haute institution judiciaire des États-Unis à une première femme afro-américaine.

Alexis Karteron of Rutgers University-Newark notes that the Harvard Law-trained Jackson went on to clerk for Stephen Breyer, the retiring justice she is set to replace. I believe having a Supreme Court justice who is familiar with that is incredibly valuable.” Questions directed at the would-be Supreme Court justice were, according to Russell, tantamount to race-baiting. … The criminal justice system takes an enormous toll on both the people in the system and their loved ones. Now confirmed as the next Supreme Court justice, Jackson has broken through the ultimate glass ceiling in terms of legal careers. Of the judges highlighted by Austin, there is Judge Jane Bolin, who became the country’s first Black female judge in 1939, serving as a domestic relations judge in New York for almost four decades. But shortly after 2 p.m. EDT on April 7, 2022, a Senate roll call confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson as the next U.S. Supreme Court justice – the first Black woman to sit on the bench. “Are you prejudiced against white people in the South?” Marshall was asked by a known white supremacist senator. “But he died before seeing the results of his nonviolent movement for social justice.” The Senate Judiciary Committee vote moving Jackson’s confirmation toward a final Senate roll call took place on April 4, 2022 – 54 years to the day since Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Bev-Freda Jackson argues that this is a distortion. Republican lawmakers suggested that his vision of an America in which people are judged “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” was at odds with critical race theory, a concept much maligned by conservatives that holds that racism is structural in nature rather than expressed solely through personal bias.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed Thursday by a 53-47 vote in the Senate.

No one was surprised that Antonin Scalia turned out to be a strict constructionist of the intent of the founders who wrote the Constitution and a reliable conservative vote. No one was astonished that Ruth Bader Ginsburg went on to become a crusader for women’s rights and a hero of the left. The political humourist Peter Finley Dunne, writing under the pseudonym Mr. Dooley, argued in a faux Irish-American brogue in 1901 that “th’ Supreme Coort follows th’ iliction returns.” Republicans believe the way the Democrats doomed Ronald Reagan’s 1987 nomination of Robert Bork represented the contemporary opening of this judicial warfare. Mr. Hatch, now retired, often said he was proud of his vote for Judge Ginsburg. “They were bipartisan votes focused on the nominees’ qualifications.” Judge Jackson was confirmed Thursday by a 53-47 vote in the Senate, with only three Republicans supporting the 51-year-old who is to become the first Black woman on the nation’s highest court. Major issues repeatedly come to the floor and often are disposed of with votes that reflect, with some minor deviations, the 50-50 party division that gives Vice President Kamala Harris the power to break a tie in the Democrats’ favour. Of the three, only Ms. Murkowski faces the voters this autumn, and Mr. Trump has vowed to help defeat her. Ideology was mentioned – the nominees’ votes on substantial issues often were foreshadowed – but were seldom the deciding factor. She was nominated by a Democratic president and that was enough.” Democrats overwhelmingly supported the confirmation of Judge Jackson, according to a YouGov survey that found that Republicans overwhelmingly opposed her confirmation.

Elle rejoindra cette fois trois autres femmes, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan et Amy Coney Barrett – ce qui signifie que pour la première fois de l’histoire américaine, quatre des neuf juges à la Cour suprême seront des femmes.

Lorsque Mme Harris a annoncé le résultat du vote, la chambre haute a éclaté en des acclamations qui ont résonné au-delà de ses portes.

With perhaps three decades of service on the supreme court ahead, KBJ's perspective and influence could be profound.

Farrell said that such an impact is likely to be especially apparent in criminal justice cases, given Jackson’s spell as a former federal public defender – making her the only justice in supreme court history to have represented defendants. That gives Jackson possibly three decades or more of service on the supreme court, over which timespan the fortunes of the liberal wing might improve. “She never cuts corners, she holds herself and others to a higher standard, and that will have an influence on the language and scope of opinions.” At 51 she is the youngest of all the justices other than Amy Coney Barrett, a year her junior. Far from it, she will bring to the bench a wealth of real-world knowledge and a personal narrative that no other justice can match. By replacing a fellow liberal, Stephen Breyer, she will effectively leave the current 6 to 3 conservative dominance of the court unchanged.

Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Jackson are each set to deliver remarks Friday from the South Lawn of the White House.

Breyer, who announced his retirement in January, has said he intends to finish the Supreme Court term, which will probably end in late June or early July. But with Collins, Romney and Murkowski bucking their party to support Biden's nominee, the White House was able to avoid a potential tie in the evenly divided Senate. Psaki said she wasn't aware of any additional testing, social distancing or masking requirements that will be taken for the ceremony. Three Republicans – Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Mitt Romney of Utah – joined all 50 Democratic senators to confirm the 116th justice. As Biden struggles with low approval numbers, Jackson's confirmation marks a major victory for him and his party. The Senate voted 53-47 Thursday to confirm Jackson, a U.S. appeals court judge for the D.C. district.

The confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on Thursday was as noteworthy for what it didn't change as for what it did.

Madison’s push for a federal “negative” on state legislation — a congressional veto on any state law that contravened “in the opinion of the national legislature the articles of union” — was in essence an attempt to put the power of judicial review into the hands of an elected and representative body, rather than an unelected tribunal. Instead, it emerged organically out of the legal culture of the American colonies and was written, implicitly, into the federal Constitution. What Marshall did was to give shape to the practice of judicial review, as well as navigate the court through its first major conflict with the executive branch, leaving its power and authority intact, if not enhanced. The Times is committed to publishing a diversity of letters to the editor. But rather than marginal and oppressed minorities, this court will turn its attention to the interests and prerogatives of powerful political minorities — you might call them factions — that seek to dominate others free of federal interference. “Once the framers decided to turn to the courts to ensure the supremacy of federal law over state law,” Nelson writes, “they inevitably delegate to those courts jurisdiction to determine the meaning of federal law. His argument, and the claim that would presage the practice of judicial review as we came to understand it, was that the act itself violated the “Fundamental Principles of Law.” One delegate, John Dickinson of Pennsylvania, thought “no power ought such exist.” John Mercer of Maryland, likewise, said that he “disapproved of the Doctrine that the Judges as expositors of the Constitution should have the authority to declare a law void.” And James Madison, the most influential figure at the convention, thought the practice would make “the Judiciary Department paramount in fact to the Legislature, which was never intended and can never be proper.” And although the delegates did not discuss judicial review at length during the convention, it was this decision that essentially guaranteed the Supreme Court would develop something like it. When judges and juries “exercised power to determine the law, they sometimes used their power to nullify legislation, even acts of Parliament, and to refuse obedience to other commands of Crown authorities,” the legal historian William E. Nelson explains in “ Marbury v. In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote that by “granting relief” to the plaintiffs in the case without a demonstration of “irreparable harm,” the court went “astray.” We should expect to see it continue on that mistaken path. To begin with, judicial review (or something like it) had been part of the Anglo-American legal tradition for decades before Marbury. In Virginia, Massachusetts and other colonies, juries and judges held considerable power to say what the law was and even overturn laws handed down from legislatures and other authorities. The traditional view is that the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review grew out of Chief Justice John Marshall’s decision in 1803’s Marbury v.

A White House official said Jackson will remain on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit until then but will continue to recuse herself from cases. Vice president Kamala Harris was to attend and deliver remarks, though she was identified on Wednesday as a close contact of a staffer who tested positive. Breyer is to step down after the court concludes its current term, which is usually in late June or early July. Only then will she take the oath to become an associate justice. However, the event comes amid a COVID-19 outbreak among Washington's political class that has sidelined members of Biden's administration and lawmakers, including Maine Sen. Susan Collins and Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, who tested positive for the virus just hours after voting for Brown's confirmation. "She will be an incredible Justice, and I was honored to share this moment with her." The move helped resurrect his flailing campaign and preserved his pathway to the White House.

Jackson, the first Black woman ever confirmed to the US Supreme Court, says her appointment is 'honour of a lifetime'.

Of course, this is a historic occasion, but the president [is] also hoping to seize some momentum politically on this.” “After more than 20 hours of questioning at her hearing[s] and nearly 100 meetings … we all saw the kind of justice she’ll be,” he added. In my family, it took just one generation to go from segregation to the Supreme Court of the United States,” she said. The ceremony came a day after the US Senate voted 53-47 in favour of Jackson’s nomination, making her not only the first Black woman to serve as Supreme Court justice, but also only the third Black American to join the high court. We have come a long way toward perfecting our union. “And it is an honour – the honour of a lifetime – for me to have this chance to join the court, to promote the rule of law at the highest level, and to do my part to carry our shared project of democracy and equal justice under law forward into the future.”

Tearfully embracing a history-making moment for the nation, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said Friday her confirmation as the first Black woman to the Supreme ...

A White House official said Jackson will remain on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit until then but will continue to recuse herself from cases. Biden nominated her on the second anniversary of his pledge ahead of the South Carolina presidential primary to select a Black woman for the court. Breyer is to step down after the court concludes its current term, which is usually in late June or early July. Only then will she take the oath to become an associate justice. The White House said all current and former justices of the Supreme Court were invited, but none attended. Harris delivered remarks, though she was identified on Wednesday as a close contact of a staffer who tested positive. While not all attendees would be newly tested for the virus, Psaki said those close to Biden would be. The event came amid a COVID-19 outbreak among Washington's political class that has sidelined members of Biden's administration and lawmakers, including Collins and Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, who tested positive for the virus just hours after voting for Brown's confirmation. Biden may not get another chance. Jackson's arrival on the bench won't upend the current 6-3 conservative balance. “We have come a long way toward perfecting our union,” she said. “But we've made it. We've made it, all of us.”

Those three Republicans will not be attending the event Friday as Collins has tested positive for Covid and Murkowski is in Alaska for an event and a spokesperson for Romney said he was not going. Republican senators accused Jackson of being soft on crime, attacking her sentencing record as well as her time as a defense attorney. Jackson will not become a justice until the end of the court's current term — likely in June or July — when Justice Stephen Breyer is expected to step down, and Biden makes good on a major campaign promise to put the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.
