This is the day the Lord has made and let us rejoice and be glad in it! Congratulations, Madam Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson! Amen!
congratz to her. She was born the correct gender and the correct race at the correct time.
@Old Kid Lol, how some people can’t write or mention anything without the socially constructed word ” race” It doesn’t exist.
@Old Kid too bad she can’t identify her gender.
Historic. Now can we all hug and kumbaya?
disagree and unbelievable anybody voted for her , this is why they should have recall elections on All politicians

Congratulations
May the Almighty God protect the new Supreme Court Justice
May we be protected from any S .C. J .who cannot distinguish between a
Man or Woman
so presumably assumes every witness has the same problem with all the consequences that has for witness testimony in many even the most
intimate of contexts.The implications for Justice(!?) are obvious

@Massudd decat you can’t recall her because she’s black
So glad she rightly deserved it,very measured and quite qualified for the job.⚖️🎉
@Old Kid Very qualified by birthright and social justice? That has to be the most ignorant thing I think I have ever read.

@Massudd decat Nice grammar. Show’s how tuned into things you are. She has more qualifications than the current Justices. Her judicial career spans longer than 4 of the justices COMBINED.
She win we all win 🏆 🙌🏿 💪🏾 ❤️
She will do great, and can finally breath a bit, holy crap it feels we just battled forever to get her to this point.
That is so odd.
Fantastic!
Ketanji Brown Jackson ( You Got The Best Of My Love ) ❤ Congratulations

The bean counters officially run the Supreme Court.
All people are created equal!
Now go and procure yourself some beans!
Soon all your kind will be paper-pushers!
She’s so much better quality of a judge than any of them that the Republicans put on there.
Oh really? On what merit?
Lindsey Graham was so mad, he had to find a reason to lie not to be in chambers 🤭… I LOVE IT…..That he definitely showed how disgruntled, and upset about it ALL he is. Don’t he know we’re watching how pissed off he is, and it’s making us laugh even MORE.
We are so grateful for this young lady that is more then qualified to do the right things for our country she is going to do a great job and our nation will benefit
How do you figure that!?!? – She blatantly refused to answer the questions Americans deserved her answers too before gaining a LIFETIME position in the SCOTUS!
He needs to retire.
