BREAKING: Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmed to be the next Supreme Court Justice.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-11 to move the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the full Senate.
Biden, a veteran of a more bipartisan Senate, said from the beginning that he wanted support from both parties for his history-making nominee, and he invited Republicans to the White House as he made his decision.
“I have been a judge for nearly a decade now, and I take that responsibility and my duty to be independent very seriously,” Jackson said. “I decide cases from a neutral posture. 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.”
