WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. Senate has confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court in 53-47 vote, securing her place as the first Black woman on the high court. and giving President Joe Biden a bipartisan endorsement for his historic pick.  Jackson, will replace Justice Stephen Breyer when he retires this summer. While the vote was far from the overwhelming bipartisan confirmations for Breyer and other justices in decades past, it was still a significant bipartisan accomplishment for Biden in the narrow 50-50 Senate after GOP senators aggressively worked to paint Jackson as too liberal.
