Former Georgia Chief Justice and GSU professor reflect on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s historic confirmation
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has been confirmed to be the 116th Supreme Court Justice.
Jackson will be the first Black woman to serve on the highest court.
On Friday’s edition of “Closer Look,” former Georgia Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears and Tanya Washington, a professor of law at Georgia State University College of Law, talked with program host Rose Scott about what Jackson’s historic confirmation means for the nation.
“She deserves this,” Sears said. “In fact, the country deserves this kind of diversity on the court. I never thought I would see this many women on the court.”
Washinton echoed Sears, saying, “We are making progress of being that more perfect union.”
Sears and Washington further discussed the obstacles that Justice Jackson has had to overcome and how they hope Jackson’s nomination and confirmation inspire the next generation of law professionals.
