Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has been confirmed by the Senate and will make history as the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, reports LGBTQ Nation.
The Senate voted 53-47 to confirm Jackson, with all 50 Democrats voting yes, accompanied by three Republicans, Senators Mitt Romney (UT), Lisa Murkowski (AK), and Susan Collins (ME).
“LGBTQ rights are under attack all across this country, and today’s confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court is a critical step to ensure our hard-won progress is not reversed by those using the courts to fight outdated culture wars,” said GLAAD’s president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis.
