26 december 2024 в 21:37
Ketanji Brown Jackson became the first black woman to serve as a Supreme Court justice. After taking office in June 2022, she became part of the Democratic minority of judges serving on the court. Since becoming a Supreme Court justice, Jackson, according to SCOTUSBlog, has been the most talkative of all nine justices on the bench.
Ketanji was a nominee for Supreme Court justice by President Joe Biden to replace Justice Stephen Breyer. In addition to her historic position, she is also a loving mother. She shares two daughters with her husband Patrick Jackson. Throughout the process, she always tried to make her children understand how important they are to her. «You are the light of my life. Please know that no matter what title I hold or job I do, I will always be your mother. That will never change», - she said when news of her appointment became known in February.
When Jackson took office as a Supreme Court justice on June 30, 2022, both of her daughters were there to support her, and they looked especially proud of their mother. The girls were also mentioned (along with their father Patrick Jackson) by Chief Justice John Roberts before he administered the oath to their mother. «I would like to acknowledge Dr. Patrick Jackson, who is here, her husband, and her daughters Talia and Leila», - he said.
During the first day of her confirmation hearing as a Supreme Court justice on March 22, she addressed her daughters directly (via CNN). «Girls, I know I haven’t always found it easy to balance the demands of my career and motherhood», - she said with love. «And I fully acknowledge that I haven’t always found the balance. But I hope you have seen that with hard work, determination, and love, it can be done». That’s all you need to know about the two young ladies who hold a special place in Ketanji’s heart.
Talia Jackson — Ketanji’s eldest daughter. Talia is currently in college, but she was able to take the time to support her mother by attending the first day of Ketanji’s confirmation hearing at the Supreme Court. She was stylish, dressed in a black dress with a floral print, as she watched her mother speak. Ketanji’s address at today’s hearing was not the first time she directly addressed the fact that she is a parent to her two daughters.
Leila Jackson — Ketanji’s youngest daughter. She has proven to have many ambitions. She was in a lavender suit when she sat next to her older sister at the confirmation hearings for her mother. A photo of her at her mother’s confirmation hearings went viral in 2022, according to Teen Vogue. The teenager had long imagined this day. When she was 11 years old, she wrote a letter to Barack Obama, according to Heavy, asking him to «consider my mother Ketanji Brown Jackson from the district court as a candidate for Supreme Court justice»
