Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in Thursday as the 116th justice of the Supreme Court, making her the first Black woman to sit on the nation's highest court.
"With a full heart, I accept the solemn responsibility of supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States and administering justice without fear or favor, so help me God," Justice Jackson said in a statement.
"I am truly grateful to be part of the promise of our great Nation. I extend my sincerest thanks to all of my new colleagues for their warm and gracious welcome. I am also especially grateful for the time and attention given to me by the Chief Justice and by Justice Breyer."
President Biden nominated her in February after Justice Stephen Breyer announced his intent to retire at the end of the Supreme Court's term.
She was confirmed by the Senate in a 53–47 vote on April 7, winning the support of three Republican senators: Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Mitt Romney (UT).
Justice Jackson is also the first former public defender and the sixth woman to serve on the high court.
"I am glad today for Ketanji," Justice Breyer said in a release. "Her hard work, integrity, and intelligence have earned her a place on this Court. I am glad for my fellow Justices. They gain a colleague who is empathetic, thoughtful, and collegial. I am glad for America. Ketanji will interpret the law wisely and fairly, helping that law to work better for the American people, whom it serves. Congratulations Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson."

Nicholas, the illegitimate son of a retired #fencing champion, dreams of getting the chance and the training to actually compete. After getting accepted to a prestigious private school, Nicholas is thrust into a cut-throat world. Through clashes, rivalries, and romance between teammates, Nicholas and the boys of Kings Row will discover there's much more to fencing than just foils and lunges.
