Biden’s Choice for the Supreme Court is a true qualified and seasoned person; She has checked all boxes needed for that position and most of all, she would be the first black woman in the position of the Supreme Court Justice. Ketanji Brown Jackson lives with her husband, Patrick, who serves as Chief of the Division of General Surgery at Georgetown University Hospital, and two daughters, in Washington, D.C.
Ketanji Jackson followed in the footsteps of her mentor Justice Breyer by working on the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Her work there focused on reducing unwarranted sentencing disparities and ensuring that federal sentences were just and proportionate. This was the same commission Biden supported and pushed to be created while he was a senate on the floor.
Judge Jackson has an impeccable history during her career as a public defender and also as a United States District Judge for the District of Columbia from 2013 to 2021.
