Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden's first Supreme Court pick, has been sworn in as the 116th justice. She is the first Black woman to serve on the nation's high court.
-
The vote on the historic nomination was 53 to 47, with three Republicans voting with Democrats. When sworn in this summer, Jackson will be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.
-
Democrats hold narrow control of the Senate and have pledged to confirm Jackson — who would be the first Black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court — by April 8.

If Biden's Supreme Court nominee gets any GOP votes, it's pretty clear by the bitterness displayed during her confirmation hearing they likely won't come from Republicans on the Judiciary Committee.
