President Joe Biden goes to hug Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as they watch the Senate vote on her confirmation from the Roosevelt Room of the White House. / PHOTO: AP ( Headline USA ) The Senate confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on Thursday, delivering a much-needed win for President Joe Biden with help from three RINO senators.
Jackson, who will take her seat when Justice Stephen Breyer retires this summer, joined Biden at the White House to watch the vote, the two embracing as it came in.
The new justice’s elevation is not likely to alter the court’s idealogical makeup significantly, with Jackson replacing the consistently left-voting Breyer in the court’s three-person liberal voting bloc.
But her extremist views in support of judicial activism and a record of going soft on criminals undoubtedly will shape the court over time—potentially for decades to come—as far-left groups like Justice Democrats , which has endorsed radical court-packing, find their first success in exerting activist pressure on the Democrat administration.
Once sworn in, Jackson, 51, will be the second youngest member of the court after Barrett, 50. She will join a court on which no one is yet 75, the first time that has happened in nearly 30 years.
However, focus from the extreme—and sometimes violent —Left may now shift to court elder-stateman Clarence Thomas , 73, largely considered its most conservative justice, who recently spent an extended stay in a hospital with an undisclosed illness.
Jackson, an appeals court judge with nine years experience on the federal bench, was confirmed 53-47, with the support of GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
