jackson looking at her mom with such pride, i found myself thinking about parents of black girl. she sees this as a thrilling example, living proof of what is possible. a chance to turn to your child and say you are possible. thank you justice to be jackson. your accomplishment is pause for joy. from oprah who so many americans know and like. i m not here to make gigantic oprah-jackson comparisons. i would note these are two people when they are just heard from, when there s not some crazy other type of filter or other structural racism, it turns out lot of americans go great, wonderful. i think judge jackson embodied a lot of things for a lot of people. that difference can be generational. for someone like me, the nakt of this nomination is truly impressive. what she said today in just one generation her family had gone from segregation to the supreme
the path is gilded with the potential for rich returns. i m the father of a young black girl. i know how much it means for judge jackson to have navigated the double jeopardy of racism and sexism to now stand in the glory of this moment. the manufactured accusations that were thrown at her by some of our committee during our hearings not only fell flat but they have been refuted and debunked by serious voices across the political spectrum. just a couple democratic senators on the floor today on what judge ketanji brown jackson faced to make this history we have been celebrating today. just three republicans in the senate voted to confirm her to
