U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is the latest to join the pantheon of TidalWave Comics' "Female Force" series, followed by the latest appointee to the bench, Ketanji Brown Jackson. The story of Barrett, 50, begins with her 2020 U.S. Senate confirmation hearing before flashing back to her childhood in New Orleans.
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett recounted an alleged pursuit by journalists that forced her to hop a church fence during the time of her nomination and hearing for the position.
Jackson, in responding to Republican accusations that she has been soft on child pornography defendants, told the Senate Judiciary Committee during the second day of her confirmation hearing: "As a mother and a judge who has had to deal with these cases, I was thinking that nothing could be further from the truth." Jackson also said her past legal representation of detainees at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was consistent with American values of fairness.
