"It’s official: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be a Supreme Court justice, following a 53-47 confirmation vote in the Senate on Thursday.

Why it matters: She’ll be the first Black female justice in the court’s history, and the first justice to have served as a public defender. But as a member of the court’s diminished liberal wing, Jackson will likely be on the losing end of a lot of big cases for a long time.

The big picture: Notwithstanding a circus-like confirmation hearing, Jackson’s nomination has been smooth. Her confirmation was never really in doubt, and she secured some bipartisan support. Republican Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney all voted to confirm her."
