Ketanji Brown Jackson vows neutral stance on US top court
Aljazeera says United States President Joe Biden’s nominee to the country’s highest court Ketanji Brown Jackson has defended her nearly decade-long record as a federal judge as one of independence and fairness.
“I decide cases from neutral posture,” Jackson told a US Senate committee on Monday, as she responded to Republican lawmakers’ accusations of political bias.
“I evaluate the facts and I interpret and apply the law to the facts of the case before me without fear or favour, consistent with my judicial oath.”
In opening statements to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will be voting on whether to confirm Jackson’s nomination, Democrats defended her credentials and hailed her nomination to be the first Black female justice on the Supreme Court.
