Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Ketanji Brown Jackson says Roe v Wade is ‘settled law'” – below is their description.
Facing senators’ questions for the first time, Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was asked by Senator Dianne Feinstein if she agreed with statements that Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett made about abortion law precedent during their confirmation hearings. President Joe Biden’s nominee said that she agreed and added that ‘Roe and Casey’, two landmark Supreme Court decisions legalising abortion, are ‘settled law’ that has been reaffirmed by the court and ‘relied upon’. Jackson is making history as the first Black woman nominated for the court, which once upheld racial segregation in America and for 233 years has been filled mainly with white men.
