Ketanji Brown Jackson says people approach her with "a profound sense of pride" over her SCOTUS appointment. Jackson, the first Black woman to sit on the court, made the remarks after her investiture ceremony.

The ramifications of the decision has been stark, with many states instituted near-total abortion bans, while some have expanded abortion rights. In joining the court, Jackson has succeeded Stephen Breyer, who sat on the court from 1994 until his formal retirement in June.
