US Senate confirms Ketanji Brown Jackson's appointment to the Supreme Court

The full US Senate voted 53-47 in favor of confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's appointment to the Supreme Court on Thursday. Jackson, who makes history as the first Black woman and the first public defender to serve on the highest US court, will replace Justice Stephen Breyer when he officially retires this summer at the end of the term, per The Associated Press.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE: I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT OF 4 STATES IN MY LIFETIME; MASS., R.I., CA., AND GA.

ALL 8 SENATORS VOTED FOR THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO SERVE ON THE SCOTUS. SOMETIMES THE GOOD GUYS DO WIN ONE.

BELOW ARE TWO POSTS I PUBLISHED JUST BEFORE, AND JUST AFTER THE 2020 RUN OFF ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA FOR 2 U.S. SENATOR SEATS.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA, ON THE EVE OF THE 2020 RUNOFF ELECTION.

I WAS A GEORGIA RESIDENT FOR 5+ YEARS, AS AN UNDERGRADUATE AT VALDOSTA 

STATE COLLEGE. (NOW UNIV.)

I REMEMBER THE KIDDING I RECEIVED IN THE DORMS AS A "YANK", BUT I LEARNED

VERY QUICKLY THAT THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA WERE KIND AND WELCOMING, WHO 

TREATED ME, AND OTHER STUDENTS FROM OUTSIDE THE REGION, WITH RESPECT AND

 TOLERANCE. 

THIS INCLUDED FELLOW STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS WELCOMING ME INTO THEIR 

HOMES DURING HOLIDAY RECESSES AT VSC, WHEN RETURNING TO MY HOME IN MASS.

WOULD BE A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. 

GEORGIA, THE HATE AND IGNORANCE OF DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES IS NOT 

YOU. THE LOVE OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND BEHAVIOR THAT IS DIGNIFIED AND 

HONORABLE SHOULD BE YOUR LEGACY. DON'T LET DONALD TRUMP AND HIS 

CANDIDATES SHAPE THE DESTINY OF YOUR GREAT STATE.

WITH GRATITUDE AND RESPECT,

DAVID MCDONALD.

TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA: CONGRATULATIONS FROM A "YANK."

TO RAPHAEL WARNOCK AND JON OSSOFF. 

(MY APOLOGIES, I MEAN SENATOR WARNOCK AND SENATOR OSSOFF.)

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR HISTORIC VICTORIES. I HOPE YOU WILL

LIVE UP TO THE HONOR THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA HAVE BESTOWED UPON YOU.

PERHAPS YOU CAN REMIND SOME "YANK" SENATORS WHAT IT MEANS TO STAND

UP TO CORRUPT "WANNABE" DICTATORS BEFORE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO WREAK 

HAVOC ON OUR CONSTITUTION.

DAVID.
