We’re on the third day of the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings.
The Supreme Court nominee has been asked about everything from her legal record, to her views on faith and politics.
Democrats have emphasized the historic nature of her nomination. If approved, she would be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
But what about the rest of the judiciary?
One study found nearly half of all states do not have a single justice sitting on their high courts who is Black, Asian, Latino, or Native American.
How diverse are America’s courtrooms – and why does it matter?

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel They are chosen by white males... fairly simple answer but true.

This is real progress but continued progress takes time. I am convinced this will continue as we see individuals like Judge Jackson who are so brilliant and patient

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
SP5 Dennis Loberger She is Definitely Much More Tolerant and Patient than I Am. I Can think of a Few Republican Senators that I would have told to "FOD".
