..."After the ceremony, Jackson said in a statement, "With a full heart, I accept the solemn responsibility of supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States and administering justice without fear or favor, so help me God. I am truly grateful to be part of the promise of our great Nation. I extend my sincerest thanks to all of my new colleagues for their warm and gracious welcome."
She also singled out Breyer, who hired her as a clerk in 1999, calling him a "personal friend and mentor of mine."
Breyer said Jackson's "hard work, integrity, and intelligence have earned her a place on this Court."
"I am glad for my fellow Justices," he added. "They gain a colleague who is empathetic, thoughtful, and collegial. I am glad for America. Ketanji will interpret the law wisely and fairly, helping that law to work better for the American people, whom it serves."
Roberts said a formal investiture ceremony will be held for Jackson in the fall, but her swearing-in Thursday enables her to get to work on the court in the meantime."
