When President Joe Biden introduced her as his nominee for the United States Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson said, "I can only hope that my life and career, my love of this country and the Constitution, will inspire future generations of Americans."
The name may be new to many Americans, but not to Antoinette Coakley, a professor at Northeastern Law; Lisa Fairfax, a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania; and Nina Simmons, a corporate lawyer. The three women met the federal court judge when they were all college freshmen at Harvard.
Coakley told CBS News, "I remember thinking, 'what we saw so many years ago is really coming to pass right now in this moment.' It was very clear from the first time that we met her that Ketanji was special. I remember telling her when we were in our dorm, 'You are going to be the first Black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court.'"
Back then, they called themselves "The Ladies." Inseparable roommates during college, they went on to become classmates at Harvard Law.
"It was, 'We're gonna make this together, we're going to help each other,'" said Simmons. "And Ketanji taught me that, when one wins, we all win."
Jackson's writing and her analytical skills earned her a spot as an editor on the prestigious Harvard Law Review. But her friends say she stood out for more than just academics.
"She's hilarious," said Coakley. "And that's something that people may not anticipate, because they're so blinded by her intellectual brilliance. A woman who stands just five feet one inch tall is poised to knock down one more barrier.
"It's so historic," said Fairfax, "because it's just another instance where we can say, 'This is the America that we all wanna be part of. The dream is possible.'"

Just another Anti-America degenerate quota hire.
At her core she is a judge who protects child molesters. Not much more needs to be told.
That’s what all Democrat nominations are.
She a ho.
I remember when cbs wrote an story like this about ACB.
Such an apt counterpoint to the hyperbole about the so special “ladies”.
Another affirmative action beneficiary.
Well, it is the party of child molesters (those not murdered via abortion) … just look at how they are reacting in Florida right now?
Pizza Gate was more probably real than probably bupkiss.
Thanks for the concise summary.
Could not have done better.
Who is Kunta Kinte?
Panicked by Scrutiny of Her Child Porn Stance
BINGO!
An easy call.
I’ll just continue to brood over the lost nomination of Janice Rogers Brown forever.
MOdern Supreme Court Justices are picked according to their skin pigment tone in the epidermis. She passes. We are all racists!
If it lives with wolves, it is probably a wolf, or a flea.
The next Associate Justice, United States Supreme Court.
Democrats advise - “Just smile, believe the lie and don’t say anything stupid. We’ll handle the rest.”
I’d rather be hated by the Left than be acceptable to them.
