Episode 45: Celebrating Judge Jackson's Confirmation

<p>We are celebrating the historic and bipartisan confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the 116th Supreme Court Justice. Zinelle October, ACS executive vice president, speaks with Danielle Holley-Walker, Dean and Professor of Law of Howard Law School, and Russ Feingold, ACS president, about the significance of Judge Jackson's confirmation, while underscoring the Supreme Court's continued legitimacy crisis and need for reform. They also look back at those public hearings and the need for accountability over the despicable and racist behavior exhibited by certain senators.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">-----------------</span></p> <p><strong>Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today:</strong> <a href="https://www.acslaw.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">ACSLaw.org</a></p> <p><strong>Today's</strong> <strong>Host:</strong> Zinelle October, <a href="https://www.acslaw.org/person/zinelle-october/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">ACS Executive Vice President</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Danielle Holley-Walker, <a href= "http://law.howard.edu/faculty-staff/dean-danielle-holley-walker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dean and Professor of Law of Howard Law School</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Russ Feingold, <a href= "https://www.acslaw.org/person/russ-feingold/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">ACS President</a></p> <p><strong>Link:</strong> <a href= "https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5010288/remarks-judge-ketanji-brown-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Remarks from Ketanji Brown Jackson after her confirmation</a></p> <p><strong>Link:</strong> <a href= "https://msmagazine.com/2022/03/24/ketanji-brown-jackson-senate-republicans-racism-sexism-black-woman-supreme-court/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Dear America, Get Your Knee Off Our Necks," by Zinelle October</a></p> <p><strong>Link:</strong> <a href= "https://www.acslaw.org/press_release/acs-celebrates-the-historic-and-bipartisan-confirmation-of-judge-ketanji-brown-jackson-to-the-supreme-court/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"ACS Cel
