Let’s honor two women: Janet Sobel and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Am I right in assuming most of us can identify the second woman?

So who’s the first one?

She’s Janet Sobel (May 31, 1893 -1968), a Ukrainian-American painter who fled to the USA after her parents were assassinated. Her drip paintings influenced Jackson Pollack.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is the first Black woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court. Yippee! It’s about time. 

Paul Ryan, a Republican and Former Speaker of the House tweeted, “Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji’s intellect, for her character, and for her integrity, is unequivocal.” 

Republican Maine Senator Susan Collins said,”“Ketanji Brown Jackson is an experienced federal judge with impressive academic and legal credentials.”

Wake up, you other Republicans.

Well done, President Biden.
