Ketanji Brown Jackson’s husband tearful as she begins Supreme Court nominee process

Mar 21, 2022

As Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson delivered her opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, the gravity of the moment appeared to be overwhelming for her husband, Dr Patrick Jackson. Dr Jackson was seen seated behind his wife during the proceedings and was visibly tearing up as she made her remarks. In her prepared statement, Ms Jackson thanked her husband as well as her daughters, while admitting that the stresses of a high-powered legal career didn’t “always” leave room for her to achieve the best balance between being a parent and doing her job.
