I hope she has a hard shell because the group she's going to be working with are detested by a majority of Americans.
The Supreme court she's joining has the worst popularity ratings the institution has ever experienced. Only 25% of Americans have confidence in SCOTUS. The prior low was 34%. In other words, only one in four Americans believe the Supreme Court is legitimate and trustworthy.
It's like joining the infamous Chicago "Black Sox" baseball team the summer after they were caught cheating. Getting respect will take years and a new generation - or court in Jackson's case.
A new term begins in three months.
Jackson's supporters say that her time serving on the low courts has prepared her for the high court and a divided multi-member body.
The point is she's not going into the job with her eyes closed. She's fully aware of the conservative takeover but believes she can make a difference someday.
By all reports, Jackson is looking forward to her career. I wish her all the best in her fight for justice.
