The question of can you marry this other person depended upon what your race was. You could marry the other person if it was the same, consistent with your race. You couldn't if you couldn't. I take your law to be doing basically the same thing. You can get these blockers if doing so is consistent with your sex, but not if it's inconsistent. How are they different?
Female empowerment.
I'm so excited to be here. This has been a dream of mine. Tonight, we have a very special guest, Supreme Court Justice Katonji Brown Jackson!
It's a story about female empowerment and, you know, women's ability to do what they want to do to control their own destiny. I think it's a wonderful message and obviously very fun. Other justices actually have done somewhat similar things.
I just also think it's very important to remind people that justices are human beings, that we have dreams, and that we are public servants, and we're not so detached from the people that we serve. I guess this moment reinforces for me that anything is possible.
You know, I didn't let anything sort of hold me back or stop me, the obstacles that I would think were pretty obvious based on my background. And so I think the lesson is don't give up and don't be deterred.
