WASHINGTON - Only six of the nine members of the Supreme Court attended President Joe Biden s swearing-in Wednesday, the first time in more than 20 years that not all of the justices witnessed the ceremony.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Stephen Breyer and Samuel Alito, the court s three oldest, were the no-shows. Several of the justices elected not to attend the inauguration ceremony in light of the public health risks posed by the COVID pandemic, Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathleen Arberg said in a statement.

Among being the first Black woman and the first South Asian American woman to become Vice President, Kamala Harris is also a member of the first Black sorority. Author: Katina Rankin Updated: 10:14 PM CST January 20, 2021
MEMPHIS, Tenn President Joe Biden pledged to select a woman as his running mate. And, he did. Harris appointment on the ticket and win is historic on so many levels. Aside from being the first woman to take office as the vice-president, she is the first Black woman and the first South Asian American woman to fill those shoes. She s also a graduate of a HBCU. In addition, she s a member of the first Black sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. As Weeknight Anchor Katina Rankin tells us, to say her sorority sisters are proud is an understatement.
