U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement on President Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court:
“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s experience as a public defender, a trial court judge, and an appellate judge will add valuable professional diversity to the Supreme Court. She would not only bring her brilliant legal mind and dedication to protecting our rights to the bench, she would make history in the process. I commend President Biden for his commitment to making our nation’s highest court look more like our nation. I hope Judge Jackson continues to receive bipartisan support, as she has in the past, and I look forward to a swift confirmation process.”
