Judge Jackson has already proven herself to be an exceptional jurist: - Early in her career, she clerked for Justice Breyer, the justice she’ll replace on the Court. - She was a public defender and worked tirelessly to reduce unfair sentences for her clients. - She was vice chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, where she helped reduce prison sentences for minor drug charges. - In 2012, she was appointed by President Obama to the federal district court for DC. - In 2021, she was appointed by President Biden to the federal court of appeals for DC. Judge Jackson has been confirmed by a bipartisan vote in the Senate for three different roles. I sincerely hope the Senate will quickly confirm her again, this time as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. We need to defend our majority in Congress so we can work with the administration and make sure more first-rate judges are confirmed to serve in the federal judiciary.

But {NAME}, the Court is still stacked against us, with six conservative justices protecting a radical right-wing agenda. That’s why I’ve proudly introduced legislation to expand the Court and counter this far-right takeover. Countering this ultraconservative offensive will take more work. It will require all of us to step up and ensure that we retain our majorities in the House and Senate, so that we may continue to work with President Biden to make sure we seat qualified judges.
