U.S. Senator Tina Smith’s Statement on President Biden’s Nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, D.C. [02/25/22]—Today, U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.) released the following statement on President Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court:

“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is exceptionally well-qualified to serve on the Supreme Court, and her demonstrated commitment to defending the constitutional and civil rights of all Americans makes her an outstanding choice of nominee. This is an exciting and historic nomination; if confirmed, she would be the first Black woman and first former federal public defender on the Supreme Court. Providing advice and consent on Supreme Court nominations is one of my most important responsibilities as a United States Senator, and I look forward to meeting with Judge Jackson and reviewing her record.”
