STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE ON THE CONFIRMATION OF JUDGE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON TO THE US SUPREME COURT

(Washington, D.C.) - Today, we witnessed history being made with the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Judge Jackson’s exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character, and unwavering dedication to the rule of law will make her an outstanding Justice.

I’m grateful to President Biden for choosing a Supreme Court Justice who moves us one step closer to a high court representative of all Americans. As Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes once said—"The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving."I look forward to Judge Jackson being seated and know she will serve the American people with the integrity, honor, and commitment to justice they deserve.
