, history was made today. President Biden just selected Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as his nominee for the next Justice of the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS). If confirmed, she would be the first Black female judge to serve on our nation’s highest court.
Judge Jackson’s swift confirmation to SCOTUS is crucial to our fight for immigrant rights. Why? In recent years, federal courts have been increasingly called upon to resolve questions of immigration law and immigrants’ rights. As a Justice, Judge Jackson would help shape the realities of millions of immigrants who call this country home.
SIGN OUR PETITION: Tell your senators to confirm Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court.
Judge Jackson is an exceptionally-well qualified jurist with unimpeachable credentials and an impressive record as a litigator and judge. Through her service as a federal public defender, as vice chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, and her near-decade as a federal judge at the District and Circuit level, Judge Jackson has demonstrated a commitment to excellence, integrity, and public service.
Without a doubt, Judge Jackson will be an outstanding Supreme Court Justice. Senators must confirm her without delay. Join us in calling on the Senate to act with urgency.
Sincerely,
Lisa Graybill
Legal Director
