John,
Yesterday, the White House announced President Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill Justice Stephen Breyer’s seat on the Supreme Court.
Judge Jackson is the first Black woman to be nominated to the Court in its 232-year history, and given the fact that Mitch McConnell abolished the filibuster for confirming Supreme Court nominees, Democrats should have no trouble confirming her, even if it requires a party-line vote (it should not).
But you can never be too sure of anything these days, especially when some Senate Democrats have repeatedly stood in the way of President Biden’s agenda. And with Mitch McConnell attempting to stop any and all of our progress.
Meanwhile, Senate Republicans have already begun their typical smear campaign of Judge Jackson, and it’s important that we stand with her today and in the weeks to come.
Please sign my petition in support of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court and to demand that Senate Democrats confirm her with all haste.
The fight ahead is critical for the Supreme Court and for our country. Thanks for standing with me and for a balanced Supreme Court.
