Friend,
Despite receiving bipartisan confirmation to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals just last year, the smears and attacks against President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, are as baseless, ruthless, and as racist as we expected.
Far-right groups are clamoring to issue press releases spouting unjustified accusations against Judge Jackson, labeling her as a “leftist,” “extremist,” and “radical left zealot.” Tucker Carlson of Fox News wasted no time in making a racist attack on the pronunciation of Judge Brown’s name during his show just this past week and his equally racist questioning of her LSAT scores (a demand that Carlson has made of no other Supreme Court nominee in recent history).[1]
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Senator Dick Durbin, has just announced that Judge Jackson’s confirmation hearings will begin in a couple weeks – March 21 – so we must continue building the groundswell of support to get her confirmation across the finish line.
The attacks and smears will no doubt continue and worsen in the days ahead, so your support will be crucial in defending her record and showcasing her sterling credentials.
Thanks for all that you do,
Zach, People For the American Way
