John, if you’re ready to see Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson sit on the U.S. Supreme Court – there’s an important action I need you to take today.
Judge Jackson’s wealth of experience and tireless commitment to justice for all make her an exceptional nominee. Her confirmation and the perspective she will bring as a former public defender, member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, and more would strengthen the nation’s confidence in the Court – and bring an end to the historical shame of more than two centuries without a Black woman on the bench.
Confirmation hearings for Judge Jackson kick off next week – so we need to let our senators know NOW that we’re counting on them to make her the next Supreme Court Justice.
Sign the Petition: Tell the Senate to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court >>
Common Cause hasn’t supported a nominee to the Supreme Court before – but John, we couldn’t stay on the sidelines this time. [1]
Judge Jackson’s leadership in the law, lived experience, and commitment to the Constitution will strengthen the Court’s legitimacy – and by extension, strengthen our democracy. Given the fraught moment that our democracy is in, this couldn’t be more vital.
In the coming years, the Supreme Court will likely make decisions that impact the freedom to vote, Big Money’s role in politics, government ethics – nearly every democracy issue that you and I care about. We think that these decisions should be influenced by an immensely qualified jurist who will ensure that each and every one of us is treated equally under the law.
That jurist is Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and we are thrilled to join the call for her confirmation. She has thrice been confirmed by the Senate to important positions on a bipartisan basis – and we strongly believe that the Senate must now confirm her once more.
If you believe that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would make an excellent addition to the U.S. Supreme Court, add your name today.
John, it’s time to make history by adding the first Black woman, the first public defender, and a tremendous legal expert to the Supreme Court. Judge Jackson’s confirmation is another crucial step toward an inclusive democracy.
With thanks for all you do,
Karen Hobert Flynn, President
and the team at Common Cause
