Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

Dear MoveOn member,

Republicans want a Supreme Court that will overturn abortion rights and
end protections for same-sex couples and families. They even question
whether the Supreme Court should have guaranteed the legality of
interracial marriage more than 50 years ago. That's the vision the GOP has
put on display.^1,2

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is an extremely accomplished, experienced, and
qualified judge who is ready to serve on the highest court in the land and
become the first Black woman ever to become a Supreme Court Justice.^3 She
sat through 12-hour days of questioning in which she showcased her expert
understanding of the Constitution, her nuanced methodology as a judge, and
her unparalleled patience.

We saw what Republicans are out to do—slander, smear, and discredit her
with a mixture of QAnon disinformation, baseless attacks, and right-wing
talking points to undermine such fundamental rights as the freedom to
marry regardless of race or sexual orientation.

We've seen and heard enough to know her qualifications and to see how
Republicans hope to undermine these hearings. [ [link removed] ]Please sign now to add

Swiftly confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

Judge Jackson has deep experience across the justice system, which will
make her a well-rounded justice. She worked as a public defender, served
on the bipartisan U.S. Sentencing Commission, and served as a judge on the
U.S. District Court and on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. She's the
first nominee since Thurgood Marshall to have experience as a defense
attorney.

It’s long past time to have a Black woman serve on the Supreme Court, and
now that President Biden has fulfilled his promise to nominate one, it’s
up to us to advocate for a swift and effective nomination process. And we
must all commit to having her back against the racism and criticism that
Republicans are aiming at her.

We know Mitch McConnell will stop at nothing to steal another Supreme
Court seat and that Republicans will use any trick to block her
confirmation—including attacking her with outrageous lies. All Democrats
and any remaining moderate Republicans have a responsibility to reject
these attacks and confirm Judge Jackson, based on her exemplary
qualifications and the aptitude she is showing at the hearings this week.

Republicans weren't shy about revealing their real agenda: stacking the
court with judges who will overturn the freedom to marry and to choose
when and whether to have a baby, and using a nationally televised platform
to attack LGBTQ+ youth and families and efforts to give our kids an honest
education. One Republican senator even questioned the Supreme Court ruling
that guaranteed interracial marriages would be legal and respected across
the country.^4 We need a Supreme Court that will protect our freedoms
against right-wing zealots and corporate power—and while Judge Jackson
alone can't unrig the Supreme Court, which has been packed by Trump
appointees, her confirmation will be an important step in the right
direction.

Republicans will lie, muddy and block the process, and try to derail her
nomination—and that's why we need to make sure ALL senators hear us loud
and clear: Confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson swiftly as soon as this
week's hearings conclude.
