[ [link removed] ]Welch for Vermont
Hello,
Despite being one of the most qualified nominees to the Supreme Court in
history, Republican Senators have relentlessly attacked Judge Ketanji
Brown Jackson this week for all kinds of ridiculous reasons. They’ve
questioned her faith, injected critical race theory, even criticized her
time as a public defender.
As a former public defender myself, that line of attack is so
disappointing. Judge Jackson would be the first federal public defender on
the Supreme Court, and we need that perspective. But we need to fight by
her side against these ridiculous GOP attacks. [ [link removed] ]That’s why I’m asking
you to add your name to support Judge Jackson’s nomination right away.
I represented low-income clients as a public defender in Vermont. Our
justice system is built on the right to counsel, and public defenders are
crucial to leveling the playing field for those who can’t afford defense
attorneys. Attacking Judge Jackson for serving the public—when she could
have taken a far more lucrative job—is baseless.
I’ve known Patrick Leahy for a long time and he’s not one to get riled up
easily. But even he called Republicans’ line of questioning outrageous and
said he’s never seen behavior like this in his nearly five decades in the
Senate.
We can’t let partisan politics get in the way of her confirmation. She
would be an incredible justice and we need to do everything in our power
to beat back the out-of-line attacks.
[ [link removed] ]Please sign our petition to support Judge Jackson. She’ll bring
exceptional experience to the Supreme Court—including her time as a public
defender—and we won’t let Mitch McConnell’s allies stop her.
Thanks for being in this fight,
Peter
