Friend,
I was proud to cast a vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the highest court in our land. Her brilliance, perseverance, unwavering commitment to the law, and deep understanding of the justice system's impact on people’s lives will all make her a superb justice.
Judge Jackson’s confirmation will not only make the Supreme Court look more like America but also think more like America. Yet, while this confirmation was a joyous and glass-shattering outcome, I couldn’t help but be appalled by the behavior of some of my Republican colleagues on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary during Judge Jackson’s confirmation hearings.
They interrupted her. They berated her. They accused her of things that were blatantly untrue and incendiary. They cared less about the health and future of the Court and our nation than about their own Twitter feeds and public posturing.
If Republicans flip even a single Senate seat in this election, they will be back in control of the chamber – and back in a position to stop all future Biden nominees in their tracks.That’s why I’m writing to you today to get your feedback on the issues that are important to you. Your feedback is critical to ensuring I can protect my Democratic seat and keep Democrats in control of the Senate.
This election is absolutely crucial, and winning hinges on having a strategy that’s connected to grassroots supporters – people like you. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your input.
Dick
