I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court. Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C.

As a protégé of Justice Breyer, Judge Jackson earned a reputation for pragmatism and consensus building. It’s part of why I nominated her twice – first as a district judge, and then to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, where she earned praise from both Democrats and Republicans.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has 8.9 years of prior judicial experience.
— Kaivan Shroff (@KaivanShroff) February 25, 2022
That’s three times as much experience as Amy Coney Barrett had.
You don't have to like Ketanji Brown Jackson's but you will respect her resume.. Harvard Law, Clerked for Breyer, Federal Public Defender, Appellate Litigator, Federal District Court Judge, DC Circuit Court judge. Like I said, you can dislike her but don't disrespect the resume.

Great story https://twitter.com/ofirahy/status/1497359587854356480?s=19Y’all can miss me being surprised that the first BW nominated to SCOTUS is getting backlash when y’all spent the last several years normalizing vitriol aimed at the first BW VP.

Make the connection!
Uplifting ALL Black women is a conscious choice that benefits us all.
An important part of Judge Brown Jackson‘s experience: her work on the US sentencing commission, which determines factors judges consider in sentencing defendants & how they should be applied. The court has critical sentencing issues to decide & will benefit from her expertise.

A high school teacher told Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson not to apply to Harvard University; to not set her sights so high. Now she may be the first Black woman appointed to the Supreme Court. Aim beyond the stars. Only you know your reach. #TheView pic.twitter.com/sf6puPm0GS

Ketanji Brown Jackson, despite all the storms she was voted in the 116th justice today.
The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) tweeted at 9:18 PM on Fri, Feb 25, 2022:
The Critique by Robin Givhan: “As the first Black woman nominated to the Supreme Court, Jackson is an archetype — one who defies all the stereotypes.” https://t.co/1YUp68Jj2o

Once she is confirmed, Judge KBJ’s exhibit at the Blacksonian will be as big as Thurgood Marshall’s.
All the while, Unca Clarence will still be a footnote, with the display to match😂😂😂
We have been here since 1619.
It’s 2021.
The republic began 1776.
It’s 2021.
And, she will be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.
Yeah, I am all in my feelings today.
