I love how Judge #KetanjiBrownJackson emphasized her name and what it means (lovely one). In case you didn't hear it's Ketanji Onyika…say it right and put some respect on it! #ConfirmJudgeJackson pic.twitter.com/OfejuffRAb

As we've told y'all over and over…
Black women are OVERqualified.

Right now Senator @CoryBooker is ALL of us. Excuse me, all of us BLACK folk. The Republicans have made it clear that they are NOT happy to see a principled Black woman rise. But #SheWillRise ✊🏾 I agree, Cory. It’s the JOY for me, too! ❤️#KetanjiBrownJackson

.@LinseyDavis on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's opening statement: "There are some who are lamenting that it took 233 years to get to the first Black female nominee, but at the same time, there's this overwhelming feeling of celebration."https://t.co/KDN1402Ivw pic.twitter.com/reNRiJqhR9

If there is one thing Senator Jon Ossoff is excelling at as part of the judiciary committee is letting Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson know that he sees her greatness and he is in awe of it
We love that for her and the genuine smiles between them pic.twitter.com/QnunHTzasD

Judge Jackson has been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and more than 80 Dem and GOP State AGs. That gives you a sense of her record when it comes to crime.

Judiciary Republicans showed their entire asses today attacking Ketanji Brown Jackson because she has deftly cultivated bipartisan relationships for her entire career. I don't recall the last time a retired Republican judge introduced a Democratic SCOTUS nominee to the committee.

There are only two types of people in this country:
Those that support Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson ascending to the highest court in the land
and…
Those that don’t
If you are the latter… pic.twitter.com/62Djgz4v96

We are enthralled. Right after Judge Brown Jackson explained that her parents gave her the African name Ketanji Onyika, one of my kids yelled “Yo, her name is FIRE!”
That’s what representation does for our babies. pic.twitter.com/reqja1uVoD
