Attorney General Tong Statement on Nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to Supreme Court
(Hartford, CT) — Attorney General William Tong released the following statement today praising President Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is an exceptional choice to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Brown Jackson’s broad experiences across the legal profession and her service on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the U.S. District Court have distinguished her as one of our nation’s sharpest legal minds and most well respected judges,” said Attorney General Tong. “If confirmed, Judge Brown Jackson would be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court — a historic nomination that is long overdue. From safeguarding American’s right to vote to protecting a person’s right to reproductive freedom to preserving our clean air and climate, all roads lead to the Supreme Court and the stakes have never been higher. I am proud to support Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and I urge the Senate to swiftly and fairly confirm her.”
