This moment, this feeling, is one that so many, especially Black girls and women across America, will carry for the rest of our lives.
It’s a new day in this country. History has been made.
*Justice* Ketanji Brown Jackson has a ring to it.

As Ohio’s next Senator, I will examine every judicial appointment through the lens of respect for Life, our Liberties, and the Constitution to ensure the independence of the judiciary is protected and our rights are never infringed. #SCOTUS pic.twitter.com/XOsYlhHW68

Judge Jackson’s confirmation as the rubber stamp for Democrats and the abortion industry shows why we must elect real conservatives to the U.S. Senate that’ll only confirm pro-life originalist judges that refer to the Constitution rather than demands from radical progressives. https://t.co/yGqEzVZhkK

Mike Gibbons, Republican Senate candidate
“Today’s confirmation of Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson is concerning for the future of the Supreme Court and for our country. She showcased both in her short record as a judge and during her confirmation hearings that she will be a consistent rubber stamp for Democrats and the abortion industry on the Supreme Court. She will also be a force to undermine many of our foundational liberties, including our rights to keep and bear arms, free speech, and religious liberty. Her confirmation highlights exactly why we have to elect real conservatives that will only confirm pro-life originalist judges that refer to the Constitution rather than the demands of radical progressives, and I look forward to accomplishing just that in the U.S. Senate.”
Congratulations to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on her historic confirmation—her career as a public defender, record of upholding workers’ rights and abortion rights, and bipartisan support make her exactly the kind of jurist we need on the Supreme Court.

“My parents taught me that, unlike the many barriers that they had to face growing up, my path was clearer—such that if I worked hard and believed in myself, in America I could do anything or be anything I wanted to be.”
