Rep. Johnson’s Statement on the Confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04), Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet, released the following statement after the Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve as the next Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court:

"Today's confirmation of the eminently qualified Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman to serve on the nation's highest court is a historic achievement and a testament to how far we, as a nation, have come. I'm sure that Dr. King, who was assassinated 54 years and three days ago, beams with pride as our nation lives out the true meaning of its creed – that all men and women are created equal. I congratulate Judge Jackson and her family. The nation thanks her for her service and we look forward to a long, distinguished career on the Supreme Court."
