Today, the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) released the following statements on the Senate confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson as Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court:
“The Progressive Policy Institute congratulates Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson for her elevation to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her bright legal mind and even judicial temperament have earned her wide acclaim throughout a distinguished legal career. That 47 Republican Senators voted not to confirm her for no reason other than the most reflexive and dishonest kind of partisanship is all that mars this otherwise happy civic ceremony. We thank President Biden for nominating Justice Jackson and look forward to seeing her on the bench,” said Will Marshall, President of the Progressive Policy Institute.
“The importance of this confirmation cannot be overstated. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the most qualified candidates ever to be nominated to the highest court in the land. She will make history as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court,” said Jasmine Stoughton, Program Manager of PPI’s Mosaic Economic Project.
The Mosaic Economic Project is a network of diverse women with expertise in the fields of economics and technology. Mosaic programming aims to bring new voices to the policy arena by connecting cohort members with opportunities to engage with top industry leaders, lawmakers, and the media.
The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) is a catalyst for policy innovation and political reform based in Washington, D.C. Its mission is to create radically pragmatic ideas for moving America beyond ideological and partisan deadlock. Learn more about PPI by visiting progressivepolicy.org.
