April 7, 2022

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today CongresswomanAnna G. Eshoo (D-CA) released the following statement after the Senate confirmed Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States:

"Brava to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on her historic, bipartisan confirmation as the 116th Justice of the Supreme Court and the first Black woman to serve on the highest court of our nation. Judge Jackson demonstrated her brilliance and composure throughout her confirmation process and she is one of the most qualified judges to ever be confirmed to the Supreme Court. She served as a federal public defender; a federal appellate judge; a federal district court judge; a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission; and an attorney in private practice.

"Four words are engraved above the doors of the Supreme Court: Equal Justice Under Law. I'm confident Judge Jackson will make these words walk into the lives of the American people."
