Friends,

I want to talk to you about something very important to me:

Given the gravity of a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, my practice is to withhold any decision on a nominee -- regardless of my previous positions on that nominee for other judgeships -- until I carefully review their qualifications, observe their appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and personally meet with them. I had the pleasure of meeting with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson yesterday afternoon, and now offer my unqualified support for her to be a Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

Judge Jackson’s qualifications speak for themselves: stellar academic credentials, prestigious judicial clerkships, a strong track record as a federal public defender, distinguished service as a federal trial and appellate judge, and multiple attestations to her character and fairness.

She would make history as the first African American woman to serve on the nation’s highest court.

I also take particular note of the fact that her confirmation would lead to a Court with four women justices. When I started law school, there had never been a woman justice. The fact that such a positive change has occurred during my professional career gives me hope about our progress toward the ideal of equality that is our nation’s moral North Star.

I am confident that Judge Brown Jackson will use her extensive and impressive experience to help administer justice from the Supreme Court.

So I want to know: Do you support Judge Jackson’s nomination, too? Please, add your name to my petition today to show that you support confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court:

Thank you for using your voice to speak up about this historic moment in American history. With Judge Jackson on the bench, our country will be closer to a more just society for all.

Thank you,

Tim Kaine
