Statement
Issues: Judicial Branch
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., issued the following statement on President Biden's historic nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court:
"Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is eminently qualified to serve on the Supreme Court, with more than a decade on the federal bench and distinguished service as a public defender and in private practice.
"At a time when the six Republicans on the Supreme Court are re-writing the law to serve the interests of the Republican party, from gutting the Voting Rights Act in the middle of the night to blocking public health measures in a once-in-a-century pandemic, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be an important voice on the Court."
