President Biden Nominates Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to Serve as Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court President Biden is nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, one of our nation’s brightest legal minds, to the Supreme Court.
President Biden sought a candidate with exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character, and unwavering dedication to the rule of law.
A former clerk for Justice Breyer, whom she is nominated to replace, Judge Jackson is a top jurist with strong experience on the federal bench, currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Judge Jackson has broad experience across the legal profession – as a federal appellate judge, a federal district court judge, a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, an attorney in private practice, and as a federal public defender.
Judge Jackson has been confirmed by the Senate on a bipartisan basis three times – most recently last year for her current seat.
Judge Jackson was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Miami, Florida. Her parents started their careers as public-school teachers and became leaders and administrators in the Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Judge Jackson was a star student but told not to set her sights too high by a guidance counselor when she said she wanted to go to Harvard. Today, she once again proves the sky is the limit.
If confirmed, Jackson will be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
Judge Jackson is an outstanding nominee for the Supreme Court, and the Senate should move forward with a fair and timely confirmation and hearing.
MESSAGE OF THE DAY2. President Biden’s Ongoing Actions to Ease the Cost of Living for American Families The Biden-Harris administration’s top economic priorities have been to create a growing economy with more good-paying jobs, and to lower the prices Americans have faced from the global problem of inflation related to the pandemic.
We have seen historic success on the first priority: The president’s first year in office saw historic economic growth and historic job creation – the fastest economic growth since 1984 and the most jobs created in one year ever.
On higher prices, the administration has been using every tool at their disposal, and while last month’s inflation numbers are a reminder that Americans’ budgets are being stretched in ways that create real stress at the kitchen table, there are also signs that we will make it through this challenge.
We have more work to do – to keep wages up and prices down – so that working families can actually get ahead.
The Federal Reserve plays the primary role in helping our economy achieve stable prices.
While inflation is a global challenge, the president is squarely focused on doing everything he can to bring down prices for the American people.
First, the administration is helping repair our supply chains and infrastructure to ease bottle necks and make more here at home.
Second, the president is fighting for his Build Back Better plan, which will lower the cost of living.
Third, the president is continuing his work to make our economy more competitive. President Biden pledged that his administration will continue to be all hands on deck to win this fight.
