WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) met with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden’s nominee to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Following the meeting, Senator Rosen announced her support for Judge Jackson’s nomination, citing her broad experience, remarkable qualifications, vast legal knowledge, and sound judgment.
Judge Jackson has been confirmed by the Senate on a bipartisan basis three separate times before as a federal circuit judge, a district court judge, and a U.S. Sentencing Commission member.
