WASHINGTON - Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), the first woman and first African American to represent Delaware in Congress issued the following statement on the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Jackson was confirmed by a bipartisan vote in the United States Senate earlier this afternoon.
“I am filled with pride today to see the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Her ability, knowledge, and experience made her uniquely qualified as she takes her seat as the first Black woman on the United States Supreme Court. Her credentials were underscored by the bipartisan vote to confirm her as our next Associate Justice.
“My father once wrote me a note that read, ‘You become what you see, unless you see what you want to become.’ Today - and for years to come - millions of Black girls all across America will look to the highest court in our land and will know what they can become. Our country has already benefited from Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s example. Now we will benefit from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s service.”
