Will you follow the law? What does your record indicate?

I do not want an activist at either end of the spectrum.

In my opinion, a Justice's job is to interpret the text and words of the Constitution as written, and give them their original meaning.

Engaging in the politics of personal destruction is not something we should ever aspire to.

Judge Jackson is an independent jurist who adjudicates based on the facts and the law, not as a partisan.

If you are confirmed, you would be the first ever Federal public defender to sit on the Court.

There have been charges made... that she is somehow part of a, quote, 'anti-incarceration anti-police movement.'

Your rich, complex, and deep decisional record gives us the best possible evidence of what kind of Justice you will be.

You, Judge Jackson, are one of Mr. Lincoln's living witnesses of an America that is unafraid of challenge.

The unpleasant fact is that the present Court is the Court that dark money built.

Your presence will ensure the Court more fully and deeply understands the lives and experiences of everyday Americans.

the expectation that a nominee to the Supreme Court should have a judicial philosophy... bothers me a bit.

You face a much harsher judge than this Committee, and that is the judgment of history, and that judgment is likely to revolve around the question, did she restrict freedom or did she expand it?

Unfortunately, through history we have had people, some well intentioned, who tried to delegitimize the Supreme Court.

Representation matters with the legitimacy and credibility of our judicial system.

One of the primary roles of the United States Supreme Court is to uphold the rule of law.

America is ready for this Supreme Court glass ceiling to finally shatter, and you, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, are the person to do it.

It's also my hope folks will get a chance to meet the family that shaped you.
