Washington, D.C. – The National Consumers League, America’s pioneering consumer advocacy organization, today called on all members of the United States Senate to vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the next associate justice of the Supreme Court. The following statement is attributable to Sally Greenberg, Executive Director of the National Consumers League:
“Consumers and workers across America look to the courts to protect their interests against the virtually limitless resources of big corporations. Judge Jackson’s experience as a federal public defender and her rulings in several important cases makes her uniquely qualified to understand the concerns of those who are underrepresented in our legal system. In her years on the bench as a federal district court and appellate court judge, Judge Jackson has proven to be one of the brightest legal minds in the country. Her character and qualifications have earned her bipartisan support in all of her past confirmations. On behalf of America’s consumers, we urge all Senators – regardless of party affiliation – to support this uniquely qualified jurist to be the next associate justice of the Supreme Court.”
Earlier this month, Greenberg and NCL Board Chair Joan Bray wrote to the Senate Judiciary Committee urging swift confirmation of Judge Jackson. That letter is available here.
