CASPER, WY – U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) released the following statement after President Biden nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve as Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court:

“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has been nominated for a lifetime appointment to the United States Supreme Court. Senate Republicans will give Judge Jackson a fair and respectful confirmation process. We won’t follow the radical Democrat playbook of baseless character assassination and personal attacks.

“Our next Supreme Court justice will make decisions that impact Wyoming and our country for generations. That’s why it’s important to confirm a justice who will apply the law, not legislate from the bench.

“It is critical that the Senate takes all the time it needs to thoroughly evaluate Judge Jackson’s record and past decisions. The American people cannot afford for this process to be rushed.

“I look forward to meeting with Judge Jackson in person soon and learning more about her judicial philosophy and understanding of our Constitution.”
