WASHINGTON–U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Tuesday released the following statement after meeting with Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson:

“After watching Judge Jackson expertly answer questions during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, and having just met with her today, I am certain she will make an excellent Supreme Court justice. I will vote to confirm her to the Supreme Court this week. With her extensive legal experience on the federal bench, as a public defender, and as former clerk to Justice Breyer, Judge Jackson will bring a wealth of knowledge and a commitment to fair and equal justice to the Court.” said Murphy.
