Columbus, OH — Today, Ohio Democratic Party Chair Elizabeth Walters released the following statement after Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was sworn in to the nation’s highest court, the first Black woman to serve on the bench in its 230+ years:
“Justice Jackson taking her seat today on the nation’s highest court is an important step forward for our country and a much-needed moment of celebration in an otherwise dark moment in our history. We’ve seen in the last days and weeks how important her voice, perspective and life experiences will be as conservatives on the Supreme Court continue to methodically insert themselves into our rights and rip away our freedoms. We’re confident Justice Jackson will rule with fairness, integrity and justice and act as an important check on the extremism coming out of our current Court.”
