Justice Jackson Represents the Best of America
Friends,
Yesterday’s historic confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court is a victory for democracy and the pursuit of justice. President Biden fulfilled his promise to nominate a highly qualified Black woman to the Supreme Court, and Democrats ensured her confirmation. Justice Jackson represents the best of America, and her confirmation demonstrates just how much elections matter.
Were it not for Democrats’ historic White House and Senate wins, we would not be celebrating this incredibly historic change to the make-up of the Supreme Court. This was only possible because of President Biden and Democrats, who are in office because of you and other Jewish Democratic voters across the country.
The Jewish Democratic vote makes a vital difference in helping to shape the outcome of elections – we did it in 2018 and 2020, and will do it again in 2022. Click below to join us and thank those responsible for this historic Supreme Court confirmation.
JDCA IN THE NEWS
On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee advanced the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, which will enhance our ability to prevent and respond to domestic terrorist and white supremacist threats. JDCA commented in Jewish Insider that it was “deeply disappointing, though not surprising,” that Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee uniformly opposed the legislation. Instead of taking this matter seriously, Republicans on the committee “made a mockery of the bill by offering ridiculous amendments” regarding vaccines and school boards.
House Republicans have demonstrated they have no interest in defending Jewish Americans from the dangerous threat of white supremacy despite offering their support of the exact same bill last year. Shame on them — this political gaming directly impacts our security.
