WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today issued the following statement after this week’s hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson:

“In four days of hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, Judge Jackson demonstrated her formidable legal mind, balanced judicial temperament, and incredible warmth and character. Committee members of both parties noted Judge Jackson‘s exceptional qualifications, rooted in both her broad legal experience and excellent credentials. Judge Jackson has shown that she deserves bipartisan support for her confirmation, just like she has received in her previous confirmations by the Senate. I’m optimistic that she’ll receive it on her way to making history as an outstanding member of the Court, and I’m more convinced than ever that she deserves my support for her confirmation.”
