WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine) issued the following statement after voting to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court:

“Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the most impressive people I have ever met. After reviewing her record, attending a portion of her hearing, and meeting with her in person, it became clear that Judge Jackson is a brilliant legal mind with wide-ranging experience and an even judicial temperament well-suited for the highest court in the land. Her deep knowledge of the law was on full display during our conversation, as she provided thoughtful responses to pointed questions and repeatedly displayed her talent for assessing a case from every possible angle. It was an honor to cast my vote confirming her to the Supreme Court, and I look forward to seeing her valuable contributions to our nation in the years ahead.”
