Dear MoveOn member,
The Republican attacks on our next Supreme Court justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, are disgusting—even by Republican standards.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham dramatically stormed out of the Senate hearing room this week after laughably accusing Judge Jackson of being a threat to national security.1
But perhaps worst of all, Republican Senator Josh Hawley—who cheered on the January 6 insurrectionists—baselessly lied about Judge Jackson's rulings in an effort to appeal to QAnon supporters who believe that Democrats are engaged in a child trafficking ring and practice cannibalism.2
These attacks are meant to insult and undermine an accomplished jurist, exceptionally qualified nominee, and first Black woman ever tapped to become a justice on the Supreme Court. The reality is that Judge Jackson is an inspirational figure who has proved her qualifications through her career and through these hearings—and it's that image of this inspirational, history-making judge we all should uplift.
That's why MoveOn printed a big batch of these beautiful stickers designed by artist Amanda Mustard and is giving them away for free—while supplies last.
Andra, the right wing is doing everything they can to smear Judge Jackson.
Tucker Carlson has been using his television show to repeatedly spew racist and sexist attacks against Judge Jackson.3
For centuries, entitled white men like Tucker Carlson and Josh Hawley have attacked the intellect and credentials of people of color, especially Black women.
We won't dignify their baseless smears with a response.
Instead, we choose to celebrate Judge Jackson's long record of public service, her legal brilliance, and her outstanding character.
Thanks for all you do.
