Judge Jackson’s nomination is an inspiring step forward in ensuring the Supreme Court looks like the country it represents, but she is not a token or a savior. We must confirm Judge Jackson, and then we must expand the Court and send her four new colleagues.
Russia's actions are a series of horrific, violent aggressions led by Putin and his oligarchs. The terrible human cost of this escalating conflict is a direct result of their aggression. Our hearts are with the people of Ukraine.

Over the course of his career, Justice Breyer authored opinions in decisions that upheld women's reproductive rights and criticized the continued use of the death penalty.
