Captain Frederick Thomas, president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, or NOBLE, supported the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on March 24, on the final day of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearings.
"Throughout her career, Judge Jackson has demonstrated deep knowledge and respect for law," Thomas said.

Nodding to Jackson's family members who have served in law enforcement, Thomas said her close knowledge "with the complexities, challenges, and opportunities within law enforcement provides a perspective on criminal justice issues that can be assets to the Supreme Court."

After three days of testimony from Jackson and questions from senators, the committee will hear from professional and personal witnesses who can speak to Jackson’s work and her character.

Jackson was nominated by President Joe Biden in February to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. After the hearings conclude, the committee will issue a recommendation in preparation for a full Senate vote. If confirmed, Jackson will be the first Black woman on the high court.
