Court of Appeals
On March 30, 2021, President Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Jackson to serve as a United States circuit judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.[1] On April 19, 2021, her nomination was sent to the Senate. President Biden nominated Jackson to the seat vacated by Judge Merrick Garland, who stepped down to become attorney general.[2]
On April 28, 2021, a hearing on her nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[3] During her confirmation hearing, Jackson was questioned about several of her rulings against the Trump administration.[4] On May 20, 2021, Jackson's nomination was reported out of committee by a 13–9 vote.[5] On June 10, 2021, cloture was invoked on her nomination by a vote of 52–46.[6] On June 14, 2021, the United States Senate confirmed Jackson in a 53–44 vote.[7] She received her judicial commission on June 17, 2021.[8]
Jackson's first decision as a court of appeals judge invalidated a 2020 rule by the Federal Labor Relations Authority that had restricted the bargaining power of federal-sector labor unions.[9]
