Cory Booker's Opening Statement to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson

His heart filled the room. I wept to hear his words of joy.
Even as liberal justices remain a minority on the court, the quality of its deliberations will change for the better.

I have no doubt that he's as warm, engaging, and genuine in private as he is in public. I've never really understood why he's not a bigger rock star, but I'd support him for any position he ever wants.

He's a Stanford and Yale man, Rhodes scholar, former mayor of Newark, and his domestic partner was Rosario Dawson until last month.

He ran in the 2016 presidential primary and was popular here, right? He just didn't appeal to primary voters across the country.

Just read his bio to get a better idea.
