That's the title of my op-ed in the Miami Herald, urging Sens. Rubio and Scott to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Here's the intro:
No Floridian has ever been appointed to the Supreme Court. Even though Florida has the third most electoral votes in the country, we have been shut out on the highest court in the land. It’s time to change that. This is a wonderful opportunity for Florida’s two senators to get behind the first Florida-reared nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson. Miami is absolutely bursting with pride, and U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott should embrace this nominee.
Jackson went to Miami Palmetto High School, where she was a rock-star national debate champion. Her parents started their careers as public school teachers. While Jackson was in preschool, her father went to law school. She spoke glowingly about sitting next to him reading law-school text books while she was doing her preschool homework.

I just spoke to Mitch McConnell. He was going to vote no but then he said he read a wonderful OpnEd in the Miami Herald. Who knew he read?
