Alabama’s first Black federal judge won’t testify against Biden’s Supreme Court nominee

, Clemon cited her ruling in a 2016 class-action case against Lockheed Martin on behalf of 5,500 Black workers. She declined to approve a settlement that had been reached that would have paid out $22 million to the plaintiffs, Clemon said. It also would have implemented reforms in Lockheed’s evaluation system for pay and promotions, he said.

“Before the appointment was made, I had three conversations with the president’s senior adviser ,” Clemon said. Although former U.S. Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama helped vet the Supreme Court candidates for Biden, Jones did not try to influence Clemon’s opinion about Jackson, he said. “The decisions that she rendered as a district judge are a matter of public record, and if anybody wants to look at them I’m sure they can,” Clemon said. “That was the sole basis of my objection. Obviously, she’s a woman of great accomplishments: two Harvard degrees, on the sentencing commission, obviously she has very impressive credentials.”

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reversed Jackson’s 2020 dismissal of the case on grounds of error, allowing the family to seek damages. Jackson relied on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s argument that Whiteru was intoxicated and contributed to his own death, clearing it of any liability.
