Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson will face senators' questions for the first time Tuesday.
WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson will face senators' questions for the first time Tuesday as Democrats push to quickly confirm the only Black female justice in the court's 233-year history.
While Republicans promised pointed questions, Democrats were full of praise for President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee. Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin said that to be first,"often, you have to be the best, in some ways the bravest." "When the next generation behind us looks at the highest courts in the land, this ideal will be made more real," Booker said.
The committee's senior Republican, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, promised Republicans would"ask tough questions about Jackson's judicial philosophy," without turning the hearings into a"spectacle." Even though few Republicans are likely to vote for her, most GOP senators did not aggressively criticize Jackson, whose confirmation would not change the court's 6-3 conservative majority. Several Republicans used their time to denounce Senate Democrats instead of Jackson's record.
