Ketanji Brown Jackson begins Day 3 of her Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Here are takeaways from Day 2 and what to expect today.
WASHINGTON — The first full day of questions Tuesday for Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson tackled the big issues of race, abortion and judicial philosophy, a grueling marathon of debate over President Joe Biden's historic pick.
Democrats have the potential with their slim majority in the 50-50 Senate to confirm Jackson as Biden's choice to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer even if all Republicans line up opposed. Her nomination is on track for a vote by Easter. Hawley, R-Mo., set the tone even before the hearings began, raising concerns that Jackson gave child pornography defendants lighter sentences than required.The mother of two daughters told senators she still has nightmares after having pored through the graphic evidence of child pornography cases in her courtroom. She sparred with Cruz and Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Oklahoma over her sentencing decisions, and engaged with Hawley, who asked her to help him understand her views.
Cruz produced a poster-size page from"Antiracist Baby" by scholar Ibram X. Kendi and asked,"Do you agree with this book that is being taught with kids that babies are racist?""I do not believe any child should be made to feel as though they are racist," she said. GOD, KAVANAUGH AND GOP GRIEVANCEUnable to stop Jackson's confirmation, Republicans at least want to show Americans they gave the judge a fair hearing — different from the explosive session over Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination, when he was accused by Democrats of sexual assault as a teenager, charges he strongly denied.
