Unlike in confirmation battles past, Republicans don't quite have a theme for their examination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s record. Except being nicer than Democrats.
Even if Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's hearings do remain respectful, the vast majority of Republicans are expected to oppose her nomination as the high court's first Black woman justice. | Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesSenate Republicans aren’t coalescing around a single approach to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court yet — except that they’ll keep it classy.
In interviews over the past week, Republicans on the Judiciary Committee said they planned to prepare for her forthcoming confirmation hearings in separate, distinct ways. To the extent any specific flashpoint has emerged, they’re interested in her representation of Guantanamo Bay detainees during her time as a public defender, as well as briefs she filed while in private practice for groups that opposed the George W. Bush administration’s detention policies.
“We’re very different from the Democratic conference in terms of this idea of an orchestrated theme or message,” observed Sen. Thom Tillis . “There will be some, but we’ll go at in the way that we historically do. I think we all come in pretty independent.” Senate Democrats, needless to say, think they handled Kavanaugh’s hearings responsibly. Some doubt their Republican colleagues can manage not to go scorched-earth on Jackson, but others see the GOP not rattling her too much, with good reason.
