Sen. Booker’s speech provided a strong contrast to questioning from Senate Republicans, who have used Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination hearing to deploy a series of bizarre and nonsensical racist dog whistles
“You are a person that is so much more than your race and gender — you are a Christian, you are a mom, you are an intellect, you love books,” Booker said, alluding to the GOP’s attacks on Jackson. “But don’t worry, my sister. Don’t worry. God has got you — and how do I know that? Because you’re here, and I know what it’s taken for you to sit in that seat.”
Jackson again became emotional Wednesday during questioning from Sen. Alex Padilla , who asked Jackson how she felt about being an inspiration for young Americans from similar backgrounds. “I hope to inspire people to try to follow this path, because I love this country, because I love the law, because I think it is important that we all invest in our future,” she said.
Tomorrow, a series of invited legal experts will testify before the committee in the final day of hearings.
