Republicans said this week’s Supreme Court hearing wouldn’t feature character attacks or theatrics. Some Black women say that hasn’t been the case.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson testifies on the third day of her Senate nomination hearings to be an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, March 23, 2022.
“This is just a master class in how Black women have to be patient, have to be fully composed in responding to things that are meant for destruction,” said Brown, the chair of the university’s women and gender studies program. “These are the kinds of attacks that Black women get in their professional roles.”
But as Jackson entered her third day of hearings, many Black women lawyers and scholars say some of their fears have been realized.Jackson and the Democratic senators on the panel say they have had to spend much of their time defending her against unfounded or misleading claims that she supports the teaching of “critical race theory” in schools, that she’s soft on crime and that she is sympathetic to sex offenders.
A somber-faced Jackson paused for several seconds, exhaled deeply and appeared to reflect carefully before responding. It was a sigh that resonated with many viewers. Alexis Hoag, an assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, said the line of attack felt like it came “right out of QAnon’s playbook,” referencing the conspiracy theory that many celebrities and Democratic politicians are part of an international cabal of pedophiles.
