“In most things in life if you’re going to be the first, you’ve got to be the best, and I think …President Biden has chosen Judge Jackson and made a proper choice for filling this vacancy,” said Sen. Dick Durbin.
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin has represented Illinois in Washington for a quarter century, the last 17 of which as whip, senate Democrats’ second-highest ranking position.But now comes his highest-profile role as Durbin leads the hearings that will play a crucial role in determining whether for the first time a Black woman will claim a U.S. Supreme Court seat.
“Judge Jackson is well-known to the committee,” Durbin said, noting that she had come before it three time before, most recently leading up to her June 2021 bipartisan Senate confirmation to U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. “Her record is well known. Almost 600 written opinions define her position on issues of the law in graphic detail. Twelve thousand pages of work she has provided of work on the Sentencing Commission.
Durbin on Friday defended Jackson, casting doubt on how Jackson could have made it through three previous U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee nomination hearings and a White House team combing through her past and records, for Hawley to suddenly discover a “fatal flaw.” On CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday morning, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said that he’s undecided on how he’ll vote on Jackson because he wants to first listen to the evidence at this week’s hearings.
