Texas' two GOP senators have acknowledged the historical nature of the judge's nomination but have tried to couch their votes as opposition to her ideology. Texas TedCruz JohnCornynSenate KetanjiBrownJackson SupremeCourt
Jackson’s confirmation comes during a politically charged moment that has seen renewed scrutiny over the roles race and gender play in American society — themes that outlined some of the questions she faced during her nomination process. A Harvard-educated lawyer, she has over a decade of experience on federal benches and she has also sat on the U.S. Sentencing Commission and served as a public defender.
Cruz, who was classmates with Jackson at Harvard Law School, asked Jackson questions about whether she supported — an academic discipline on race in society whose name some conservatives use as a buzzword for any discussion about race in classrooms — and criticized her record on child pornography crime sentencing in a heated moment during the hearing.
“My vote against Judge Jackson is not a rebuke of her legal knowledge, her experience or her character,” Cornyn said. “She said she would not try to do Congress’ job making laws, but over the years … we’ve come to see a pattern of judges who embrace the concept of judge-made law.”
