Questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson has begun. Watch Day 2 of the confirmation hearings here.
WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson faced senators’ questions for the first time Tuesday as Democrats push to quickly confirm the only Black female justice in the court’s 233-year history.
Jackson, a federal appeals court judge, sat and silently listened to more than four hours of senators' opening statements on Monday, the first of four days of Judiciary Committee hearings on her nomination. As senators began 30-minute rounds of grilling on Tuesday, she faced their specific points, including charges by some Republicans that she has been too lenient in sentencing on criminal matters.
Tuesday's hearing is the first of two days of questioning. On Thursday, the committee will hear from legal experts before an eventual vote to move her nomination to the Senate floor. Barring unexpected developments, Democrats who control the Senate by the slimmest of margins hope to wrap up Jackson’s confirmation before Easter, though Breyer is not leaving the court until after the current session ends this summer.
