Biden told reporters on Monday that he did not “get a chance to see any of” his Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings that happened last week.
Look, this is one of the most qualified nominees ever nominated for the Supreme Court in every respect — in terms of her disposition, her intellectual capacity, her experience and background, and serving on two — three additional courts. A woman who is totally, thoroughly qualified — totally, thoroughly qualified, and will be a great addition to the Court, in my view.
However, Biden’s comments directly contradict what one of his White House staffers said last week. A stafferreporters that Biden “watched portions” of Jackson’s confirmation hearings during a March 22 press conference. “The president watched portions of Judge Jackson’s hearing yesterday and today and is proud of the way that she is showcasing her extraordinary qualifications, her experience, and her evenhandedness,” the staffer“He was also moved by the grace and dignity she has shown, the deference to senators, and the level of detail she is offering, reinforcing the value of her experience, her intellect, and the strength of her character,” the staffer continued.
Some Senate Judiciary Republicans blasted Jackson for giving child porn offenders lenient sentences that fall far below federal guidelines.
