as the Senate Judiciary Committee began a fourth day of hearings on her historic nomination to become the first Black woman on the Supreme Court.over two days about her sentencing of criminal defendants, her bid to join the Supreme Court veering from lofty constitutional questions to attacks on her motivations on the bench.
"The question we kept asking ourselves: How does one human being do so much so extraordinary well?" Williams said. Booker, who is Black, said that he sees "my ancestors and yours" when he looks at her. "I know what it’s taken for you to sit here in this seat," he said. "You have earned this spot."

It was also reflective of an emerging emphasis on crime in GOP midterm election campaigns.
