Legal experts and interest groups will be taking their turn to weigh in on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
On Wednesday, her final day of Senate questioning, Jackson declared she would rule"without any agendas” as the high court's first Black female justice and rejected Republican efforts to paint her as soft on crime in her decade on the federal bench.
“I’m not letting anybody in the Senate steal my joy,” Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., told Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. “I just look at you, and I start getting full of emotion.”Jackson was in tears a second time after similar praise from Sen. Alex Padilla, and she responded to the California Democrat that she hopes to be an inspiration because"I love this country, because I love the law.”
Tempers rose as Wednesday's hearing wore on, with Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., slamming down his gavel at one point when Cruz refused to yield after his time expired while he was grilling Jackson. In confirmation hearings, Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson has been asked about her views on several contentious topics, and repeatedly stated she views her responsibility as a judge is to stay within her Constitutionally prescribed duties. "Her job is to get through this without a viral moment. And if she continues to do that ... it's hard not to imagine she'll be confirmed," said Ekow Yankah, a professor at Yeshiva University's Cardozo School of Law.
