Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) used his time for questioning Ketanji Brown Jackson to rail against treatment of past GOP judicial nominees and attack Democrats.
On the second day of Jackson’s confirmation hearing, Graham opened his allotted time to question President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee by noting how others had praised Jackson’s personal background.
“I’m just asking this question because how important is your faith to you?” Graham asked. “On a scale of 1 to 10, how faithful would you say you are, in terms of religion? You know, I go to church probably three times a year, so that speaks poorly of me. Or do you attend church regularly?”At one point, Jackson said her faith was “very important” and also pointed out that “there’s no religious test in the Constitution.
“You have a long history of believing your religious beliefs should prevail,” Feinstein said to Barrett then. “When you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. And that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for years in this country.”Graham brought this up again Tuesday to Jackson, even though Jackson had no involvement in the Barrett hearings.
