Anything can happen': What to watch for in Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's hearing
WASHINGTON – Even Republicans acknowledge President Joe Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, appears to be on a glide path to confirmation.
That doesn’t mean her Senate Judiciary Committee hearings that start Monday will be without bumps, sudden turns and high-flown presidential politicking.
For millions of Americans, the four-day spectacle will be an introduction to Jackson, a Harvard-educated federal appeals court judge and the first Black woman named to the Supreme Court. The hearings will be an examination of her record and an effort to predict what kind of justice she would be if confirmed for a lifetime appointment on a court that is wrestling with issues such as abortion, voting rights, guns and climate change.
Given the historic significance of Jackson’s nomination, the fact that Democrats control the Senate and that the conservatives' 6-3 advantage on the court wouldn't change if she’s confirmed, many predict a less contentious fight than some of the court’s current justices faced. Republicans have repeatedly said they're not interested in making a scene.
