Supreme Court candidate Ketanji Brown Jackson responded to senators’ concerns Tuesday throughout the 2nd day of her verification hearings.
The hearing, which began at 9 a.m. ET, was anticipated to last into Tuesday night.
Jackson invested much of the day casting herself as an independent jurist. Early in the hearing, she turned down Republican accusations that she was too lax in sentencing child-pornography wrongdoers. Jackson likewise decreased to address concerns about whether the court must be broadened to more than 9 seats.
Most Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee inspected her judicial record and worldview. Democrats mainly admired President Joe Biden’s candidate, who if validated will end up being the very first Black lady to rest on the Supreme Court.
Jackson in her very first look prior to the Senate panel on Monday provided a summary defense of her profession from the bench. She stated she takes a look at her cases “from a neutral posture” and uses the law “without fear or favor.”
