These highlights from the third day of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearing to be a Supreme Court justice include her comments on being what she called “the lucky inheritor of the civil rights dream.” Republican Senators Chuck Grassley (IA), Lindsey Graham (SC), Ted Cruz (TX), and Josh Hawley (MO) questioned the nominee about her judicial philosophy, decisions over her previous decade serving as a judge, and record in sentencing of child pornography offenders. Then, Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) addressed Republican concerns over not having access to pre-sentencing reports from several child pornography cases overseen by Judge Jackson. Judge Jackson later answered questions from Republican Senators Graham and Thom Tillis (NC) about a federal case involving affirmative action in higher education and a previous immigration decision that was later overturned. Finally, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) during his 20 minutes defended Judge Jackson’s record. close
