Day two highlights of Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearing include Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) giving Judge Jackson an opportunity to preempt Republicans' criticism of her record, including the contention that she was lenient on defendants in child pornography cases. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) then presses Judge Jackson on this issue. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and John Cornyn (R-TX) ask the nominee about her work as a lawyer advocating for due process rights of suspected terrorists detained at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Chair Durbin refutes the claim that Judge Jackson called former President George W. Bush and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld “war criminals.” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) questions Judge Jackson about her views on critical race theory, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) asks her the same question she has asked nine previous Supreme Court nominees, and several senators asked about her judicial philosophy. close
