Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson could be confirmed with a simple democratic majority. But even that won't shield her from tough questioning, which Republicans hinted they'll ask.
PHILADELPHIA -- Catherine Hicks had a better portion of her Monday planned around one thing: the Senate confirmation hearing of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
"This is not normal, it's never happened before," said Sen. Corey Booker ."The Senate is poised to break another barrier." "I hope that you've seen with hard, work, determination and love, it can be done," said Jackson to her daughters in her speech. " we're all racist if we ask hard questions. It's not gonna fly with us," said Sen. Lindsey Graham ."It's not gonna matter a bit to any of us. We're going to ask you what we think you need to be asked. Senator Holly, you need to ask her about her record as a district court judge.""I'm confident the American people will see through these attacks and any other last-minute attempts to derail your confirmation," said Sen.
