The Senate Judiciary Committee has scheduled hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson for the week of March 21. If confirmed, Jackson would be the first Black woman to serve as a justice in the court’s 200-plus year history.
After Schumer and Jackson sat down in the Capitol to talk, Schumer said the Senate will move the nomination “fairly but expeditiously.”
“You can see it when you meet her that she has real empathy,” Schumer said. “I think it’s very important in a judge because you’re having two sides clashing over whatever the issue is, to be able to empathize and walk in the other person’s shoes.” Jackson, 51, was confirmed last year as an appeals court judge in Washington after eight years on the district court. She once worked as one of Breyer’s law clerks and served on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the agency that develops federal sentencing policy.
