“It’s the first time that the committee has had the opportunity to advance the nomination of a black woman to sit on the Supreme Court. This is an historic moment for the committee and for America,” Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday appeared on track to move forward Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, and she was expected to get confirmed by the full Senate in a close vote later this week.
As the Senate Judiciary Committee’s meeting kicked off on Monday morning, the panel’s chairman — Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois — noted the groundbreaking development. “If there is one positive to take away from these attacks on her, it is that the nation saw the temperament of a good, strong person ready to serve on the highest court of the land,” he said.
