President Joe Biden's first Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, is set to appear before U.S. senators to start four days of hearings.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who has been nominated by President Joe Biden for the U.S. Supreme Court, is set to begin her Senate confirmation hearings.If confirmed, Jackson would succeed Justice Stephen Breyer, who is retiring.
Jackson's first session at the Judiciary Committee comes a day after the Supreme Court disclosed that its oldest justice, Clarence Thomas, had been hospitalized with an infection. Jackson, 51, will deliver an opening statement after remarks from the committee's 22 members. The hearing will start at 11 a.m. ET.
When she does, she is expected to field a barrage of questions from Republicans on her judicial record and philosophy. Some GOP senators have already criticized Jackson's stances on issues ranging from court packing to the criminal sentencing of defendants convicted of child-pornography charges.
