Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation: Senators spar on 'soft on crime;' Jackson touts civil rights 'progress'

The third day of Supreme Court  confirmation hearings Wednesday for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson kicked off with disputes among senators whether the White House was withholding documents from Republicans and whether Jackson was too soft on crime. 

"What my being here," Jackson told the senators, "… is about the progress that we've made in this country in a very short period of time," Jackson said. 

"Seems like a long time but in one generation we've gone from the reality of my parents upbringing to the reality of mine," she continued. "I do consider myself having been born in 1970 to be the first generation to benefit from the civil rights movement," she said.
