Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson will face questions at confirmation hearing's second day
CNN
President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, is expected to face intense questioning on Tuesday from Republican senators during the second day of her historic confirmation hearings.
The hearings kicked off on Monday with opening statements from senators on the panel and the nominee. Two days of questioning -- expected to be the most contentious part of the public vetting process on Capitol Hill -- begin on Tuesday and continue through Wednesday.
Democrats have so far used the hearings to praise Brown -- who would be the first Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court justice -- as an exceptionally qualified, trail-blazing nominee whose depth and breadth of experience, including as a federal public defender, would add a valuable and unique perspective to the bench.
