YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSenate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., kicked off a week of confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden's nominee for the Supreme Court. Durbin called her “independent-minded” and noted the historic nature of her nomination as both the first Black woman and the first since former justice Thurgood Marshall with "considerable criminal defense experience," nodding to her work as a public defender.
“I am fully confident you’ll serve Americans from all walks of life, all backgrounds, fairly and faithfully,” Durbin said.
Jackson was nominated by Biden in February to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. If confirmed, she will be the first Black woman on the high court.
