3:19Now PlayingSen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to discuss her parents’ influence on her own values on the second day of the Supreme Court confirmation hearings, March 22.
Jackson said her bedrock values came from both of her parents, who were the first in their families to go to college. After that, they moved to Washington, D.C., where her mom worked in a school.
“I was born here under that hope and dream,” she said. “I was born with an African name my parents gave me to demonstrate pride in who they were and hope in what I could be.”
Jackson was nominated by President Joe Biden in February to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. If confirmed, she will be the first Black woman on the high court. After opening statements from Jackson, her colleagues and the senators March 21, senators will spend two days questioning Jackson at length about her rulings and judicial philosophy. On the final day of the hearings March 24, the Senate Judiciary Committee will hear from friends and colleagues of Jackson about her temperament and approach to the law.
