32:11Now PlayingSen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., questioned Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the Senate Judiciary Committee continued its Supreme Court confirmation hearings March 22. He focused on the framework of the judicial system, asking about the constitutional right to counsel, the importance of a diverse group of law clerks and protecting the right to vote. He also asked about tribal and Indigenous sovereignty and legal issues with the court system.
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.
