9:17:23Now Playing(Mar. 22) Ketanji Brown Jackson’s toughest questioning during Senate hearings this week will be from Republicans seeking to score political points by implying the Supreme Court nominee is soft on crime while pledging to avoid a repeat of past contentious hearings.
Heading into two days of questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee, the 51-year-old federal appeals court judge has advantages -- nine years on the bench, a Harvard pedigree, and a Democratic Senate majority with the power to confirm her on their own. President Joe Biden wants to see some GOP support for his first Supreme Court pick, and the few Republican votes she might win hinge on how she handles the queries.
On Monday’s opening day, Ranking Republican Chuck Grassley vowed that GOP questioning will be respectful even though he and most of the other 10 GOP panel members are hinting they’ll oppose her. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina may join them -- despite backing every Supreme Court nominee since he came to office in 2003. On the panel are three prospective 2024 GOP presidential candidates -- Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Josh Hawley of Missouri -- and each will be looking to use the hearings to polish their appeals to the Republican base.
