Biden’s SCOTUS pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson, had her first day in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Monday consisted mostly of opening statements by the senators. Jackson finished the day with hers:
“It is extremely humbling to be considered for Justice Breyer’s seat, and I know that I could never fill his shoes. But if confirmed, I would hope to carry on his spirit,” Jackson said.“Members of this committee, if I am confirmed, I commit to you that I will work productively to support and defend the Constitution and this grand experiment of American democracy that has endured over these past 246 years,” she added.—“During this hearing, I hope you will see how much I love this country, the Constitution, and the rights that make us free. I decide cases from a neutral posture,” she said.”I evaluate the facts, and I interpret and apply the law to the facts of the case before me without fear or favor, consistent with my judicial oath,” she continued. “I know that my role as a judge is a limited one – that the Constitution empowers me only to decide cases and controversies that are properly presented. And I know that my judicial role is further constrained by careful adherence to precedent.”
Well, Klobuchar, there are people in the Senate who have served longer than you. Therefore they’re more qualified to sit on the Judiciary Committee than you or something.
Why does RI keep electing this man?
