After sitting through hours of soliloquies from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will face dozens of questions about her career on the second day of her confirmation hearing. The first day of hearings featured opening statements from all 22 committee members as well as Jackson, who would be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court if confirmed. “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 told the panel, later adding: “I have been a judge for nearly a decade now. And I take that responsibility and my duty to be independent very seriously.”
