Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson will face the Senate Judiciary Committee for the first time Monday as four days of confirmation hearings get underway — with Republicans expected to hammer her with tough questions about her views on crime and her past experience as a public defender.Jackson, who is likely to be confirmed as the first black woman on the Supreme Court, will make an opening statement soon after the 11 a.m. hearing gets underway before answering questions from the panel’s 11 Democrats and 11 Republicans over the next two days.It isn’t yet clear how aggressively Republicans will go after the 51-year-old, who has been a federal judge since 2013, given her confirmation won’t alter the court’s 6-3 conservative majority.
