The Senate Judiciary Committee is likely to split along party lines Monday when it votes on the nomination of Kentaji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court ahead of an expected final confirmation vote by the full Senate later this week. Jackson is one of seven judicial nominations by President Biden who will be voted on by the 22-member panel during its 10 a.m. meeting, fewer than two weeks after she faced more than 20 hours of questioning about her personal beliefs and record as a judge – particularly her sentencing philosophy. The vote will take place hours after The Post revealed that a convicted sex offender to whom Jackson gave a lenient sentence for violating his probation attacked his sister-in-law soon after his release. The case was not discussed during her confirmation hearings.
