Watch Live: Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearings begin

Washington — Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson is appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday for her confirmation hearings, where senators are delivering opening statements before Jackson herself makes remarks.

The hearings, which are scheduled to last four days, come 24 days after President Biden announced the historic selection of Jackson to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court. Questioning is set to begin Tuesday and continue Wednesday.

Jackson became the first Black woman to be selected for the high court, and if confirmed by the evenly divided Senate, she will be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
