CBSN
Washington — Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is set to appear before senators for the third day of her confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court, after a marathon session on Tuesday in which she defended her time on the federal bench and vowed to rule impartially if confirmed to the high court.
Tuesday's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee spanned 13 hours of questioning, with senators grilling Jackson on her judicial philosophy, including on abortion, as well as her past rulings.
"I believe that the Constitution is fixed in its meaning. I believe that it's appropriate to look at the original intent, the original public meaning of the words when one is trying to assess, because again that's a limitation on my authority to import my own policy views," Jackson said while being questioned by Republican Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska.
