What lies ahead for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson in her confirmation process
CBSN
Washington — Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation process will enter its next phase Monday when she appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee to publicly make her case for why she should win approval to sit on the nation's highest court.
Jackson's quest to become the first Black woman on the Supreme Court — the White House hopes with bipartisan support — officially began when she was announced as President Biden's pick to succeed retiring Justice Stephen Breyer at the end of February. Since then, she has been meeting one-on-one with senators while preparing for the question-and-answer session, which will span two of the four days scheduled for the hearings that kick off 24 days after the president's announcement.
Democratic leaders are aiming to confirm Jackson, 51, before the Senate leaves Washington for a two-week recess on April 8.
