judge jackson sows cicely white such definition fits her and i hope it is demonstrated in the committee hearing next week. i now turn to ranking member grassley for his remarks. >> i joined a quest to hold the nominees for one week, i'll have specific things to say about tthe nomination of judge jackson at that meeting. a week from today. i want to just shoot speak a little bit about process. dammit democrats have taken to repeatedly mentioning that judge jackson has been confirmed by the senate three times. two of which were noncontroversial, using votes for positions like the us sentencingcommission . it's going to make it much harder to convert anyone to those positions and it encourages senators to apply the same standard used for evaluating the supreme court nominations to every single position. and democrats had applied the approach that they want republicans to use now that would be one thing but we know that they haven't. democrats have voted against nominees that were confirmed unanimously for the circuit court. president biden did that four times as a united states senator . 1
