committee members marsha blackburn, spoke on the senate floor about supreme court nominee judge ketanji brown jackson. >> the person last week senate judiciary committee which i chair to help the hearing of judge ketanji brown jackson to serve as associate justice in the u.s. supreme court it was an opportunity to learn a lot about her, her qualifications, her experience, her approach to cases, her judicial temperament and temperament before the committee she proved to the public what many of us suspected than some new, she's without a doubt ready to serve on the supreme court. in a spoken to you before about judge ketanji brown jackson's background in the qualifications and it repeating it because this is the critical week before we consider her nomination next week on the floor the senate she's the daughter of two schoolteachers, public school teachers, and judge ketanji brown jackson, her passion for the law at the age of four, her dad decided to give up teaching, he had another profession in mind, he was would become a lawyer predict and so he would sit at the kitchen table with his law books all

say it was the democrats of tarnished the proceedings by ignoring their duty to vet judge ketanji brown jackson was up for a lifetime appointments, to the highest court in the land and they feel it was media to tarnished the momentum by politicizing, politicizing the hearing. now, i cannot support judge ketanji brown jackson nomination to theem supreme court but i'm withholdingwi my support for reasons why democratic a colleagues in the media have chosen to ignore. for all of the focus that my colleagues had been limited hope that judge ketanji brown jackson would come ready to tell us about hers but she didn't and instead she came armed with a methodology that spoke to her process that said very little about her approach, the constitutional interpretation and after the hysteria they came out at amy coney barrett, that we might discover what my democratic colleagues think would be more effective than a constitutionalist but i will note, to ask that, you are not supposed to do that, but suddenly, judicial philosophy meant nothing, they said don't asked that question, what roll thehe constitution

were nominated to the supper imported so to my democratic colleagues, as you celebrate judge ketanji brown jacksonential renters into the course, as those of us on the committee asking questions of judge ketanji brown jackson's judicial philosophy how she sentences people and why liberal completing the tank on issues like this, sons highlights watch you my democratic colleagues, stop the ascension an african-american conservative nominated by president bush when he came her potential of being on the supreme court, merge into filibuster and consider her ideology unacceptable to conservative so if you're a conservative company, color and women, it is okay to use her ideology against you if you question the ideology and judging ability of a liberal african-american, the nominee, you are races in those days are over for me. i very little respect for what is going on in modern america to the judges, one was nominated by president bush 43. i highly qualified man, hispanic to be on the court and he fell victim in the filibuster we companies in the 2003, era, he did not make it through the - and justice j

a world famous scholar like ketanji jackson, that should be slow and steady down the plate. man, jackson would've said looking incredulous? that simple. a woman is a human being with 2x chromosomes. ask any geneticist. if you're still confused by what a woman is, you can ask a doctor. women have wider pelvis is an different bone structures from men, not to mention different. it's obvious to women looking at them. women are built differently because their bodies are designed to do different things. nature is real. women and men straight. women give birth and breastfeed. men do not do these things because they can't. not a single man in all human history has ever had his period or delivered a baby and i noticed, senator, because i'm a woman myself. that's why i'm here. biden nominated me because i am female and said so himself many times. the president knows exactly what he woman is. if he didn't know, he wouldn't have picked me, obviously. please, senator blackburn, do not waste my time. with all due respect, that's an incredibly stupid question. imagine if she said that. what

ketanji brown jackson.he is more qualified than anyone sitting on the bench. if you look at her record, lindsey graham, josh hawley, and ted cruz and the rest of them tried to disparage her by calling her literally un-american. she is more qualified than them to even be senators. i am disappointed. this particular seat they want to get down. when cavanagh was going through his stuff -- when judge kavanaugh was going through his stuff and he -- they brought accusations against him and amy coney barrett. she based her whole career on faith answer comes lindsey graham nt once political theatrics. that is all it is. host: william in new york, good morning. caller: i oppose this lady, she is a wolf in sheep's clothing -- a wolf in sheep's clothing. she is into critical race theory and she wants to train up kids to be racist. host: why do you think she wants to train people to be racist? caller: because she is in this public school in d.c. she lied that she is not in this committee with all of these books. host:

supreme court nominee judge kentucky brown jackson was on capitol hill for the first day -- ketanji brownackson was on capitol hill for the first day of her confirmation hearings. >> i come here today as a retired federal appears court judge with 15 years of experience on the u.s. court of appeals for the d.c. circuit. i come as a jurist appointed by george w. bush. i come here as someone who understands that there are few greater responsibilities under the it takes a jurist of high character, keen intellect, deep legal knowledge, and broad experience to ensure judiciary plays its unique role under the constitution. ce to ensure that the judiciary placed its unique role , to uphold the rule of law impartially and not to be "par tisans in robes." i have the high honor to introduce judge ketanji brown jackson, a jurist who has all those qualities. when president biden introduced her, the american people got their first glimpse of judge jackson's character. she began her remarks with an expression of her faith in god and her gratitude for this nation, which she rightly observed is the greate

so far the star has not been ketanji jackson.has been a junior senator from new jersey called cory booker. like ketanji jackson, cory booker is a world-class legal notonly attended stanford and ye law school, but went all the way to oxford university in england on a coveted rhodes scholarship. quite the resume. if academic credentials still had connection to the ability for achievement, cory booker would be a very impressive person. in this case, we'll have to grade on a curve because cory booker has come a long way. cory booker has been to a world you've never been to. a hard unforgiving world of crime, dk cory booker is from the streets of new york. "i still remember my first month on the street," he said. "i walked up to this charismatic black guy my age called t-bone who is one of the drug lords. he leapt up in front of me, walked in the eye, and said, who the blank do you think you are a question mark if you look at me again, i'll put a cap in your ass. delma." as joe biden said, he was a bad dude. the two became close? unit

"she's a top legal mind! shut up, you aren't allowed to ask for proof." you've got mazie hirono, the senate's dumbest member, don't you to ask for her test scores. we know what they are. she's incurious to know that judge jackson was nominated because of race and after joe biden bragged repeatedly that judge jacks

jackson represented as an attorney. we'll have more on that issue, and day 2 of ketanji brown jackson's historic confirmation hearings after headlines. in coronavirus news, new york city and other parts of the northeast have reported an uptick in cases as the omicron subvariant ba.2 spreads. one genomics firm estimates ba.2 now represents between 50% to 70% of all u.s. cases, though many health experts say they do not expect a major surge. new york city mayor eric adams announced the city's mask mandate for children under five will be dropped on april 4 if officials deem case numbers remain low enough. this comes as the biden administration said this week it does not have sufficient funds to purchase a fourth vaccine dose for all u.s. citizens if called for and urged lawmakers to pass a stalled $15 billion funding package. white house press secretary jen psaki has tested positive for the coronavirus for the second time in five months. hillary clinton also announced she has covid and is experiencing mild cold symptoms. oxfam international is warning 28 million people in eastern africa a at risk of famine as the region remai

no president has ever chosen a more qualified nominee, for the supreme court, then judge ketanji brown jacksons born here, in washington, for public school teachers, to express both pride, and heritage, and in the hope for the future, they gave me an african name. ketanji, which they were told, means lovely. my parents taught me, unlike the many barriers they have had to face growing up, my path was clear were. so that if i worked hard, and i believed in myself, in america, i could do anything, or be anything, i wanted to be. >> no member of the supreme court has, ever, had a better educational credentials than judge jackson, an honors graduate of harvard law school. now, several justices have had academic ridden shows, equal to judge jackson, but none, not one, has ever had better academic credentials. in fact, most of the 115 supreme court justices did not even graduate from law school. only 49 of them, were actually law school graduates. first 127 years, the supreme court was a bastion of affirmative action for white christian man, only. those white christian men did not have to compete wit

i have the high honor to introduce judge ketanji brown jackson, a jurist who has all those qualities. when president biden introduced her, the american people got their first glimpse of judge jackson's character. she began her remarks with an expression of her faith in god and her gratitude for this nation, which she rightly observed is the greatest beacon of hope and democracy the world has ever known. i first met judge jackson in 2013 after the senate has confirmed her as trial judge. two years later, she joined the d.c. circuit judge is appellate judge. i have had many duties to observe her work over the years. on several occasions, i reviewed her decisions on appeal. although we did not always agree on the outcome of the lot required, i respected her diligent and careful approach, her deep understanding, and collegial manner -- indispensable traits for a justice. about her collegial manner, that teacher is often overlooked. -- that feature is often overlooked. . my former collea federal judiciary, michael chernoff, david leavy, andrew elford, all highly respected judicial conserva

the answer bite ketanji brown jackson, the federal judge of the d.c. circuit judge, was an obvious answer. when asked if she wants to pack the court, she said that is not my job. you would have the power if you wished to change the composition of the court. i as a judge do not have that authority. think of the number one reason why you can't support her is less than compelling. the second thing he raised is something we heard over and over again. judge jackson, what is your philosophy? tell us your philosophy when it comes to the work. we want to make sure we know when it comes to the constitution. anton's glia was originalist and supreme court justice kavanaugh is a contextual list. there have been many other schools of thought. the bottom line is that she has said, i have published 573 opinions. here is my body of work. take a look at it. almost every topic under the sun. so if you want to know how she thinks, she can reference however she wishes, but her words already speak for herself and she has provided 12,000 pages from her time on the sentencin

let's switch to the hearings of judge ketanji brown jackson. you not only got a front row seat, but unfortunately, you had to witness the attacks on judge jackson's character by senate republicans. despite the onslaught of this, judge jackson handled herself with intellect, grace, and poise under pressure. we could all learn a thing or two from her. now democrats expect judge jackson to receive full support from their 50 members caucus, but there are still a few who haven't made their preference known. that's not enough to get her appointed. it's still up in the air whether any republicans will support her at all. what can you tell where you are, where are we in this process now? what are the next steps, and do you think it is important to have a bipartisan vote? >> first of all, al, she's going to walk with her head high when she walks into that supreme court. pillar of strength. every little girl and boy in this country is going to know anything and everything is possible. she was an incredible nominee, dodging the worst of the questions, and
