tomorrow the senate judiciary committee votes to confirm whether ketanji brown jackson will become the first black woman justice of this u.s. supreme court. the full senate expected to vote in her favor just days after. and just as the racist tactics employed by the right wing to smear judge jackson are nothing new, nor were they in king's day. neither is the support she has received from the civil rights community that embodied her. now, rallied around her. ready to rejoice in her for her expected confirmation. the ark of justice from dr. king to a modern queen, that's "politics nation" tonight and tonight, signs of hope mixed with terrible atrocity in ukraine. even as the russian offensive has not abated in central and southern ukraine and the world gasps in horror at the carnage left by retreating russians forces around kyiv and other cities. the basis for possible peace treaty between ukraine and russia is in the works according to negotiators from both countries. russia saying that work on the treaty's language will resume tomorrow. another big show tonight, a historic week ahead

likely that judge jackson will be physically here on capitol hill at the same time that the senate judiciary committeetors across capitol hill. but right now, the senate judiciary committee looks like it will be a tied vote if nothing changes between now and tomorrow, right down party lines. this is a committee of 22 senators, 11 democrats, 11 republicans. and almost 24 hours of questioning of judge jackson, we have a pretty good question of where each senator falls on her confirmation. hallie, even if it is a tie there, the democrats still have a way of taking this vote from the committee to the senate floor for all 100 senators to be able to vote on her confirmation. that will likely happen, if it does happen, thursday or friday. and if there is a tie on the senate floor between the hundred, it would require vice president kamala harris to come in and be the tie-breaking vote. that would be the first time a vice president has been called in to be a tiebreaking vote in a supreme court confirmation hearing. but it's looking like this will be much less dramatic. republicans, even if they publicly said

however, when i and every other republican member of the senate judiciary committee wrote to judge jackson to request further information, she replied that she had no way of obtaining the requested information because it, quote, is the property of the u.s. district court for the district of columbia and i am no longer a member of that court, close quote. how then did her chambers obtain the information that was provided to the white house and then provided to senate democrats, which came from the presentence reports? do the democrats have something to hide, something that they can avoid, avoid having to reveal and have discussed by rushing judge jackson's nomination? what might it be? it may be the one thing judge jackson steadfastly refused to share -- her judicial philosophy. now, despite my democratic colleagues pretending that judicial philosophy is some sort of arcane and esoteric concept that doesn't matter, americans everywhere instinctively understand its importance. now, while they may not all use the same terminology, americans know why justice, as we imagine lady justice always

i would also like to congratulate her for making it through the senate judiciary committee. the hearing process can be grueling, but it is extremely important. judge jackson demonstrated grace i have concerns about and will not be supporting her to the supreme court by perhaps my greatest issue with the judge jackson is a lack of adherence to a judicial philosophy. i have been very clear with eaco supreme court nominee since i took t a nominee office judge jackson explained during the senate judiciary hearing that she abides by a judicial, quote, methodology instead of a philosophy. this means, according to her, that she begins at a neutral position to understand the facts and to interpret the law, receives all of the appropriate inputs and then interprets the law. well, i would hope that all judges, no matter which court they sit on, approach their rulings from a neutral position and evaluate all applicable court filings. judge jackson's methodology says nothing about the way she understands and subsequently interprets the law. in my mind there are three areas of the law a

senators expressed their position on the nominee last week on the floor. here are some of their comments. >> mr.ia president, last week judiciary committee hearing gave senators the opportunity toec hr directly from president biden's nominee to the supreme court, judge ketanji brownja jackson. to help them decide whether she is an appropriate candidate for the nation's highest court. my approach to deciding whether or not to vote for a supreme court nominee or any judicial nominee is pretty simple. i look at the character and qualifications and most of all i look at the question of whether nominee understands the limited role of the judiciary in the separation of powers. of course has three distinct branches, the legislative branch which makes the loss. the executive branch, the presidentws and executive departments which executes the loss. andud the judiciary which interprets the laws. pretty simple, right? civics 101. too often, however, try to our colleagues on the left look at the judiciary to usurp the role of the legislative branch. they look for activist judges who will not just interpret the law but the gobi on the law to deliver the policy outcomes t

and yet not a single republican voted to advance judge jackson's nomination out of the senate judiciary committee. and only three republicans have publicly expressed support for her. iso i ask my republican colleagues what is it going to take? what is it going to take to put politics aside to support a nominee like judge jackson, because clearly intelligence, extraordinary breadth of experience and a prominent conservative didn't suffice. clearly a candidate that has support from organizations from across the political spectrum from the black and hispanic u.s. chamber of commerce, business organization, to the national education association, thousands of teachers, to the order of police, the largest police union. they wouldn't support somebody soft on crime, to child advocacy groups. who wouldn't be supporting her either as she was not being appropriate in her sentencing of child pornography defendants. so even this breath of support, she didn't make the cut with the republicans on the judiciary committee. so, clearly a nominee who was uniformly called brilliant beyond reproach first rate and in

lawmakers in the state senate judiciary committee will consider a bill that would allow private citizense gun makers transporters and sellers and idea modeled after texas law that takes the same approach to abortion. the more weapons that are off the street, the better senator bob hertzberg is the author of the bill called sb 13 27. we've given ordinary folks, everyday people, the ability to have an incentive to pull him off the street $10,000. plus attorneys fees. >> for weapon. so if your neighbor has transported a gun to their home and it's just it's a it's one of these ghost guns and you see it. you could soon get $10,000. other gun-related rules lawmakers will consider include a measure that would give the state attorney general the power to sue gun manufacturers. >> and another that would further restrict ghost guns in the state. society is becoming. >> a little more free philly, comfortable committing violence. and i think that's a terrible thing to do. public policy needs to take seriously former law enforcement officer and republican assemblyman tom lackey says the democratic pu

here in the u.s., any minute now, the senate judiciary committee is set to vote on the nomination of judge ketanji brown jackson for the supreme court. and more than likely, the vote is expected to end in a tie. we'll explain what happens if that occurs. and out west, the community is grieving on suspects still on the loose after at least two shooters opened fire in sacramento early sunday, leaving six people dead, 12 wounded. we'll bring you the very latest from the scene. >>> this morning, new images appear to depict the aftermath of violent massacres that unfolded in the kyiv suburb of bucha, as russian forces withdrew from the region. i would like to warn you that some of the videos and the images you're about to see are violent and disturbing. ukrainian authorities describing it as a scene out of a horror movie. bodies of innocent civilians laying on the streets, some with bound hands. many with close-range gunshot wounds. one official saying some women appear to have been raped before being killed. in a new video just this morning, ukrainian president zelenskyy is seen visiting

serving as chair of the senate judiciary committee during judge jackson's confirmation has been to the honors of my senate experience. i want to get special thanks to the man who spoke before make republican senator chuck grassley of iowa. his friendship and fairness have really guided our relationship throughout the system or process. in the weeks since president biden announced her nomination judge jackson has already lifted the spirit of countless americans inspiring a new generation. inspiring jurists in public servants. millions of americans see themselveser in judge jackson. black americans, members of law enforcement families, working moms, public high school graduates like her fellow palmetto panthers in florida. everywhere i have gone for the last few weeks when i go home, visiting law schools, going to the grocery store, i've been approached by people who been following this nomination closely. they tell me how deeply impressed they are with judge jackson. even under fire from her critics. hannah is one of those people. she is a law student in waukegan, illinois t city on the

how many times in the course of the 24 hours of questioning she faced last week in the senate judiciary committee i thought that's it i'm going to look up at that table as she is going to stand up and say enough. my family we are going home, we've had it. she never did. under attack, calm under pressure, solid as a pillar she has the skill the attributes we demand from the supreme court nominee. she has devoted her life in serving her country. always working to uphold and honor the constitution. dedicated to protecting judicial independence advancing freedom and liberty and the decisions accessible to all americans but she told that story when she was up for the circuit court that her opinions because she wants everyone tois understand her thinking, start to finish. no mystery here. transit people appearing before her to understand what just happened in that courtroom. why did they win? why did they lose? what were the issues at stake? what did she think about? she takes the time to explain it because she's believes in the law omits all of us to understand and believe as well. i'm probably going

last week, one republican member of the senate judiciary committee called judge jackson, quote, a person of exceptionally good character, respected by her peers, and someone who has worked hard to achieve her current position, unquote. another republican member of the committee noted that she has, quote, impeccable credentials, and a deep knowledge of the law, unquote. so, you would think these were words leading up to state support for justice jackson. but in both those cases, those senators have announced their decision to vote against her. the pattern is the same for too many of our republican colleagues -- come out and praise judge jackson, and then announce they're voting against her. so the question is why, what's the reasoning here. and i've been listening carefully. many of our colleagues tie their opposition to what they have called her, quote, judicial philosophy. they say judge jackson will push her own political ideology at the expense of the law. they say she's going to be an activist instead of a judge. they say she will create new rights from the constitution out of whole

supreme court nomination of jackson expected to pass through the senate judiciary committee and head to the senate floor tomorrow. rich edson joins me on said to bring us the very latest on this story. >> the senate judiciary committee will consider the nomination for the supreme court if the committee votes to advance her nomination. the full senate could vote to confirm her later this week. democrats control the senate and seem to have enough votes to elevate judge jackson. the first black woman to serve on the supreme court. republicans will largely oppose her. a record of judicial activism for liberal causes. >> she is certainly qualified. a great personality. a great colleague on the court. the judicial philosophy seems to be, not the philosophy of looking at what the law says and the constitution says. >> republicans have also attacked jackson over what they say is are flawed methodology and sentencing child pornography cases. the white house says republicans are engaged in bad faith and her sentencing record is well within the mainstream. >> what i know what she will get enough
