Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, with the exception of a brief opening statement, had to sit stoically Monday as members of the Senate Judiciary Committee gave their first indications of what they’d focus on when they questioned her.
When Republicans weren’t bitterly reliving the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, they suggested that she is soft on crime — particularly soft on child predators — or accused her of radicalism by association with some groups that supported her candidacy.
Democrats continually rehashed her resume, highlighting her experience as a public defender and underscoring the historic nature of her nomination.
Today, Jackson gets to respond.
What to Expect:
Members on the committee will get up to 30 minutes each to grill Jackson, in order of seniority. In the second round, they get 20 minutes each.

I imagine she’ll spend plenty of time today biting her tongue while being questioned by the fascist assholes. She’ll do just fine, I’m sure she’s had plenty of practice at biting her tongue.
Has Joke Hawley submitted his LSAT scores yet?
And here’s Grassley. After a friendly, folksy greeting he launches into total assholery. Can conservatives haz free speech? Aaaargh I’m not sure I want to impose this on myself. Y’all have a nice day.
Think I want to tune in for the hawley and blackburn segments, those should be lit.
Grassholes gotta grasshole.
