After three long days of confirmation hearings, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden's pick to be the next Supreme Court justice, largely acquitted herself well.
She was controlled and calm and mostly needed to reassure Democrats so they stick together in voting for her. If they do, she would be confirmed as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, and there's no reason to think that won't happen at this point.

Arguing about a 50 year old theory is stupid. This lady is highly qualified, even more so than the last 2 appointees.
This circus that takes place now every time a SCOTUS replacement gets nominated needs to stop. Perhaps they should do it in private. Then we would not see the Senators grandstanding.

And she ran away from her own position on CRT, several times denying it even though she sits on a school board that endorsed it.
