Confirmation hearings begin Monday for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the federal judge President Biden has picked to fill Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer's seat when he retires this summer.
Democrats are hoping to finish Jackson's confirmation process before Congress leaves for Easter recess April 11.
I am very impressed by Ketanji Jackson, I like the idea of a legal aid attorney on the Supreme Court to bring balance to an institution dominated by prosecutors. Often I think president's first nominees are the best - I also was impressed by Neil Gorsuch, Sonia Sotomayor and John Roberts. Often second and third choices to the court by presidents are back benchers, the people the president previously passed over as not as good. Wish her best of luck in her confirmation, she'll be great for the court.
