Texas’ two Republican senators once again brought the heat Wednesday as U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson faced a second day of lawmaker questioning on Capitol Hill.
“Why do you not want the American people to know what happened?” Cruz shouted over Durbin, dissatisfied with Jackson’s answers on the matter.
Jackson called them “horrible crimes” and said “as a mother” she takes every case seriously. She said she considered a range of factors, including but not limited to all the arguments — Congress’ directive and the governments’ recommendations, as sentencing guidelines require. “I’ve said what I’m going to say about these cases. No one case can stand in for a judge’s entire record,” she later added.
Njeri Mathis Rutledge, professor of law at South Texas College of Law Houston, noted that none of the senators were able to say Jackson did not follow the law.
