on the Supreme Court. Questioning is set to begin Tuesday and continue Wednesday.
The addition of Jackson to the Supreme Court will not alter its ideological balance, but at 51 years old, she is positioned to serve for decades. Three Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — backed Jackson's nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals to the District of Columbia Circuit last year.
