Rep. Joyce Beatty, serving as a witness for SCOTUS nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, said the Senate should confirm her not only because she will be the first Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court justice, but because she is “qualified.”
The witnesses called on by Republicans and Democrats gave opening statements before the Senate Judiciary Committee.Beatty lauded the historic nature of Judge Jackson's nomination.
"I am here for an experience of dedicated prosecutors that are concerned about the direction our country is headed as it relates to law and order," he said. "The Supreme Court nomination will benefit enormously from the keen intelligence and impeccable integrity, broad experience, and intellectual open-mindedness of a Justice Jackson," she said.Mascott, a former Kavanaugh law clerk, spoke about how judges evaluate the constitution.
She advocated about her work and discussed how she and other councilors were mischaracterized by Judge Jackson during thecase, a free speech case that challenged buffer zones outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts.Rosenthal has known Judge Brown since high school. He spoke about her character and achievements early in her life.
She pointed out CRT's"erroneous" statements and suggested that if Jackson follows the ideals of CRT. Russell said this adherence to the CRT philosophy will hinder Jackson's ability to uphold the constitution and apply the law in a fair, just way because she believes racism is systematic and that the law is inherently flawed.
