If you ever sneezed too hard before the U.S. Senate is finished with you, everybody’s going to know about it. Lord knows if you ever had a bad day and swung on someone who upset you, it’ll be in the line-up of questioning. Mind you, even before U.S. Senators get their chance to dig into your background and quiz you on the hot seat as a nominee to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, the nominator (in this case, President Joe Biden and his team) have vetted the heck out of you. Let’s be clear: No one wants to get embarrassed with any surprise situations that should have been uncovered before the official hearings begin. So really and truly, the candidate/nominee needs to be honest and upfront. That way no one has to waste time.
In the case of the honorable Ketanji Brown Jackson, it appears that everything is looking good, and so far, everything is coming up roses in terms of the vetting that’s been done on her, President Biden’s choice to become the first African American woman to be sworn in as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
The actual hearings will begin on March 21st in our nation’s capital, and it will be televised for all of us to witness.
With the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer after nearly three decades on the bench coming quickly, it’s good to see the confirmation process moving forward as it should be.
Selecting a new Supreme Court Justice is a process that is always very closely watched. Question is, will senators, both Republicans and Democrats make a sincere effort to get behind Biden’s agenda?
