Watch Live: Judge Jackson’s Confirmation Hearing: Day 3

Wednesday, Day 3 of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Confirmation Hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee features another day of pointless questions that tell us nothing about what kind of lifetime Justice she would be. Today’s Q&A gives the Senators 20 minutes each to probably re-ask questions they asked on Tuesday with their 30 minutes each…

Yay.

Us.

Day 2 recap:

Here’s the thing about recaps, they suck. The reason?

I watched it all day minus the hour I missed to make dinner and my brain is mushy at almost ten p.m. at night with a wake up call of five in the morning.

So, here is my hot take; she’s more than qualified to hold a seat on the Supreme Court.

Why?

Because she–like me sat from nine a.m. D.C., time Tuesday morning until just before ten p.m. D.C., time answering or attempting to answer the Senators questions.

Unlike me, she didn’t once tell one of the assholes to fuck off.

Daniel Dale did do some fact-checking…

(Just posting the context because Sen. Graham and Sen. Cornyn challenged her on the "war crimes" accusation without outlining why she had made the accusation.)

Expert @steve_vladeck adds that "it's more than a little misleading to suggest that claims in that lawsuit are necessarily claims about the named respondents personally," since the filings had to name the President and Defense Sec as respondents. https://t.co/H1mJ5s6zVv

Finally, and oh by the way, the *reason* why #GTMO habeas petitions *have* to name the President and Secretary of Defense, versus naming the government generally, is because of #SCOTUS's sovereign immunity jurisprudence and the "officer suits" exception it has carved into it.

Jackson, then pretty new in private practice, was the third-listed author on that brief. But regardless of who wrote it, it wasn’t a general insult of pro-life people.

He tried again.

Again, here is the quote from the 2001 brief Jackson co-authored for clients arguing for “buffer zones” outside clinics. “Hostile, noisy crowd” was specifically about pro-life activists who confront and obstruct patients trying to enter the facilities. https://t.co/oOM6qzuxad https://t.co/mHYdSPWQPS pic.twitter.com/lggjGrFGxK

From Daniel Dale’s imagine he shared: Few American citizens who seek to exercise constitutionally protected rights must run a gauntlet through a hostile, noisy crowd of “in-your-face” protesters.

The statement is found on page 5 of the 13 page PDF Daniel Dale links in his above tweet.

“This was really misleading.”
