    Judge Jackson makes early overtures to Republicans during confirmation hearing.
    Washington Times (Moderate Right) • Factual Grade 72% • 6 min read

    Judge Jackson gave away little on Monday other than to embrace the theory of a limited role for judges. She spent most of her opening statement thanking family and friends and revealing a deep faith in God. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell noted that Judge Jackson authored just two opinions during her time on an appeals court.
    ...
    [Sen. Cory Booker] said Judge Jackson’s pioneering nomination goes beyond her identity and includes her time as an assistant public defender — a first for a potential high court pick — to go along with 8 years as a U.S. district judge and 9 months as a federal appeals court judge.
    ...
    Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Senate’s senior Republican, held the chair for Judge Jackson as she took her seat. In a reference to Justice Kavanaugh’s 2018 confirmation, GOP Sen. Ted Cruz told the nominee, “No one is going to inquire into your teenage dating habits.” GOP Sen. Josh Hawley accused Judge Jackson of going easy on defendants sentenced for child pornography.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - Do I think the world will come to an end soon? No. Do I think our ignorant and greedy footprint will result in irreparable damage? Yes. Why wouldn't it? We use up resources that do not replenish themselves with no abandon, we point to other countries such as China to blame them for the destruction instead of leading the world in the direction of the future, and we continue to think our absurd degree of non-degradable waste is no big deal.
