Sheldon Whitehouse says it's important to have judicial integrity and temperament — but that a "judicial philosophy" is often a smoke screen for a policy-driven approach to judging that powerful special interests want to see. He cites "originalism" as an example. — PolitiTweet.org

Graham to KBJ on an immigration ruling: "This is an example—to me, and you may not agree—where the plain language of the statute was completely wiped out by you. You reached a conclusion because you disagreed with the Trump admin... That to me is Exhibit A of activism." — PolitiTweet.org

GRAHAM: Do you believe illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote, Judge Jackson? JACKSON: Under our laws, you have to be a citizen of the US in order to vote. GRAHAM: So the answer would be no? JACKSON: It's not consistent with our laws, so the answer is no. — PolitiTweet.org

Lindsey Graham is up. He goes right back to Janice Rogers Brown and assails Democrats for filibustering her ascent to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. (She was eventually confirmed in 2005.) — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy, who has participated in 20 Supreme Court nominations spanning 45 years, tells Ketanji Brown Jackson: "And you will — and you will — become a member of the US Supreme Court." https://t.co/IDgYkqntJx — PolitiTweet.org

Ketanji Brown Jackson on her judicial philosophy: "It's a process of understanding what the core foundational principles are in the Constitution, as captured by the text, as originally intended, and then applying those principles to modern day." — PolitiTweet.org

Ossoff asks KBJ how she'll approach cases that implicate press freedom. She highlights the First Amendment freedoms found in NYT v. Sullivan (which conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch have publicly suggested be rolled back). — PolitiTweet.org

Ossoff asks Jackson about her "presidents are not kings" line from a Trump-related ruling. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
And Jon Ossoff jumps in, tells his colleagues to cut it out. He says Americans tuned in to this hearing to listen to substantive discussions. "I don't think we set an appropriate time by bickering about time and process at the outset of our proceedings." He'd like his time. https://t.co/MGFMAoUApg — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans jump in to take issue w/ Durbin "editorializing" post-GOP remarks. Cornyn says he feels misrepresented. Kennedy says it's not even-handed. "It's called chairman's time. It is a tradition in this committee," Durbin says, noting Grassley & Graham did it too as chair. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Durbin: "Yesterday your nomination turned out to be a testing ground for conspiracy theories and culture war theories. The more bizarre the charges against you and your family, the more I understand the social media scoreboard lit up yesterday. I'm sorry we have to go thru this." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Durbin rebuts the “soft on crime” charges. “You made a mess of their stereotype,” he tells KBJ. He says it’s “ironic” that the senator from Missouri (Hawley) “unleashed this discredit attack” accusing her of what judges he has supported have done on child pornography sentencing. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Dick Durbin opens by saying a number Republicans have conducted themselves respectfully and asked relevant questions — but not all. "For many senators, yesterday was an opportunity to showcase talking points for the November election," he says. — PolitiTweet.org

DAY 3 of the Ketanji Brown Jackson hearing gets underway soon. What's next? First round wraps up with 30 minutes each of questioning from Jon Ossoff and Thom Tillis. Then a second round, giving senators 20 minutes to ask more questions. This'll be quicker. Some may yield time. — PolitiTweet.org

@GraceAl38236563 she literally said she's uncomfortable doing that. and that strikes me as fair given that she's a judge, not a politician. I'm quoting her, not criticizing her — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kennedy asks a good question: When is it appropriate for SCOTUS to scrap precedent? KBJ cites several factors: When the ruling was "egregiously wrong" Reliance on the decision If it's workable or unworkable If new facts come to light Whether case law in the area shifts https://t.co/GkYDBr5RZh — PolitiTweet.org

KBJ: "I have an opinion about the efforts. It's not an opinion that I think is appropriate for me to share. And so therefore I don't have anything further to add." "I would be thrilled to be one of however many Congress thought it appropriate to put on the court." — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Kennedy tries to ask the court expansion question countless different ways. KBJ says she hasn't given it a ton of thought and doesn't believe judges should discuss their political opinions anyway. "I hear the arguments on both sides and I understand it to be a political issues." https://t.co/3mFtcOqe46 — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
KBJ is back in the seat. Sen. John Kennedy is up—and revisits court packing. She gives the same answer, declining to say if it's a good idea or if it'd delegitimize the courts. "I think that would be for you to decide," she says. She's uncomfortable talking political issues. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Sen. John Cornyn says Ketanji Brown Jackson has "done pretty well" at her Supreme Court hearing. "She's going to get confirmed," he tells me. He says he's undecided—leaning no—in part due to her judicial philosophy. He adds it's an open question how many GOP votes she gets. — PolitiTweet.org
