Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee, on Thursday moved closer to securing Senate confirmation in the next two weeks, while experts from the nation’s leading lawyers’ group dismissed Republican claims that she was “soft on crime” including child pornography.
As the Senate Judiciary Committee held the fourth and final day of Jackson’s confirmation hearing, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, said the chamber was “on track” to confirm the federal appellate judge to the lifetime job before its expected break for Easter on April 8.
