On Thursday, Ketanji Brown Johnson, Supreme Court nominee for Ketanji Black Jackson was confirmed. She is now one step closer in her quest to become the first Black woman on America’s most powerful court.

Jackson is a former federal judge at 51 and was President Joe Biden’s first Supreme Court nominee. She will have to wait at most two weeks for the Senate vote on her confirmation. However, her performance at the hearings did not seem to increase confidence in her nomination.

Jackson could be confirmed with support from just 50 senators in an evenly divided chamber. Vice President Kamala Harris is the tiebreaker vote. She has not been opposed by any Democrats.

On Wednesday night, Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), stated that the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Jackson’s nomination. The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on the nomination if it passes.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Thursday that he would push for “her nomination to come to the floor quickly.” According to him, the Senate “is on target” for Jackson’s confirmation “by end of this time period” or by April 8, he said.

Jackson appears to have reached the end of what is probably her most difficult part. Two days of exhausting hearings followed by a second. Jackson endured more than 23 hours of questioning from the Senate Judiciary Committee that at times appeared hostile — and occasionally grew emotional.

Jackson was accompanied by her husband while she appeared before the committee. Both Jackson and her husband were a bit teary-eyed after Democratic Sens. Alex Padilla, California, and Cory Booker from New Jersey praised her nomination.

Jackson, who was wiping her eye at one point on Wednesday, said that she hoped to “inspire people to pursue this path” because she loves the country and law.

Jackson’s lengthy resume was among the topics being questioned by Republican lawmakers. They also referred to a number of conservative wedge issues which had some connection with her nomination such as transgender rights and critical race theory.

Jackson’s sentencing record was the most important focus of their investigation in only a handful cases related to child pornography.

GOP Senators suggested that Jackson’s track record suggests a pattern in being too gentle when sentencing child-porn offender. fact-checkers have disputed those characterizations.

Jackson kept a steady speaking pace, and didn’t raise her voice for both hearings. Jackson began to express frustration as Republican members spent many hours deliberating on the child-porn case.

Tom Cotton, R. Ark. asked Jackson one time if she regretted a certain sentencing decision. The judge replied: “What I regret is that in a hearing about my qualifications … we’ve spent a lot of time focusing on this small subset of my sentences.”

Jackson received praise from the Democrats of the panel, while they defended her against any criticisms and occasionally raged over her treatment by Republicans. Jackson was silent on several occasions, while other members debated about Jackson’s nature and Republicans’ attempt to see sensitive personal information in relation to the disputed cases of child-porn.

Jackson was unanimously awarded the top ranking of “American Bar Association” by members.Well Qualified“” also responded to criticisms of Jackson’s sentence record in their testimony at Thursday’s hearing.

Nearly one month had passed since Biden named Jackson his nominee for the Judiciary Committee’s fourth and final hearing. Jackson had a private meeting with each senator before the public hearings started. Almost all offered compliments after their meeting with Jackson.

However, it is not known if Jackson will be supported by Republicans when it comes to voting.

Jackson received bipartisan support when Biden appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit in less than a full year. Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina was among three Republican senators who voted with all Senate Democrats for her confirmation.

During her Supreme Court confirmation hearings Graham became one of Jackson’s most hostile critics. He repeatedly interrupted her answers, aggressively relitigated her child-porn sentencing record and at one point accused her of judicial “activism” in a past ruling in an immigration case.

The Sens will be watched by the Democrats as well. Susan Collins, R.-Maine and Lisa Murkowski R.Alaska were the other GOP members to vote for Jackson’s confirmation last year.

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) stated that Jackson displayed a lack of candor during the hearings.
