On The Issues With Michele Goodwin

Road to Confirmation: Judge Jackson's Walk Through Fire (with Syovata Edari, Steve Vladeck, Zinelle October and Danielle Holley Walker)


Listen Later

In this episode, "On the Issues" continues its Road to Confirmation series, unpacking Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's historic Supreme Court confirmation hearings, including her seeming walk through fire. We examine the hearings, including Judge Jackson's judicial temperament, judicial and legal experience, as well as conduct of the Senate Judiciary Committee. How did a process meant to be rigorous, but respectful and fair turn into days of badgering, bullying, and a litmus test on religion? We also probe what happens next.

Joining us for this timely discussion are very special guests.
