The Latest: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's SCOTUS Nomination
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday wrapped up its confirmation hearings on the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, clearing the way for the committee to send the nomination to the full Senate in the coming weeks.
The next step in the process for Jackson’s nomination is set to occur Monday, March 28th, although it’s mostly a procedural step.
After the Senate Judiciary Committee concludes its hearings on a nomination, it traditionally “holds over” the nomination for one week before voting to advance the nomination to the Senate floor. The hold-over period allows senators to continue one-on-one meetings with the nominee, who can respond in person and in writing to any outstanding questions.
Today's hearing will mark the beginning of the hold-over period which would end on April 4th ― the next time the Senate Judiciary Committee takes up the nomination.
