In this episode, Dr. Goodwin is joined by Syovata Edari, Zinelle October, Danielle Holley-Walker and Steve Vladeck to unpack Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's historic Supreme Court confirmation hearings, including her seeming walk through fire. They 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? They also probe what happens next.
This episode is the third in the “On the Issues” Road to Confirmation series, following the nomination and confirmation process of President Biden’s nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court. Dr. Goodwin will take listeners through each step of the confirmation process as it happens in real time, with commentary and analysis from experts.

“I saw a complete display of a lack of respect for the rule of law and our Constitution. It was really disheartening to see, and quite scary, if I do say so myself. And what we saw on display, Michele, is conservatives have made clear that Roe, Griswold, Obergefell, and even Loving are on the table.” — Zinelle October
“I think what we saw on display was really Judge Jackson’s just incredible legal knowledge. She is obviously brilliant, one of the brightest legal minds that we have in the United States. We saw a lot about her family. I was touched by seeing her husband sitting next to her, right behind her and her daughters on the first day.” — Danielle Holley-Walker
“It was really a tale of two hearings. It was the hearing that the Democrats tried to have about Judge Jackson’s record, and it was the hearing that the Republicans wanted to know about, you know, perceived grievances left over from the confirmations of Justice Brett Kavanagh, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and I think that’s what we’ve seen, some pretty frustrating misrepresentations.” — Steve Vladeck
“You know, you can’t say that one person is entitled to the Constitutional rights and somebody else is not—and is this what they’re suggesting? That not everybody in this country is entitled to the rights guaranteed under the Constitution?” — Syovata Edari
