In this episode, Dr. Goodwin is joined by Jill Wine-Banks, as they turn back to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings, and the messaging that played out. Ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, what were Republican senators signaling? What’s ahead for the First Amendment? Criminal justice? LGBTQ equality? Are senators signaling the desire to do away with fundamental constitutional protections, and why? What issues should the public be concerned about?
This episode is the fourth 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 takes listeners through each step of the confirmation process as it happens in real time, with commentary and analysis from experts.

“I have seen the politicization of the Court and of the hearings, and almost really the destruction of the consent function of the Senate with these hearings. It was really uncalled for, unnecessary.” —Jill Wine-Banks
"It’s very deeply troubling as we are less than seven months away from the midterm elections. It’s something to be really, really seriously worried about when people are trying to undermine democracy, and I think this confirmation hearing was certainly one example." —Jill Wine-Banks
“It worries me that the Supreme Court is going to be taking up cases that could lead to states not having to provide lawyers for those who cannot afford lawyers... The First Amendment is clearly at risk in many, many ways.” —Jill Wine-Banks
