About this episode

The Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings for President Biden's Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson continue today.

Some Republicans were tough on her when it comes to her record on federal child sex abuse cases, while Democrats also gave her the opportunity to clarify her positions.
