Ketanji Brown Jackson to face senators' questions

{O/C} Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson is due to face senators' questions later today.

This, as Democrats are wasting no time pushing to quickly confirm her nomination as the only Black female justice to the Supreme Court in its 233-year history.

Ketanji was nominated late last month by U.S. President Joe Biden.

She listened to senators' opening statements yesterday, the first of four days of Judiciary Committee hearings on her nomination.

She is expected to be grilled by Republicans later today on charges she's been too lenient in sentencing on criminal matters.

If her nomination is to be confirmed, she will replace departing Justice Stephen Breyer, who's set to retire after 28 years on the bench.
