Yet in the 50-50 Senate, where a Trump-era rules change means it is no longer necessary to muster broad support to confirm Supreme Court nominees, the hearings have become less about the vote ahead and more about framing the politics of the eventual outcome.
Republican senators are focusing on a narrow slice of the judge’s work, the child pornography cases that Jackson herself has said are among “the most difficult” of her career — some of which still give her nightmares. One witness called by Republicans was Alessandra Serano, the chief legal officer of Operation Underground Railroad, a Utah based anti-trafficking nonprofit group. It is under criminal investigation in the state for exaggerating its role in law enforcement arrests involving child predators, in order to fundraise.
At one point Thursday, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., tried to air some of these points. He asked Alabama’s Marshall whether Biden was the “duly elected president” of the United States.Pressed if the witness was purposefully omitting the words “duly elected,” Marshall simply reiterated: “I’m answering the question. He is the president of the United States.”
