In a Supreme Court confirmation process so far lacking in drama and rancor, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will take the next step this week in a process that, by all accounts, will soon make her the 116th justice.
The 51-year-old nominee goes before the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday for public hearings with supporters promoting her deep legal background, perceived empathy and history-making potential.
Her rise would fulfill President Biden's pledge to name the first Black woman to the nation's highest court, but the four days of hearings have the potential of raising uncomfortable questions about race and whether the courts and judges have become too politicized.
