The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday began confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Joe Biden’s pick to replace outgoing Justice Stephen Breyer.

As the week progresses, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle will delve deeper into Jackson’s track record and judicial ideology, but much of Monday’s session was consumed by introductory remarks and broad ideological statements, allowing members of both parties to speak before questioning begins.
