Republican attorney general candidate: She erred on the side of reducing sentences instead of defending victims.
The average length of service for a United States Supreme Court justice is 16 years, but when you look at the modern court, it’s even longer. Justice Clarence Thomas and outgoing Justice Stephen Breyer have served for 30 years and 27 years respectively. Over several decades justices can leave their mark on the court and on legal precedent, and even fundamentally transform our country. It’s critical we fully vet the nominees before us and truly examine the ideologies that guide their thinking. Look no further than the current hearing before us. President Joe Biden’s nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, would make history as the first Black woman to serve on our highest court. And while I applaud her historical significance, I can’t overlook the partisan, far-left special interests pushing her confirmation. Another View: Republicans tripped over themselves to take shots at Ketanji Brown Jackson.
