Claville Report: SCOTUS Politics

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson recently completed her four-day confirmation hearing for appointment as the next Supreme Court justice. Notable Republican senators described her as "soft" on crime and grilled her about her sentencing record as a trial judge, leaving many to wonder if their questions were about Judge Jackson's qualifications, or their concerns about the upcoming November elections. Join us for an insider view of the hearings from Dr. Eric Claville, Director of the Center for African American Public Policy at Norfolk State University. We'll talk about the vetting process and what's next for the nominee. We'll also discuss when it is appropriate for a sitting member of SCOTUS to recuse him or herself from a case to avoid conflict of interest.
