Senators were warned on Monday that history would be their judge as they launched marathon confirmation hearings to consider the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to be the first Black woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court.

“I ask the members of this committee as we begin this landmark confirmation process, to consider how history will judge each senator, as we face our constitutional responsibility to advise and consent,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Dick Durbin, said in his opening address.

No red flags had been raised about Jackson’s record that would damage her prospects, and Republicans have pledged to avoid the kind of “character assassination” they argue Democrats staged before the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. They would also raise rulings they said were too lenient in a bid to frame Biden via his nominee as soft on crime ahead of November’s midterm elections.
