that's when the democrats filibustered the first black female to the dc circuit and that was janice rogers brown. who would have been maybe the first female black supreme court nominee. if democrats hadn't so vehemently opposed her. as i said i'll have more to say on that subject once i finished reviewing her record. ideal. >> were going to reconvene at 10 am to vote on judge jackson's nomination and those othernominees listed . in the meantime, we will continue to pursue other nominations before this committee. >> i don't want to keep people here unnecessarily. >> with that the meeting stands adjourned. >> the notion was when business was done you would recognize me for a statement. >> the senate judiciary committee reconvenes. >> thank you. i just wanted to offer up personal reflection based on the testimony of miss mccall and of the hearing who seemed like an extremely nice person and spoke about the engagements of antiabortion protesters outside new england clinics as an expression of compassion and of love. and i have no doubt that miss mccall and he gave that way, but the law in ques

and that was janice rogers brown, who would have been maybe the first female blaek supreme court -- black supreme court nominee if democrats hadn't so vehemently opposed her. as i said, i'll have more to say on that subject once i finish reviewing her record. i yield. senator durbin: we're going to reconvene next monday at 10:00 a.m. to vote on judge jackson's nominee. the other nominees listed on the agenda. in the meantime, we'll continue to pursue other nominations before this committee. does anyone seek recognition? >> only when the business of the committee is adjourned. i don't want to keep people here unnecessarily. senator durbin: well, with that, the meeting stands adjourned. >> the notion was when the business was done you'd recognize me for a statement. senator durbin: then the senate judiciary committee reconvenes.

do you know janice rogers brown? >> yes, i do know her. >> how do you know her? >> she was a judge on the court that i now serve. we didn't overlap and i'm struggling to remember whether i ever met her, but she was a judge on the circuit court. >> right, and you were a district court judge, is that right? >> i was, but i don't know -- >> i think you were. are they in the same building? >> they are. >> you don't really know her. >> i know of her, yes. >> what do you know of her? what's her reputation? >> i know that she's a very well respected judge on my circuit. >> okay. and in terms of family issues, the daughter and granddaughter of sharecroppers. she was raised in alabama under jim crow. despite this adversity, she threw herself into law school as a single working mother. that's pretty impressive, isn't it? >> yes, senator. >> your background is very impressive. you seem to have a great family. if family mattered, we would not have done to her what was done to her here in the united states senate. do you realize that she was filibustered for two years when sh

janice rogers brown on the supreme court. i can assure you that would be a very, very difficult fight and she would probably be filibustered. that's what he said about an african american conservative nominee, elected by president bush who served five years on the california supreme court. we're not going to live like that in america any longer. to my democratic colleagues, if you're a person of color, a woman, supported by liberals, is pretty easy sailing. but if you're miguel astradda, amy coney barrett, on and on and on. your life gets turned upside- down. you had nothing to do with that. i just make this observation that when you talk about coming up and how moving the exchange was, i agree. i just want to remind you, there was somebody else, of color, a woman of color, that was picked for the d.c. circuit, one of the highest court negligence the land, that did not meet the same fate. and those days should be over. do you believe illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote, judge jackson? >> thank you, senator. under our

asking about her, janice rogers brown being on the supreme court. i can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered. that's what he said about an african-american conservative nominee by president bush who had served five years on the california supreme court. we're not going to live in an american like that any longer. to my democratic colleagues, if you are a person of color, a woman, supported by liberals it's pretty easy sailing. if you are estrada, janice rogers brown, amy coney barrett, on and on and on your life gets turned upside down. you had nothing to do with that. i just make this observation that when you come up to me and talk about how moving the exchange was, i agree. i just want to remind you there was somebody else of color, a woman of color, that was picked for the d.c. circuit, one of the highest courts in the land, that did not meet the same fate. and those days should be over. do you believe illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote, judge jackson? >> thank you, senator.

so what happened with janice rogers brown? rather than this wonderful exchange, which was wonderful. representative green, where were you and others when there was a wholesale assault on her nomination? nowhere to be found. >> well, now is your time to respond. should you care to, sir, and also your overall reaction to your republican colleagues and the way they questioned judge jackson? >> well, thank you for the opportunity. i'd like to compliment jennifer jennifer -- senator graham who said i'm a fine man. i think he's a fine man and i think he's made point i'd like to focus on. where was i when judge janice rogers brown was being considered? well, i wasn't there to make decisions about her. as a matter of fact, she was never nomen bated to the supreme court. and he seems to make the point that she was a suitable candidate for the supreme court. but what he escapes is, and avoids is, that she was not the only black woman that could have been nominated by republicans. donald trump, president, while in office nominated three

do you know janice rogers brown ? yes, i do know her . did you know that joe biden actively filibustered janice rogers brown ? i did not know that there are two standards going on here. if you're an african-american conservative woman, you're fairo game to have your life turned h upside down to beav filibustered no matter how qualified you are and if you express your faith as a conservative, all ofrv a sudden you're a f and nut look at the friggin afghan government. it's made up of former detainees at gitmo. this whole thing by the left about this war ain't working. me also note that larry t thompson who served as deputy attorney general so judge jackson, all of us will agree that no one should be discriminated against because of race. when you just testified a minute agogo that you didn't know if critical race theory r was taught in k through 12, i will confessac i find that statement a little hard to reconcile i with the public record. >> i do not believe that any child should be made to feel as though they are racist or ho though they

rogers brown . and as we now know democrats filibustered judge brown and she was ultimately never even given the opportunity to be nominated to serve on the supreme court. that wasn't because of opposition, it was because of our democratic colleagues led bysenator joe biden derailed her nomination . janice rogers brown had the opportunity to make history by being the first african-american woman nominated for and confirmed as a member of the supreme court but it's very clear that then senator joe biden led the effort to derail that nomination and denied her that historic opportunity. i understand and appreciate the historic nature of judge jackson's nomination but i offer hope our colleagues and members of the media do not lose sight of the mistreatment many nominees before and should have been nominees that came before judge jackson. what the american people have seen over the last two days is a far cry from the way we've seen people like justice or such or justice cavanagh treated by our friends a

do you know janice rogers brown? >> yes, i do know her. >> how do you know her? >> she was a judge on the court they now serve. we didn't overlap, and i'm struggling to remember whether i ever met her, but she was a judge on the circuit court. >> right. you were a district court judge, is that right? >> i was, but i don't know whether she had -- >> thank you. >> are they in the same building? >> they are in the same building. >> so you really don't know her. >> know of her. yes. >> what do you know of her? what's your reputation? >> i know that she's a very well-respected judge on my circuit. >> okay. >> in terms of family, she was the daughter and granddaughter of share croppers. she was raised in alabama under jim crow. despite this adversity, she put herself through law school as a single working mother. that's pretty impressive, isn't it? >> yes, sir. >> your background is very impressive. you seem to have a great family. if family mattered we would not have done to her what was done to her here in the united states senate. do you realize that she was filibus

graham: did you know that joe biden filibustered janice rogers brown? hon. judge jackson: i did not know that? sen. graham: did you know that he told faith the nation that if bush nominates her for the supreme court, i can assure you that would be a very, very, difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered? is that is to you? hon. judge jackson: yes. sen. graham: now that you know that, how do you feel about it? hon. judge jackson: senator, i can't speak to something i just learned two seconds ago. sen. graham: fair enough. you are in the black law school society come right? hon. judge jackson: the black law students association. sen. graham: you are a member at harvard? hon. judge jackson: yes. sen. graham: the mr. jeffries thing, do you remember that whole dustup? hon. judge jackson: only in preparation for this, and i think i was in college at the time. it was my senior year in college. sen. graham: so you were in the group when he was invited to speak? hon. judge jackson: i don't know which group invited him to speak. i was of black student at h

rogers brown >> i did not know that >> did you know that he told face the nation, if bush nominates her for the suprem court, i can assure you that would be a very, very, ver difficult fight, and she probably would be filibustered is that news to you too? >> yes >> did you notice that peopl from the left were pretty much cheering you on? >> a lot of people wer cheering me on, senator. >> that's true, that's true. did you know a lot of people from the left were trying to destroy michelle childs? did you notice that? >> senator, a lot of peopl were supporting various people for this nomination. >> so you're saying you didn't know there was concerted effor to disqualify judge chiles fro south carolina because she was a union busting, unreliabl republican in disguise you didn't know that all those people were declaring war on judge chiles >> i did not >> senators lindsey graham o south carolina, or senator lindsey graham from sout carolina used his time today t ask judge jackson about the th treatment of other black jurists who were not sitting before them. one republican senator determ

so i think that certainly is aying out here and certainly the janice rogers brown nomination and the grievance, that she would have been, so they say, a nominee to the supreme court and the first african-american woman nominated, but she was denied that. but also this is not just one nominee, this is about the judicial philosophy that would play out and how it would impact all of the country. there are a lot of different threads. judy: you are mentioning a conservative nominee in the 1990's, it was filibustered but she was eventually confirmed. very quickly, your sense is that she is confirmed. you do not see anything standing in the way? saikrishna: she will be confirmed and the president will appoint her. the only question is how many republican votes she will get. i think she should get more than she is likely to get. judy: thank you both. we appreciate it. you can watch the final day of the jackson hearings tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. eastern. that is on our website and our youtube page. we have regularly reported on the continuing rise in opioid overdose deaths during this pandemic. w

rogers brown. a very qualified african-american woman nominated to the d.c. circuit. >> brian: so what will the senators be asking the judge in the next coming days? the questioning is going to be cut and dry. nothing too personal. senator cruz made it clear the hearing process will be clear unlike what we saw from kavanaugh. >> this will not be a political circus. this will not be the kind of character smear that sadly our democratic colleagues have gotten very good at. judge jackson, i can assure you, that your hearing will feature none of that disgraceful behavior. no one is going to inquire into your teenage dating habits. no one is going to ask you with mock severity do you like beer? >> brian: hopefully. tim scott is the republican senator from south carolina. senator, your thoughts about day one? i know you were traveling a little bit but they want to make it clear, the republicans, they are not going to get down and dirty like what happened with kavanaugh. were they right to say it? >> well

asking about her, janice rogers brown, being on the supreme court. i can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered. that's what he said about an african-american conservative nominee by president bush who had served five years on the california supreme court. we're not going to live in an america like that any longer. to my democratic colleagues. if you're a person of color, a woman, supported by liberals, it's pretty easy sailing. but if you're miguel estrada, janice rogers brown, amy cohen barrett, on and on and on, your life get turned upside down. you had nothing to do with that. i just make this observation that when you come up to me and talk about how moving the exchange was, i agree. i just want to remind you there was somebody else of color, a woman of color, that was picked for the d.c. circuit, one of the highest courts in the land, that did not meet the same fate. and those days should be over. do you believe illiam immigrants should be allowed -- illegal immigrants should be allowe

. >> i remember janice rogers brown, african american woman, filibustered by the same people -- >> there is only one side of the aisle that was justice clarence thomas, was so reprehensible, that as the president who nominated him, george walker bush, what is happening to clarence thomas is just plain horrible. >> you just heard some republican lawmakers still upset by past supreme court proceedings, choosing to air their grievances during the confirmation hearing for judge ketanji brown jackson. today, the judge will face potentially up to 12 hours of questions from lawmakers. >>> joining us now, former senior adviser to president biden's 2020 campaign, founder and head of the social impact agency, 1063, good morning, thank you for being here. let's get your, to start with us, your take-aways from the first day of her confirmation. and what you expect we might get today, as lawmakers, particularly those republicans, start asking her questions. >> first, i want to say yesterday was historic and it was a wonderful day from the supporters outside of the capitol steps to all of the democrat

if this process were conducted in good faith, miguel estrada and janice rogers brown might well be on the supreme court today, but their opponents lied and bullet rather and accepted principles minority judges. we have gotten so used to this kind of bullying that two years ago, the current senate majority leader stood on the steps of the united states capitol and screamed threats against two justices of the supreme court that they would quote, reap the whirlwind if they ruled in a way that did not align with chuck schumer's political preferences. that is weird. we should all be able to pause and say that is weird. that kind of behavior should not happen. this process is broken but it is a product of a broader brokenness and the erosion of our constitutional structure. a lot of people are willing to take a strike -- a sledgehammer to the structure, and it is no coincidence that is more of us embrace and ends justify the means philosophy of our job, which are supposed to be jobs of public trust, our politics becomes uglier, more brutal, and more pathological. we have an opportunity toda

we have also talked about janice rogers brown and the treatment that she endured here. we are going to be pleased to focus on the issue is that the american people want to focus on, because they want to know about you and help you are going to approach your job and the decisions that that you have made in the past. i have a few areas i am going to want to delve further with you. we touched on some of these as we talked. when i talk to tennesseans, they bring up the issue of parental rights and wanting to be able to be or their children as they see fit. moms and dads are very concerned about this progressive agenda pushed into some public schools. educators are allowing biological males to steal opportunity from female athletes in the name of progressivism. just last week, and entire generations of young girls watched women those charged with protecting them allowed a biological male to be a biological woman in some -- in collegiate sports. rather than defending our girls, those in power are teaching them that their voices do not matter. they are being treated like secon

rogers brown that was filibustered by the same people. remember miguel estrada? one of the most finest people i have ever met. completely wiped out. could not make it to the gang of the support team. he did not make the cut. if you are hispanic or african-american conservative, it is about your philosophy. now it is going to be about the historic nature of the pick. the bottom line is when it is about philosophy when it is somebody of color on our side, we are all racist if we ask hard questions. that is not going to fly with us. we are used to it by now, at least i am. it is not going to matter to us. we are going to ask you what you think and senator hawley, you need to ask about her record as a district court judge. i hope you do. we will see what she says. play the fair game. president biden had a choice here and he has every right to make it. elections have consequences. we had many qualified african-american women to choose from. he chose you. michelle chow from south carolina supported by jim clyburn. that was in the mix. i think i

do you know janice rogers brown? judge jackson: yes, i do know her. senator graham: how do you know her? judge jackson: she was a judge on the court that i now serve. we didn't overlap and i'm struggling to remember whether i ever met her. but she was a judge on the circuit court. senator graham: and you were a district court judge, is that right? judge jackson: i was. i don't know whether she had retired. senator graham: are they in the same building? judge jackson: yes. senator graham: you don't renault her. judge jackson: i know of her, yes. senator graham: what's her reputation? judge jackson: i know she's a very well-respected judge on my circuit. senator graham: ok. and in terms of family, she was the daughter, grand-daughter of sharecroppers. she was raised in alabama under jim crow. despite this adversity, she put herself through law school as a single working mother. that's pretty impressive, isn't it? judge jackson: yes, senator. senator graham: your background is very impressive. seem to have a great family. if family mattered, we would not

rogers brown who could have been the first black woman on the supreme court but for some of the threats that president biden made she would be filibustered if she were nominated to that seat. these are some of the same people that helped attack justice thomas when he was put up. so we know that there is, you can disagree with people without having to, without it being a racial issue. i think the real meat of the question is going to be what is her judicial philosphy and how can she defend her judicial record up to this point. neil: all fair questions. i'm glad you reminded me of some of those other historical examples, carrie, very good points all. very good seeing you. >> great to be here. neil: all right. in the meantime here you can see we're down almost 300 points a lot of it has to do with jerome powell remarks that he could be more aggressive fighting inflation, with the possibility of hiking rates up to a half a point of the latest hike was a quarter of a point. he seemed to be sending a signal i can do better than that and will if conditions warrant. new projects means new proje

let me mention a black female jurist who they filibustered janice roger brown if anyone in this country honestly believes if this woman or justice is going to be independent. they are being naive. you have to be a liberal black female to get nominated by joe biden and the progressive left because they will not nominate or support conservative minorities. everyone knows that. >> ainsley: conservatives were mainly concerned, we heard a lot about, she has been positive or she has supported the 1619 project. they say she has been soft on crime when you look at her record, especially child sexual abuse which is concerning to everybody. she delivered a 13-minute speech in her opening remarks and she said she is going to be neutral. listen to this. >> i have been a judge for nearly a decade now. and i take that responsibility and my duty to be independent they seriously. i decide cases from a neutral posture. >> bottom line is, leo, they are exchanging a democrat for another democrat. i think there is some concern from especially conservatives does she actually mean that? will she be neutral.

janice rogers brown was nominated to be on the d.c. circuit court of appeals, one of the premier appellate courts, like judge jackson was nominated to. she is from bam. she was the daughter and granddaughter of sharecroppers, growing up in many about a bam during the -- growing up in alabama during the jim crow era. she wound up serving on the california supreme court. she is a single mother raising children. in june 2005, she was confirmed to the d.c. court in a 56-43 vote. that was after the gang of 14 broke a filibuster by my democratic colleagues against her and others. she was nominated in 2003, and her nomination was stalled for two years. here's what senator schumer said. judge brown was the least worthy pick that president hazard made for the appellate court. that's based on her record. 2005, if the president sends up a nominee who like janice rogers brown believes that the new deal was the triumph of the socialist revolution, there will be a fight. here's what then-senator biden said. not only did he filibuster her. he said, i
