Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief. Today is the first day of questioning in the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearings on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s SCOTUS nomination. While Judge Jackson’s day is likely to be quite long, the justices’ day is rather short with only one argument scheduled this morning. A group of 18 former federal and state judges filed an amicus brief in the Hague Convention case being argued. We take a look at what they had to say. We also have a quick look at Jackson’s first day before the committee.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
