Dems plow toward Supreme Court vote after testy hearing

Democrats are barreling forward with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation after she emerged from two days of high-profile questioning largely unscathed.

How far above 50 votes Jackson will ultimately get is unclear. Republicans are skeptical she’ll get more than one or two of their members, as GOP senators harden their lines of attack against her nomination.

But top Democrats say that nothing from the Judiciary Committee hearing — which included tense moments both in exchanges with Jackson and testy back-and-forths between senators — could derail the nominee and prevent her from being confirmed by April 8, when the Senate is scheduled to leave for a two-week break.
