WASHINGTON — When Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson sits before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday to kick off her Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Democrats and civil rights advocates want her to know — and see — they’re behind her.
They’ll start by filling the room with a sea of supporters. But they’ll also dispatch allies to speak out about Jackson’s qualifications and counter her Republican critics across the airwaves and social media.
“We definitely need to pack the room,” Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., said. But she added: “We need to be outside. We need to be sharing information on social media. We need to be speaking out against the lies and the misinformation that’ll come from those right-wing folks that don’t want to see her confirmed.”
