The Senate Judiciary Committee will begin its hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court this week.
On one end, the confirmation should be completely low stakes. Ms Jackson seeks to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, for whom she previously clerked, which means that it would not change the ideological makeup of the court. Democrats are almost guaranteed to confirm her thanks to the fact there is no filibuster. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, often the Democrats who derail the rest of the caucus's agenda, seem mostly on board.
