'Do you agree ... that babies are racist?' Five noteworthy exchanges from second day of Jackson's confirmation hearings. - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : In a move that differentiated him from some of his Republican colleagues, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey took the opportunity during his allotted time to offer an impassioned defense of Jackson and her record, with his remarks serving as a Democratic counter to the GOP's characterization of her stances on crime and law enforcement.
33% : During the end of the confirmation hearing, Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee used her time to hit on nearly every hot-button issue that conservatives have taken up in recent years -- from abortion to critical race theory to gender identity."Can you provide a definition for the word woman?"
32% : In response to the statements made about how she has ruled on cases including those that that involved drugs and child pornography Booker said he was "a little insulted" about the accusations that she was somehow different than other federal judges or that she does not value public safety, particularly given the fact she is a mother of two, has family members who work in law enforcement, and has the support of victim advocacy groups.
