President Joe Biden recently nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Sonja R. West, the Otis Brumby Distinguished Professor in First Amendment Law at the University of Georgia School of Law, and Tanya Washington, a professor of law at Georgia State University College of Law, talked with program host Rose Scott about Judge Jackson’s historic nomination.

They also discussed why some believe the questioning during her confirmation hearings was hostile and inappropriate.
