Conservative judicial activist says there's a lot to criticize in Jackson record

With the Senate Judiciary Committee set to start hearings in a week for Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson , a prominent conservative judicial activist is signaling to Republicans how to "contrast" how advocates portray her versus the high court pick's "actual record."

Judicial Crisis Network President Carrie Severino told the Washington Examiner that President Joe Biden is "trying to replace a moderate liberal justice with a radical liberal justice," comparing Jackson to retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.

Severino referenced Jackson's previous Senate Judiciary Committee hearings ahead of her confirmation last year to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit — specifically Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's line of questioning on a "living Constitution," or the idea that the Constitution can evolve and has relevant meaning beyond the original text.
