Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on Wednesday is facing a second day of questioning from Senate Judiciary Committee members considering her confirmation to the nation’s highest court.

In the silence between Sen. Josh Hawley’s and Sen. Mazie Hirono’s time for questioning, Cruz interjected and asked that a letter signed by 10 GOP senators be added to the record. The letter, addressed to Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, demands Democrats release probation reports from child pornography cases that Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson handled.

“Just now, Judge Jackson told Senator Hawley you cannot understand the cases without reading the probation reports,” Cruz said. “Ten senators on this committee are asking the chairman to provide those reports so we can do what Judge Jackson just said, which is to assess those reports.Leahy made the point that Hawley could’ve used his time to introduce the letter to the record, but did not.

Cruz was midway through a final question when Durbin struck his gavel and announced Cruz’s time had expired. “You’ve been given extra time,” Durbin said. “You usually ask for it.”Cruz asked Jackson about her rulings in child pornography cases, and brought back his case-by-case chart that he used Tuesday. Cruz said he wanted to “go through each of them” and hear Jackson’s reasoning for each sentencing.
