On 3/23/2022, Sen. Lindsey Graham sparked a lengthy and heated exchange with Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. “How would you feel that if I had a letter from somebody accusing you of something … for weeks and I give it to Senator Durbin just before this hearing is over and not allow you to comment on the accusation,” Graham said. “Did you watch the Kavanaugh hearings?” Graham asked Jackson. When Jackson started to say that she didn’t have a comment on what happened in the Senate, Graham interrupted. “What did you think about the Kavanaugh hearing?” Graham asked “He was ambushed, How would you feel about that?” Graham accused Democrats of having a double standard.

“To my Democratic colleagues, if you’re a person of color, a woman, supported by liberals, it’s pretty easy sailing,” he said. “But if you’re Miguel Estrada, Janice Rogers Brown, Amy Coney Barrett, on and on and on, your life gets turned upside down.”

Graham also tangled with Jackson over her handling of an immigration case accusing her of “judicial activism.” At one point Graham stood up from his seat to read from a poster board print out he had next to him of the immigration law. “You reached a conclusion because you disagreed with the Trump administration,” he said to Jackson.

When Durbin tried to note that Graham had gone over his allotted 20 minutes, the GOP senator appeared frustrated, saying that “she filibustered every question I had.”
