Questioning could prove critical in securing GOP votes
Questioning over the next two days could prove critical to the White House goal of securing at least some Republican support for Judge Jackson's confirmation.
Three Republicans -- Sens. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Lindsey Graham -- voted in favor of Jackson's confirmation to the D.C. Circuit last June, but after private meetings with Biden's nominee this month, all three were noncommittal about supporting her again.
Jackson has been vetted twice previously by the Judiciary Committee and twice confirmed by the full Senate as a judge. She was also Senate confirmed in 2010 as vice-chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission.

No Republican senator has publicly disputed Jackson's qualification to be a justice, though several have raised concerns about her rulings and presumed judicial philosophy, which she has insisted she does not have.
Even without bipartisan support, Democrats have the votes on their own for Jackson's confirmation, which party leaders have said they plan to complete before Easter.
