USA Today (subscription required): Jonathan Adler, the Johan Verheij Memorial Professor of Law and director of the Coleman P. Burke Center for Environmental Law, weighed in on the hearings of Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the lack of substance in the questioning by senators. “We didn’t get a lot. We got some fairly general statements suggesting concern for text and for original meaning,” he said. “I do think it is fair to note that Republican administrations more than Democratic administrations have prioritized judicial philosophy and have tended to nominate people who have more clearly defined…judicial philosophies.”
