The Senate Judiciary Committee has wrapped up the second day of confirmation hearings for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the federal judge whom President Biden has picked to fill Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer's seat when he retires this summer.

Rounds of questioning from lawmakers started at 9 a.m. ET and ended after 10 p.m. ET.
