Wiener, Cruz and Jackson were all at Harvard Law School at the same time.
A visual aid is displayed as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, questions Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson during her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, March 22, 2022, on Capitol Hill in Washington.What do Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson and California state Sen. Scott Wiener all have in common? Beyond being highly visible public officials, they were also all at Harvard Law School together in the 1990s.
During the second day of Jackson's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, Wiener took to Twitter to bemoan Cruz's method of questioning, replying to a tweet stating that Cruz frequently interrupted Jackson."Everyone thought she was a nice & brilliant person. Ted Cruz was a year ahead of us in law school. Everyone thought he was a major jackass, as he is demonstrating yet again today.
Cruz's main lines of questioning centered around critical race theory and Jackson's handling of child pornography cases. After Jackson said that she does not use critical race theory — a legal theory relating to race and policy that first originated in the 1970s but has since become a catch-all term for topics relating to race and social justice more broadly — as a judge, Cruz then pivoted to the curriculum at the Georgetown Day School, a private K-12 Washington, D.C., school where Jackson serves on the board of trustees.
While holding a copy of Ibram X. Kendi's"Antiracist Baby" , Cruz asked Jackson if she believes that"babies are racist." Cruz quoted lines from"Antiracist Baby" stating, "babies are taught to be racist or antiracist — there is no neutrality" and that babies should"confess when being racist."
