SCOTUS trivia

We track nomination consideration by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. In order for a nominee to receive a confirmation vote in the Senate, the nominee must first be reported out of the Judiciary Committee by a majority vote of Committee members. The Committee may and often does hold hearings on a nomination, during which senators ask questions of the nominee. Although many of those hearings are not high-profile, hearings on a Supreme Court nominee are closely watched. Your question: Who was the first Supreme Court nominee whose hearing before the Judiciary Committee was televised?

a) Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
b) Justice David Souter
c) Justice Anthony Kennedy
d) Justice Sandra Day O’Connor

The correct answer: Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. The first televised Supreme Court nomination hearing took place in 1981 for Sandra Day O’Connor.
