Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.) asked Risa Goluboff, dean of the University of Virginia School of Law, whether she believes Jackson “has overstepped the role of the court and has engaged in a jurisprudence that gets outside her lane as a judge,” as some GOP critics have claimed. “It is absolutely my view that she does not get outside her lane,” Goluboff responded. “She, I think, comes down in cases on both sides, depending on what she sees in the facts and how she applies precedents. I think she has been assiduous and conscientious.”
