Jon Ossoff

Our military personnel, stateside and abroad, sacrifice continually in service to this Nation, as do their families.

You know you are under investigation. You know you are in hot water.

Am I correct that this scheme to defraud the United States, which included the falsification and destruction of maintenance records, also included prematurely closing work orders in order to present to the military superior performance to…

Your wife suffers from a respiratory condition, correct?

You have repeatedly reported mold and gotten no response. Your doctor has told you that you need to leave the home for the sake of your daughter's health.

Let me ask you, during this period in the middle of 2020, when you were reporting to Balfour the urgency of your requests that mold you were observing in your home be remediated, were you doing that mostly in person or by the phone?

I have never received an apology from Balfour Beatty or any of their representatives at any point in time.

75 percent of the country, Democrats, Independents, Republicans, agree that members of Congress should not be permitted to trade stocks while in office.

How will you ensure that you remain substantively impartial and avoid taking any action that would damage the public's confidence in your impartiality?

Thank you for joining us. First question for you, and I am sure some of this has been covered, but I want to dig in a little bit deeper as to understand your approach to disclosures for digital electioneering communications and political…

Your obligation will be to apply relevant law and rules impartially without regard for personal political preferences or partisan affiliation, correct?

That is substantial praise.

There are millions and millions of people inspired by you and your example.

People all over the world are watching this and seeing what is possible in America.

I take very seriously my constitutional obligations and responsibilities with respect to advice and consent on behalf of my constituents in Georgia.

You've conducted these hearings with extraordinary poise, strength, grace under pressure.

You've handled it all extraordinarily well.

I also want to just take a moment and recognize the members of the press who are here, the reporters and photographers who ensure that these proceedings are truly accessible to the public.

Democracy is the exception and not the norm in history or around the world, and this public exercise is a vital one

I think the American public is now tuning into these proceedings expecting a substantive discussion of matters of grave importance to the country.

I would just take the opportunity to note at this time, Judge Jackson, that it so happens that the Southern District of Georgia is one of just three Federal districts without a Federal defender's office.

This constitutional process of advice and consent is vital to the integrity and legitimacy of the Court.

Democracy remains the exception, not the norm, in history and around the world, and we cannot take the survival of our republic for granted.

The Constitution was a ground-breaking document when written, and still, by today's standards, as amended, considering the tyranny that prevails in much of the world.

I engage in these proceedings with deep respect for the responsibility that the Senate has to advise and consent on the lifetime appointment of a Supreme Court Justice.
