The senator called the Supreme Court ruling that legalized access to contraception constitutionally unsound and criticized the nominee for the high court. Jackson was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Joe Biden. The Senate Judiciary Committee began hearings on Monday. Same-sex marriage and contraception could be at risk because of the abortion ruling. Jackson is the first black female SCOTUS nominee. The court decisions like Kelo v. the city of New London and the NFIB case confused Tennesseans and left Congress wondering who gave the court permission to ignore our system of checks and balances. If she believes government power should supersede the right of a state to further legislate access to birth control, she would not comment on Tennessean questions about her position on contraceptive access. Judge Jackson has yet to answer important questions about her judicial philosophy. It’s time for her to let Tennesseans know this. It will determine how she approaches her job. pic.twitter.com/pTgBUWvpXk

The ruling on Eminent domain was one of the cases cited. In a social media post last week, she called forconstitutionalists who believe that the Constitution is the standard and its meaning doesn't change over time.
In 1965, seven Supreme Court justices voted that married couples have a right to privacy when using birth control. The law banning contraceptive use in Connecticut was invalidated by the decision.
The majority in Griswold found that the rights of privacy are implied in at least five amendments. Conservatives who prefer a strict reading of the Constitution have criticized the ruling as an overstep.
The Griswold case has been criticized recently by conservatives who want to roll back the 1973 abortion ruling. Three Michigan candidates criticized the Griswold decision last month.
The Detroit Free Press reported that the Republican candidates for Michigan attorney general all decried the Griswold ruling.
Michigan GOP AG candidates criticized the case that nixed the birth control law.
