A simple question often deserves a simple answer. That was the case last Wednesday when Sen. Lindsey Graham asked Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, “Do you believe illegal immigrants should be allowed to vote?”

“Under our laws,” she replied, “you have to be a citizen of the United States in order to vote.” That was one of the more coherent, not to mention constitutionally sound, statements that Jackson offered under oath in four days of confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
