McConnell will vote against Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson
Last Thursday, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, from the floor of the Senate, revealed that he will vote against Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
Listen.
McCONNELL: “The Judiciary Committee has completed its hearing for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. I enjoyed meeting the nominee. I went into the Senate’s process with an open mind. But, after studying the nominee’s record and watching her performance this week, I cannot and will not support Judge Jackson for a lifetime appointment to the highest Court.”
Among the reasons why McConnell opposes Jackson is her openness to “packing the court,” which involves adding four additional seats to the Supreme Court, as advocated by the Leftist fringe group Demand Justice. That would allow Biden to nominate four more liberals to ensure the God-haters enjoy a majority once again.
“Judge Jackson refuses to reject the fringe position that Democrats should try to pack the Supreme Court. Justice Ginsburg and Justice Breyer had no problem denouncing this unpopular view and defending their institution. I assumed this would be an easy softball for Judge Jackson. But it wasn’t. The nominee suggested there are two legitimate sides to the issue. She testified she has a view on the matter, but would not share it.
“But Judge Jackson seemingly tipped her hand. She said she would be, ‘thrilled to be one of however many.’ However many. The most radical pro-court-packing fringe groups badly wanted this nominee for this vacancy. Judge Jackson was the court-packers’ pick. And she testified like it.”
