The fight over President Obama’s eventual Supreme Court nominee could get personal for Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.
One of names being floated as a possible pick is someone who Ryan calls family: D.C. District Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Connected by marriage, Jackson’s husband, Patrick Jackson, is the twin brother of Ryan’s brother-in-law William Jackson.
The good news for Ryan, in the event that Jackson were Obama’s pick, is that the fight over the president’s eventual nominee is contained to the Senate. The House of Representatives has no role in confirming the president’s judicial nominations.
Nonetheless, Ryan would inescapably be called upon to weigh in on the debate and would be in the awkward position of choosing between politics -- and standing with his party in a stand of unequivocal opposition to considering the president’s pick -- and his family ties.

Janna's younger sister, Dana, is married to William Jackson, whose brother Patrick is married to Ketanji Brown Jackson
Little comes from a long time influential Democrat family. Her grandfather founded the American Independent Party to back the segregationist George Wallace. Her cousin, David Boren, was Democrat governor of Oklahoma.
She has clerked for Justice Breyer. She was an aide to Oklahoma Congressman Bill Brewster, Democrat.
There is a wikileaks email mentioning this. It looks a little like pay to play to some of us reading it. I would ask what Ryan is giving/doing in return, but all we have to do is look at that big eared chimp’s record, and determine he’s been doing 0bama’s bidding for years.
lmao.. yeah good luck with that Ryan after being a traitor...
?????....sounds like a box of hamsters
More political incest
Too much power concentrated in too few families.....A Nation of 330 million doesn’t need the Clintons, Bushes, Ryans, Romneys, nor the marriages between politics and press
Thank God at least the Kennedys and Rockefellers have been diluted
Obama did this in an attempt to get under Ryan’s skin. He hates Ryan.
Katanji is black......is Wm. Jackson? Just curious.
White
Doesn’t matter.
This elitist ruling class is going to keep messing around, the possibility of a French style revolution grows nearly daily.
yea ok, 4 years ago everyone around here loved Ryan, now not so much. I wonder why? 2 weeks from now only 1 man will be standing. I wonder who that will be??

Skip anyone connected with Wisconsin—Rinse, Ryan, and Walker should be enough to say they have had a brain drain and we can find better folks elsewhere.
It’ll be even worse if hillary wins.
Look for the justices to be hard Left - and VERY bearish on the Second Amendment.
I doubt that. Ryan has never failed to give Obama all he wants and more. Why would he hate him?
“yea ok, 4 years ago everyone around here loved Ryan, now not so much. I wonder why? 2 weeks from now only 1 man will be standing. I wonder who that will be?”
Sounds like you are salivating at the thought of Trump losing. If Trump loses, Ryan will become one of the most reviled men in Congress and will hopefully lose his House Speakership.
Another reason for one of America’s greatest surrender monkey to surrender once again. I really hope a Democrat replaces this POS.
I thought that nomination boat already sank. But hey, lets create another controversy........
> I thought that nomination boat already sank.
Maybe. I haven’t heard one way or the other.
It might explain why he’s such a belly-crawler.
