Joe Manchin says he will vote for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson: This all but guarantees her confirmation
CNN ^ | 03/25/2022 | Clare Foran

(CNN)West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin announced on Friday that he plans to vote for President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, a move that all but guarantees she will be confirmed.

In a statement outlining his decision, Manchin said, "I met with Judge Jackson and evaluated her qualifications to be a Supreme Court Justice. After meeting with her, considering her record, and closely monitoring her testimony and questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, I have determined I intend to vote for her nomination to serve on the Supreme Court."

Manchin's announcement is notable since he is a closely-watched moderate Democrat and key swing vote in the Senate. His decision to vote "yes" helps solidify the vote math for Senate Democrats to confirm the nominee.

In a sense, confirming her, as opposed to a radical/progressive with more intellectual clout may limit the leftward pull on the court.

So the Democrats are going to appoint a CRT loving ‘tard that doesn’t know what a woman is.
I hope this all being recorded for the archeologists and historians to use when they document the Fall of the United States.

It’s a wash… she’ll be no less or more a guaranteed liberal vote than Breyer.

Was is it her love of pediphiles or her support of CRT that won your heart Joe?

Maybe it was to give cover to Delicto and Murkowski.

I’m sure that many share my concern after she is confirmed that Judge Clarence Thomas’ health will be in jeopardy. I’m hoping he doesn’t get the same that Judge Scalia got.

Well duh. Mittens and Collins will help carry her racist arse across the finish line anyway.

Unless they decide to pack it.

I look forward to the opportunity to read with laughter her inane dissents of the losing sides of Court opinions. It will be a lesson in what NOT to do.

I guess Justice Thomas has been released from the hospital.

David Webb suggested earlier this morning that Justice Thomas should claim he now identifies as a woman and that would mean Jackson would not be the first black woman on the supreme court. THAT would really make the lefts heads explode.

From what I understand, Myth Romney and the Abortion Twins will likely vote for her, too.

Probably Linda Graham also.
