Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he hasn't decided how he will vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court and that he's doing a "deeper dive" than the last time he assessed her.
Romney voted against Jackson's appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 2021 when she was nominated by President Joe Biden.
However, the senator told CNN's Kasie Hunt in a clip aired on Monday that he hadn't decided how he'd cast his vote this time.
If she's confirmed by the Senate, Jackson will become the first Black woman ever to sit on the nation's highest court, and Democrats likely have the necessary votes without GOP support.

Utah can do much better than Romney.
However, he did vote with Trump’s position 75% of the time.
I sometimes like to look at how libtards rate senators and he gets an “F” score and actually is better than a few other Republicans.

The thing is that Utah is a State where a 100% Conservative can and should get elected.
Romney has already drawn a good challenger if he runs again. (I don’t think he will).
Typical Mormon.
Wait--She's only been on the Appeals court for a year? Doesn't one need more experience than that to be on the Supreme Court? Apparently not.
I figure that Mitt Romney and the Abortion Twins (Collins and Murkowski) will vote for her.
Would it help DeSantis if I said “GAY GAY GAY!” over and over again like a 2-year-old?
That makes a lot of sense, I don’t believe Pierre will be more than a one and done guy. He’s not able to sweettalk the dumbass voters like Orin. There’s a lot of autosomal recessive genetic disorders in Utah from consanguineous marriages.
Milt supports a child abuser? Obviously, yes!
Doesn’t that make HIM a child abuser? Obviously YES!
Lord, forgive me for casting a vote for this backstabbing poseur in 2012.
Being a lwayer and having a vagina means you know all.
Being black and having a vagina means you know more then all!
Mitt, Kemp, McConnell and Cheney are the top cancers in the Republican Party.
You must admit it took a really lame candidate to lose to Caliph Baraq with $4 gas, high unemployment, Obamacare, and Benghazi.
So then we’ll know that Mitt Romney is pro child pornography and predators.
He’ll claim it was because of the great interview he had with her...
“Wait—She’s only been on the Appeals court for a year? Doesn’t one need more experience than that to be on the Supreme Court? Apparently not.”
Not really. Clarence Thomas was on the DC circuit for about a year. Elena Kagan was Solicitor General. Earl Warren was a governor. Etc.
I couldn’t agree more. There was a good list of conservatives to pick from that year, but primary voters instead chose “gracious” defeat.
So in one year she went from being not acceptable for a spot on the U.S. Court of Appeals but ok to be on USSC????!!!
Voting against her for the D.C. Circuit gives him cover. Will he use it?
In reality the vote that is critical is the Senate Judiciary Committee vote. There are 22 members equally split 11-11.
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS
Lindsey Graham (SC)John Cornyn (TX)Mike Lee (UT)Ted Cruz (TX)Ben Sasse (NE)Josh Hawley (MO)Tom Cotton (AR)John Kennedy (LA), Tillis (NC), Blackburn (TN).
Sasse has already said he will oppose. If the vote is 11-11 there has to be a floor vote to get it to the Senate floor but under the rules it is then subject to a filibuster. That means 10 Republicans have to vote for her or Dems have to vote to eliminate the filibuster.
Funny
He’s classless.
