Collins to Back Jackson for Supreme Court, Giving Her a G.O.P. Vote
New York Times ^ | 3/30/22 | Carl Hulce

Senator Susan Collins of Maine plans to vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, ensuring that President Biden’s nominee and the first Black woman to be put forward for the post will receive at least one Republican backer.

After a second personal meeting with the judge on Tuesday afternoon, Ms. Collins said Judge Jackson had alleviated some concerns that surfaced after last week’s contentious Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, when Republicans attacked the nominee for her record and grilled her on a host of divisive issues.

If this nominee failed, Brendan would have pulled out someone just as, if not even more, bad.

Considering he voted against her for the D. C. Circuit it’ll be...amusing to see what he uses to justify a ‘yes’ vote now.

I figure a handful of the RINO’s will end up voting yes, now that Manchin’s support has “sealed the deal” there is really no reason to vote no (in their mind). So they will try to score some RINO points with the MSM by looking “tolerant and progressive”.

My prediction all along has been 55 to 42 to confirm. I'll stick with that.

But a Democrat would be so much worse in that seat.

That’s sarcasm, of course.

Yeah, keep voting for the lesser-of-two-evils and you’ll keep getting Democrats with Rs by their name.

The Uniparty is playing the GOP voters like a fiddle.

I’m guessing she’s confirmed at 60-40. Of course I thought many more Republicans would vote against the utterly pointless lynching legislation too, maybe 70-30....we’ll see.

It was always a done deal.

It was a lib for lib change out. The GOP was never going to fight this.

Globalist and Uniparty strike again...

I am sorry, I don’t care who you are, you give someone involved in Child Porn production or distribution to 3 months you have ZERO business on the courts... PERIOD.

Her attempting to spin this as someone who just clicked the wrong link is nonsense. He was caught with dozens of pictures ..not oh crap and close the window and walk away.

Disgusting.

More concerned with her future re-election than with the safety and security of America. Maine gave this lowlife.
