Senate Democrats, backed by three GOP senators, voted on Monday night to break a deadlock on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court nomination, paving the way for her to be confirmed by the end of the week.

Senators voted 53-47 to formally discharge Jackson’s nomination to the full Senate. It’s the first time the Senate has had to take the procedural step for a Supreme Court nominee since 1853.

GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitt Romney (Utah) voted with Democrats to make Jackson’s nomination available for a full Senate vote.

I’m guessing Breyer knows what a woman is.

“Collins..wouldn’t vote for Barrett, but will gladly vote for a pedo lover.”

Yeah, Collins is pretty useless. And the other two...well, we know wherein their loyalties lie, and it’s not to the United States and its Constitution.

From the three whitest states in the union. Not saying there’s a reverse racial component but it is odd.

Everyone knew this in advance in the GOP. They put on a show for the country. Thanks McConnell and company.

You haven’t figured out yet that the RNC is a farce? This is all planned out well in advance... There will be some hot button, divisive issue that the RNC and Democrats will roll out in election years that serves solely to stir up the people and fill their war chests. Once finished, back to business as usual with back room deals and strategizing for the next cycle... all the while leading us down the path of bigger government, more dependent voters, and tyranny that won’t be resisted.

"Senate Democrats, backed by three GOP senators"

Senate Democrats, backed by three DNC senators

Fixed for accuracy.

...who obviously have something over their heads...

Absolutely agree. She's as dumb as a bag of hammers but these clowns put her over the top. I think Pelosi's organized-crime husband has created a Black Book that gives her the power in DC. If she was promoted on merit, she'd be sweeping floors.

So Romney and Murkowski will then vote against Jackson. Collins is a definite yes.

“Mitch makes the committee appointments and he knew what he had in these three…”
This needs to be repeated again and again. Mitch proclaims he’s a no yet, he appoints these known Leftists RINO’s to the key positions. This is NO ACCIDENT.

Those three are some of the reasons that I am, no longer a supporter of the RNC, fed up with the RINO/uniparty activity in DC.
I’ll save my money to put gas in my gas hogging Navigator.

I haven’t and won’t give one red cent to the RNC!
Do nothing &!big talking a-holes who are only comfortable in the minority.
When in the majority, the biggest cuck painty waist, afraid of ANYTHING controversial, for fear of not being liked by their friends on the other side of the isle losers.
They’re embarrassing, and I’m done with them!!!!
