Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced Thursday that he will oppose President Biden's first U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, even after going into the confirmation process with an "open mind." "After studying the nominee’s record and watching her performance this week, I cannot and will not support Judge Jackson for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court," McConnell said from the Senate floor.

McConnell can be cagey...

[stormhill]

Yeah, right!
He can claim she's unqualified; maybe she can't define a woman, is backed by crazy lefto radicals and lacks the temperament for the bench. He might even say someone who turns pedophiles loose shouldn't be a SC justice.
He's just prejudiced against people named Ketanji

[M. Thatcher]

Then he must know there are enough Republican votes to confirm her. So he gets to play the conservative this time.

Bingo.

[Carriage Hill]

They’ll get their way, one way or another.

[rktman]

NOT holding my breath.

[rktman]

Mittens, suzee Q Collins, murkycowskee, sasse.......

[steveo]

The Mrs. calls her Jumanji Jackson.

[Carriage Hill]

I can’t write here what I call “her”.

[SE Mom]

She’s an appalling choice. And regardless of whether McCnnell is doing this as a cynical political ploy or not- it’s good for the Constitution he’s voting against her.

I think she makes Sotomayor look like a centrist.

God, I miss Scalia.

[Carriage Hill]

“God, I miss Scalia.”

Me too.

[Vision]

You have to be soulless to want this deeply racist and troubled person on the Supreme Court.

America, you have a morality problem.

[xkaydet65]

All she would need is zero GOP votes. No Dem will vote no. SCOTUS isn’t a hill Manchin would die on. So 50-50 plus Camel. Confirmed.

[Carriage Hill]

With 58 genders, LGBFZwhatever, legal infanticide etc etc etc, we have a major morality problem.

[Whatever Works]

Ask him again in five minutes. Wonder what he wants?

[KingLudd]

“For whatever anyone thinks of McConnell, this is an important early statement. “

Please reread TangoLimaSierra’s comment:

Then he must know there are enough Republican votes to confirm her.
So he gets to play the conservative this time.

[fwdude]

Well, I did say miracle, which implies the impossible.

[neverevergiveup]

Then he must know there are enough Republican votes to confirm her. So he gets to play the conservative this time.

That would obviously NOT be surprising. They likely coordinate their votes on almost everything. Voting your 'conscience' would seem to require having a conscience.

[sheehan]

all kabuki

as someone mentioned... 50-50 split with the whore Kumala casting the ‘historic’ vote to put Kenji over the top

stolen elections have devastating consequences

[Republican Wildcat]

Then he must know there are enough Republican votes to confirm her.

They don't need any Republican votes. Democrats have the majority.

Prayers work. Miracles happen. I join you. Amen.
