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.

Manchin already said he’s voting to confirm.
So they need just a single Republican.
I’m predicting Collins, Murkowski, Romney, and possibly Graham to tip the scales and seat a radical leftist on the court for another 30+ years.
Ever consider that we have good reason for hating RINOs? They are exponentially more loathsome than Democrats. Not only are they happy to sell this Republic down the river, they are happy go get rich off the sale, and then lie their asses off to you about how conservative they are and how they represent you and “stand up” to the Democrats. String ‘em all up on every lamp post along Pennsylvania Ave.
If Sinema is a 'yes' then all they need is Harris.
I can see Romney, Collins and Murkowski. Sasse could go either way. Graham will be a 'no'; after his performance during the hearings how can he vote any other way. Maybe one or two others to bring it up to a 55 to 45 vote.
Romney is the NEW McCain!! We will NEVER be rid of these bastards, EVERYONE needs to stop kidding themselves I have been at this for DECADES and these bastards are STILL there!!
Yep, the demonKKKrats struck a deal with the GOPe to get it done. This is just a dog-and-pony show, as usual.
They should vote no simply due to Democrats’ treatment of Brett Kavanaugh.
The Assistant demoKKKrats & GOPe don’t have the spine to do that. Go along, get along. We are so screwed, as usual. The woman will be confirmed.
Falcon, I apologize for offending with my writing ‘ridiculous’. It wasn’t necessary and indeed, the Republicans are, in truth, more responsible for this mess than the Ds; for it is they who didn’t stand by their President. They refused to agree to a simple 10 day period to investigate the electors in contested states; thereby allowing that demented thief into office. Thank you for writing and have a Blessed day
He believes that she will be confirmed without his support and that he can therefor pretend to be principled.
Of course! Because it doesn’t matter.
If it did he’d vote Yea.
This!
Who does he think he’s fooling?
He’s fooling a lot of people; some right here on FR.
