Sen. LeaderMcConnell is pushing for a 'rigorous, exhaustive review' of President JoeBiden’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's record as the chamber prepares to begin the confirmation process.
Biden announced his decision to tap Jackson to serve as the successor to retiring Justice Stephen Breyer on Friday morning, with GOP lawmakers expressing reservations about her tenure serving in lower courts.
“I also understand Judge Jackson was the favored choice of far-left dark-money groups that have spent years attacking the legitimacy and structure of the Court itself. With that said, I look forward to carefully reviewing Judge Jackson’s nomination during the vigorous and thorough Senate process that the American people deserve,” he added.
While confirming Jackson will require just a simple majority in the upper chamber, some GOP lawmakers have expressed reluctance to support the nominee, with Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina arguing the selection “means the radical Left has won President Biden.”"I congratulate Judge Jackson on her nomination to the high court. The judgments of a justice can affect the lives of every American in perpetuity,” he said in a statement.
