— Sen. Mitt Romney announced Monday that he plans to vote in favor of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as a Supreme Court justice.
President Joe Biden nominated Jackson in February to fill the seat that will be vacated by Justice Stephen Breyer, who is retiring at the end of the term. Republicans have said Jackson has a history of being soft on crime and lenient toward criminal offenders in their sentencing, particularly those involving child pornography cases.
On the other hand, Democrats have talked about what a historic moment this vote is for the U.S., with Senator Amy Klobuchar saying, the judge"is truly an inspiration to young Black girls."Her confirmation would also mark for the first time in history that four women would sit together on the nine-member court.
