The senator said he thinks she will “certainly” be confirmed and that it will a “high point” for the country to see her elevated to the Supreme Court.
“But I don’t think she’s the kind of judge that will really do the kind of work that I think needs to be done by the court and I won’t be supporting her. But I’ll be joining others and understanding the importance of this moment,” Blunt said.
Sen. Roy Blunt said he thinks she will “certainly” be confirmed and that it will a “high point” for the country to see her elevated to the Supreme Court.While the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Blunt does not sit on, is expected to vote Monday on Jackson’s confirmation, the full Senate has yet to schedule a vote.
All 11 Democrats on the panel are expected to vote for her, while all 11 of Republicans are expected to oppose her.Sen Roy Blunt said that while the DC federal circuit court judge was “certainly qualified” and has a “great personality,” her judicial views gave him pause.Collins was one of three GOP senators who voted to confirm Jackson to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals last year, along with Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
a member of the committee, said he would oppose her confirmation, but Murkowski hasn’t publicly said where she stands on the nomination. Only one Republican, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, has come out in support of Jackson.With Collins’ backing, Democrats appear to have enough votes to confirm Jackson in the 50-50 divided chamber.
Biden nominated Jackson in February to replace Justice Stephen Breyer, who said he would be stepping down from the high court this summer.
