The big picture: With all Democrats planning to vote for her, Jackson’s confirmation is far from certain. MP Susan Collins (R-Main) said last week that she would also vote in favor of Jackson.

“While I do not expect to agree with any decision he may make in the Court, I believe it meets more than the standard of excellence and integrity,” Romney said in a statement. Murkowski said her support for Jackson “is also based on my rejection of the corrosive politicization of the Supreme Court’s review process, which, on both sides of the aisle, is becoming increasingly distant from reality over time. ».

The Senate will vote on Jackson’s candidacy despite a tie in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday.
