Senate Democrats can confirm Jackson in the Supreme Court without the support of Republicans if all members of their House of Representatives vote in favor, which seems a good move and Vice President Kamala Harris will break the tie. It is unclear whether Jackson will win the Republican vote. If the Democrats can win the support of the GOP, they will be able to advertise the confirmation as a bipartisan victory. “I started a deeper dive, a much deeper dive than I had in the previous assessment,” Romney said, adding, “And in this case, it has deepened by talking about its judicial philosophy before.” And, of course, we are looking at her judicial background, as a district judge and as a second instance judge, much more than we had before. “ Democrats stressed the historic nature of Jackson’s candidacy during her confirmation hearings, noting that she would be the first black woman to serve as a Supreme Court justice. Democrats also argued that the depth and breadth of her experience would add a valuable and unique perspective to the Supreme Court. Several Republicans, on the other hand, have voiced criticism and concern about Jackson’s history, including claiming she was polite and very lenient in condemning child pornography cases, accusations challenged by the candidate and Democrats. . Asked about the tone and content of the hearings and how the Republicans questioned Jackson, Romney told Hunt: that they were very useful. to those who make an assessment “. But he said critically, “I thought some people were preparing for their presidential campaign. And, if you will, they did the things you have to do to get on TV, which I think is unfortunate.” Romney went on to say: “I think any arrangement like this, which does not show respect for the witness, or in this case, the judge, is not the right way to go. We need to show, in my opinion, more respect for each other.And so sometimes the rhetoric was a little hot.But I think in the end, each of us will be able to make our decision based on our personal interviews with Judge Jackson and the results that come from from these hearings “. Only three Republican senators voted in favor of Jackson last year when he appeared before the Senate: Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Collins and Murkowski are not members of the Senate Judiciary Committee and have not had the opportunity to question the candidate during the hearings. Graham, who is a member of the Justice Committee, addressed harsh and highly critical questions to the candidate and seemed to state that he would not support her candidacy. So far, however, no Democrat has publicly stated that he will vote against the candidate. West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, a key moderate and surprise vote, announced Friday that he intends to vote for Jackson, a move that is anything but a guarantee that his candidacy will be confirmed.
