And remind us again who were the Republican Senators that voted for her confirmation?

Susan Collins of Maine

Lisa Murkowski of Alaska

Mitt Romney of Utah [1, 2]

These three senators praised her qualifications and judicial temperament, breaking with the rest of their party which voted against her

According to Grok:

Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT).

The U.S. Senate confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on April 7, 2022, by a 53-47 vote. All 50 Democrats (including independents who caucused with them) voted yes, joined by these three Republicans. The other 47 Republicans voted no.

This is confirmed by the official Senate roll call vote and multiple sources including Ballotpedia, CBS News, and Wikipedia.

Note: Some Republicans (including Collins and Murkowski) had previously voted to confirm Jackson to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2021, but only these three supported her Supreme Court nomination.

So, apparently, Kamala would have been the deciding vote had Murkowski, Collins, and Romney not voted yea on KBJ.

Jackson is an embarrassment to our SCOTUS and our country. She's only 55 years of age. She could easily last another 20-25 years stinking up the SCOTUS bench.

Yep, that's the cat... I remember him glad handing directly outside the door of a polling location- which should have been against the rules, I thought.

I feel this is the long game here for Dems. Plant an idiot to corrupt the institution.

Is there any chance that KBJ will step down from the court?

Zero chance. That would mean Dems would have to admit the general DEI push and Biden's nomination of her were wrong. She represents their whole platform they have pushed for decades -- that their people can perform at the highest levels if only they have a chance to do it.

I caught Senator Kennedy's Senate committee hearing of her & he made a complete fool of her. Later he called her the dumbest judicial candidate he's ever questioned.

Justices Thomas and Gorsuch join Alito's opinion. No justice joined Jackson in her dissent.

Well that's just embarrassing


People like her aren't embarrassed. She considers herself a hero standing alone and fighting for justice.

She thinks of herself a modern day Rosa Parks. She ain't moving to the back of the bus.

Never quibble with an idiot. Call them out and give no ground.

And what does that say about the dumb arse senators who voted for her confirmation. Has any reporter asked them how proud they are of that vote. They’d either avoid the question or deflect to something else.

Congress is the problem not the solution.

Is she bright enough to realize?

Of course she is. Brown is no idiot. Her seemingly idiotic opinions are the result of her belief in raw power. Hers is a classic left wing belief that we are ruled by a white patriarchy, and any tactic is justified in overthrowing that evil. The tendency on here to call every democrat, and especially every democrat woman, stupid is a self-gratifying tendency of lazy critics.

It was a 51-48 vote. If they hadn’t voted for her, she wouldn’t have been confirmed.
