Mitch McConnell says 'no question' Ketanji Brown Jackson is qualified for the Supreme Court

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said there is “no question” that Ketanji Brown Jackson has the qualifications to be a Supreme Court justice.

The Republican senator from Kentucky met with Judge Jackson on Wednesday, and was also complimentary of President Joe Biden’s pick for the highest court in the land during a radio appearance on “The Guy Benson Show.”

“I think she’s intelligent, very likely progressive. The Senate Republican minority intends to treat the nominee respectfully,” McConnell said.

President Biden has nominated Jackson to fill the Supreme Court vacancy that will be left open after the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer. Biden had promised to name a Black woman to the Supreme Court upon taking office. Jackson currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and would make history as the first Black woman on the Supreme Court if she is confirmed. What’s more, Jackson once clerked for Breyer.

1. What's up with Mitch these days?

[Justice matters.]

4. Kompromat

Probably wants his "ties" with the Russian mob to remain secret as much as possible?

6. Ahh, yes. Always an angle.

I didn't actually think he had suddenly become non-racist or sexist.

10. Reps will play nice with this one...

Not going to make her a 2022 mid-term issue. Take what you can get!

3. "Since we stole two Democratic picks already....

and have a lock on a conservative majority, sure, why not confirm her. She's infinitely more qualified than the last three we pushed in there".

That's what McConnell meant to add at the end of his statement, but they cut him off.

5. Yeah but will you vote for her?

Let’s see if you walk the walk, Mitch.

7. "The Senate Republican minority intends to treat the nominee respectfully," McConnell said.

That was a good one, Mitch.
