[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican Sen. Rick Scott (Fla.) signaled he is willing to consider voting for President Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, in an interview airing Sunday on "Full Court Press with Greta Van Susteren."

Scott said he is looking to meet Jackson and discuss how she sees the role of the judiciary branch.

"Do you understand you're not the legislative branch, your job is to interpret the law, enforce the law, but not make new law? And so, that's what I'll be asking her. And on all judges, that's the only thing I really care about. Are you going to do that? And are you going to be humble?" Scott said in the interview.

He said if Jackson proves to him that she would stick to interpreting the law and not seek to make new laws from the bench, he would vote for her to be confirmed.

Should not be anywhere near our government.

4. ☝️☝️

Does he all of a sudden think he’s relevant or that we’ve forgotten about his past?

Drop dead, idiot.

10. Rick Scott basically helped create a "little Russia" in FL

11. Fu_k him. We don't need his vote. Manchin has already signaled...

he's on board. And so has McTurtle in case Sinema continues her republican-leaning bent. It just takes 50 and VP Harris to break the tie so Scott can go to hell.

12. Scott is a weasel.

Don't trust a single word he says.

13. KBJ is an exceptional candidate.

The Repub scum knows that the optics of voting against her won't be good and could come back to haunt them. They don't care about black voters - but about white moderate swing voters - who could be put off by harsh and extended hearings.
