So it really looks like it will get down to Manchin again. No GOP support for Jackson???

[Samrob]

If that is true, Manchin will once again be the key. What do you think he will do?

[Ocelot II]

1. What does Manchin have to do with Jackson's confirmation?

[Chicago1980]

4. As a senator, he has to vote for her confirmation.

[Ocelot II]

6. He will. I hardly think that's a problem.

[FoxNewsSucks]

13. How do you know?

He's been a tremendous pain in the ass to Biden so far.

BBB, voting rights - both crucial for our future and both blocked by Manchin.

His record and history have been posted here many times. I have no trust in him, don't know why anyone would.

[Ocelot II]

17. He's always voted for Biden appointees.

Manchin's primary purpose as a senator seems to be to protect the coal industry and therefore his own wealth. While some liberal judges might tend to throw a monkey wrench in those works it's not high on the list of priorities. Manchin wants to do just enough for the Dems to keep his senate seat. I see no reason why he'd oppose Jackson.

[FoxNewsSucks]

18. Those are good points, and I hope you're right.

But, like the concerned Collins and others, they vote on certain crucial things exactly the way the republicon masters want. Regardless of being given free reign to be "maverick independents" on other less critical issues.

SCROTUS is crucial. Moscow Mitch may well think it worthwhile to do whatever he needs to keep Biden from successfully making any nominations and steal another seat or two.

I do hope you're right, but I'll believe it when I see it.

2. he will vote for her without issues.nt.

[SoCalDavidS]

3. What Makes You Think There Will Be Zero?

Everyone keeps saying there will be at least a couple of repubs voting yes.

I think that Manchin will not be a road block, and he'll vote to confirm her.

[elleng]

5. No, I think you're wrong, and several DUers have noted/suggested

some repugs voting YES for Judge Jackson, and others think Manchin will continue supporting Pres Biden's judicial appointees.

[SoCalDavidS]

7. She'll Get 52 or 53 Yes Votes nt

[Samrob]

9. I hope so, but I am not counting on it. nt

[brooklynite]

8. Manchin has supported every Biden Judge appointment

[totodeinhere]

10. Manchin will vote to confirm and a handful of Republicans will also support the

nomination.

[jalan48]

11. Oh, I could see Manchin saying he will only vote for a nominee that has some bipartisan support.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

12. My guess is 70-30 to confirm.

Manchin voting yes.

[obamanut2012]

14. They haven't even voted

Good grief, the doomposting on here is getting out of control.

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. I expect Collins, Romney, Murkowski will vote to confirm.

I haven’t heard anything to the contrary.

[mcar]

16. I still think a few R senators will vote to confirm

I believe that Manchin will also.
