1. Gosh, such a difficult decision for you!

I know it's so hard doing the obviously right thing and letting your Republican buddies down, Joe. We feel for you.

[RainCaster]

2. I'm not believing him

Until the vote is over.

7. 100% believe Manchins written public statement on this historical nomination.

There are some things one can believe without reservation, it’s calming.

Like Joe is best President ever…or tied with Obama…3 years to judge.

[lagomorph777]

11. Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

Next in line, the replacement for Thomas. That ought to be interesting.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

3. Anyone not voting Aye!, might as well join the GOZQ. Did not cross the red line to insanity.

4. There shouldn't even be a need for him to issue a statement.

Jeez.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

9. Take the win and be happy...Justice Jackson it is! Joy!

[madaboutharry]

12. That is also true.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

15. Joy joy and more joy...hats my feeling! Bury the bile, I say! Day to celebrate!

[BigmanPigman]

13. I agree.

[Maeve]

5. Bully for you

[Alexander Of Assyria]

16. Great celebration for me and all of AA America! Rough road? Traversed!

[Maeve]

25. My sarcasm is for Manchin making a big deal out of doing the right thing

There should be ABSOLUTELY NO (ZERO, ZIP, NADA) question that she is more than qualified and belongs on the court. She should be confirmed with a full 100 votes.

6. Thank gawd, and like others have mentioned, I'll wait for the yea next to his name. 😡 😡 😡

[bucolic_frolic]

8. "intend to" sounds like there's still wiggle room

[FalloutShelter]

10. Does he want a medal?

[milestogo]

19. Yes.

[doc03]

14. Thank you president Manchin

[dalton99a]

17. America owes him an eternal gratitude for his courageous and extraordinary decision

[BGBD]

18. This board...

Swears he's in McConnels pocket and will vote her down.... then gets mad that he says he'll vote for her.

Just a reminder that Joe Manchin holding one of the reddest seats in the country is the ONLY reason she even gets a vote.

[Carlitos Brigante]

20. "Which was followed by a strong rebuke of the Republicans. Similar to the one he

offered to his Democratic colleagues after they criticized the minority leader...... "....... Oh shit, my bad, it's not April 1st yet. Someone please give this man a cookie.

22. Big of him.

CNN's Poppy Harlow said this pretty much assures her confirmation. I'll take the win.

[brush]

23. Even he knows he couldn't show his face if the deep sixed...

this nomination.

[Tom Rinaldo]

24. This is what we get with Manchin

He may be the 49th or 50th most reliable vote on the Democratic side, by he is a far more reliable vote for us than that of the most "moderate" of Republicans, including Collins, Murkowski, and Romney. Manchin has been good on Biden's judicial nominees. He had nice things to say about Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in his statement. I don't doubt that he will vote for her.

[BlueJac]

26. I'm a wait and see on this.

[kacekwl]

27. Bless his heart.

Coal black as it is.

28. Well glory be and la-dee-dah!1
