Jacksons Supreme Court ConfirmationRepublican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has made it known that he will vote against confirming President Joe Bidens Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the first Black woman to sit on the nations highest judicial bench.
As GOP leader in the U.S. Senate, McConnells announcement was not a surprise to many, although Jackson most likely will not need his vote. McConnell claimed on Twitter on March 24 that his decision was nonpartisan. Some say it may be because of another bias.

McConnell also voiced his opposition on the Senate floor on the last day of the confirmation hearings, citing Jacksons noncommittal replies about whether she would support a plan to add four seats to the bench. There are currently nine Supreme Court justices. Jackson said the question is beyond the proper role of a judge.

Only Congress can expand the court through legislation. Some Democrats have pushed for the change.
