Sen. Thom Tillis said Wednesday that Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson is impressive and well-qualified, but he wont support her.
In a news release, Tillis said he plans to vote against her confirmation both in a committee and on the Senate floor out of concerns that Jackson might try to legislate from the bench.
Democrats narrowly control the Senate and are expected to be able to confirm Jackson. Republican Sen. Susan Collins announced Wednesday she plans to support her. If the Senate confirms her, that would help President Joe Biden, who nominated Jackson, to fulfill his campaign promise to put a Black woman on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, is one of 22 senators who sits on the Judiciary Committee and was able to question Jackson last week about her credentials, qualifications and background.
