Senate Republicans powerless to stop Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court tried to rain on her parade anyway by airing more grievances against her Thursday just before the vote.
Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina held a press conference ahead of the final confirmation vote to explain why they were not going to support Jackson.
Cruz said that he expected Jackson would, as a Supreme Court justice, consistently undermine conservative values including free speech, religious liberty, and gun rights. He also went back through her sentencing record, continuing the line of attack GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee used during the nomination hearings regarding her handling of child pornography cases.
"She is an extreme outlier on the question of crime," Cruz told reporters at the US Capitol.

Flinging feces is all these monkeys know.

(16,785 posts)I detect resentment in their statements. Not to mention jealousy that a Black woman rose to such high positions on her merits.
The most irritating thing is, Cruz knew of her at Harvard. Like Harvard is hard to get into, yet HE did.
