Two-thirds of Americans back Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court, poll shows

Source: USA Today

WASHINGTON – As the Senate moves closer to confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman ever to serve on the Supreme Court, a new poll released Wednesday indicated she has widespread support from the public.

Two-thirds of Americans said that if they were senators they would vote to confirm Jackson, according to a Marquette Law School poll. Nearly half of the poll's respondents described the appellate judge as "very qualified" to serve on the nation's highest court.

Democrats are pushing for a final vote on Jackson's confirmation by Easter after four days of hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week. Jackson, who would replace retiring Associate Justice Stephen Breyer, appeared to navigate difficult questions about her sentencing of child pornography offenders without losing support.

"She's in better shape than a lot of the issues springing up at the court where the partisan divides can be stark," said Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette poll, noting that President Joe Biden's nominee has support from nearly three in 10 Republicans. "Joe Biden would love to get 29 percent of the Republican Party."

To replace the "brain drain" from Russia with our brainless? I sure Putin would love some more malleable citizens.

the judges are no longer appointed directly to SCOTUS. Rather we still have nine but every year there is a lottery that randomly picks 3 current Federal court judges to sit on the court for a single 3 year term.
No confirmation or involvement from the Senate or White House.
