Top Republican says Ketanji Brown Jackson will be confirmed, but he won't support her
Source: ABC News
Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt, a member of Republican leadership, said he will not vote to support President Joe Biden's Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, for her historic confirmation to the nation's highest court, citing disagreements with her judicial philosophy.
"Initially, my sense is that the president certainly had every good intention and every right in the campaign to talk about putting the first Black woman on the court," Blunt told "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos exclusively on Sunday. "I think it's time for that to happen. I was hoping that I could be part of that."
The retiring senator continued, "I think she's certainly going to be confirmed. I think it'll be a high point for the country to see her go on the court. But I don't think she's the kind of judge that will really do the kind of work that I think needs to be done by the court. And I won't be supporting her, but I'll be joining others and understanding the importance of this moment."
Blunt was considered one of the few Republicans who may cross the aisle to support Jackson's nomination. While only three GOP senators supported Jackson's nomination to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals last year, Blunt was absent for that vote, and said he had a "good discussion" with Jackson when they met on March 16.

Important work like further restricting people's rights. You're no better than your counterpart Josh Hawley.
