Why won't more Republicans vote for Ketanji Brown Jackson?
The news was splashed all over websites Wednesday morning: Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican, had decided to vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
"After reviewing Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's extensive record, watching much of her hearing testimony, and meeting with her twice in person, I have concluded that she possesses the experience, qualifications, and integrity to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court," Collins said. "I will, therefore, vote to confirm her to this position."
So ... that makes one Senate Republican who will vote for Jackson. And a few others -- most notably Utah Sen. Mitt Romney and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski -- who are still on the fence about how they will vote.
And, well, that's about it. It seems possible that Jackson may get only a single Republican vote and that, at the top end, a total of three or four Republicans end up backing her ascension to the Supreme Court. (Worth noting: Assuming all 50 Democrats back her, she could be confirmed without a single GOP vote.)

The idea of voting for competent, qualified jurists seems to have gone by the wayside among the Banana Republicans.
