Mitch McConnell Says ‘No Question’ Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Qualified for the Supreme Court
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said there is “no question” that Ketanji Brown Jackson has the qualifications to be a Supreme Court justice.
The Republican senator from Kentucky met with Judge Jackson on Wednesday, and was also complimentary of President Joe Biden’s pick for the highest court in the land during a radio appearance on “The Guy Benson Show.”
“I think she’s intelligent, very likely progressive. The Senate Republican minority intends to treat the nominee respectfully,” McConnell said.
“I’m not at all interested, for example, in what someone may have written in her high school yearbook,” McConnell added. This appeared to be in reference to the contentious 2018 Senate hearing for now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was selected by former President Donald Trump.
President Biden has nominated Jackson to fill the Supreme Court vacancy that will be left open after the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer. Biden had promised to name a Black woman to the Supreme Court upon taking office. Jackson currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and would make history as the first Black woman on the Supreme Court if she is confirmed. What’s more, Jackson once clerked for Breyer. (Read more from “Mitch McConnell Says ‘No Question’ Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Qualified for the Supreme Court” HERE)
