Racist MAGA GOP must oppose her and pretend it's not about race. Drop all pretense and just put on the white sheets. At the start of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court hearings last week, Republicans made a solemn promise: They would not treat her as badly as Democrats had treated Brett M. Kavanaugh during his 2018 confirmation hearings — a set of circumstances Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) called “one of the lowest moments in the history of this [Senate Judiciary] committee.” The reviews are in. And not only do Americans support Jackson’s confirmation significantly more than they supported other recent nominees — they also view Republicans’ handling of it about as poorly as they view Democrats’ handling of Kavanaugh, if not worse. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/01/americans-disapprove-gop-jackson/

Hard to imagine that sixteen BYU law professors would endorse a judge who is alleged by disreputable and craven MAGA GOP politicians to be soft on crime and child pornographers. A recent letter backing Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court rattled off many of her supporters’ oft-stated reasons she should be confirmed — her top-notch academic credentials, her support from police groups, her expansive experience in the law. But this particular endorsement, written by 16 law professors from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, added another element of Jackson’s record that has not been as frequently discussed. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/03/romney-ketanji-jackson-supreme-court/

White Christofascist hypocrites. What will Sen.Tim Scott do? He'll be on the wrong side of history. Republican senators’ hypocrisy peaks when they complain that Democrats mistreated past GOP nominees, such as Justice Barrett and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. It was Republicans who obliterated the last shreds of goodwill in the judicial confirmation process when they blocked then-Judge Merrick Garland, whom President Barack Obama nominated in 2016 to replace the late Antonin Scalia, based on scant principle whatsoever. Republicans seek to obscure the unattractive image of their almost entirely White caucus rejecting the first Black woman ever nominated to the high court. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/04/03/republican-excuses-rejecting-ketanji-brown-jackson-are-absurd/

Her crime was following sentencing guidelines made by congress…
The GOP is basically saying only Republicans are allowed on the Supreme Court.

Have to cater to the racist MAGA GOP base. I guess the GOP will need to order more white sheets. It could be that the GOP base is so infused with white supremacy that any vote for a Black woman would simply be unacceptable to the MAGA crowd. No wonder Republicans are desperate to tie Jackson to critical race theory, as in a GOP advertisement roundly criticized as racist, and the determination of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) to drag CRT into the hearings. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/04/04/republicans-lie-about-jackson/

Murkowski and Romney to vote to confirm. With Susan "I'm concerned" Collins.
Judge Brown Jackson now has three GOP votes.
In your turtleface, Moscow Mitch. Head for your fainting couch, Lindsey.

It stands for nothing but only exists for its own craven pursuit of power and tax cuts for their wealthy puppet masters.

How many democrats not named Manchin voted for Gorsuch, Kavanaugh or Barrett? Go back to Alito as well.
Partisan voting on Supreme Court nominees is not a one party trend.

Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were all confirmed after Garland denied even a hearing by hypocrite Moscow Mitch who proceeded to cram Barrett through the process. And Alito received 4 Dem votes with one GOPer voting against him. The Senate voted 58–42 on January 31, 2006, to confirm Alito as the 110th justice of the Supreme Court. All but one of the Senate's 55 Republicans voted to confirm Alito; they were joined by four Democrats who broke party ranks and voted in his favor. This was the closest confirmation vote for a Supreme Court nominee since Associate Justice Clarence Thomas was confirmed 52–48 in 1991.

Entirely equivalent. If you've suffered a traumatic brain injury.

I guess refusing to grant a Supreme Court nominee even a hearing (see e.g. Merrick Garland) is "a one party trend"? That party/cult being the MAGA GOP? Senate Republicans are refusing to say if they would fill a future potential Supreme Court vacancy during President Biden’s remaining tenure in a warning shot to the White House as the GOP aims to take back control of Congress after the midterms. Comments from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) about how a GOP-controlled Senate would approach Biden judicial nominees is intensifying questions about whether Republicans would refuse a high court pick from the Democratic president should the GOP control the chamber in 2023. That notion would mark a major escalation of the long-running, and increasingly antagonistic, judicial wars that have rocked the Senate. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who would be majority leader again if Republicans took back the chamber, is so far refusing to tip his hand. “I’m not going to go forward with any prediction on what our strategy might be should we become the majority,” McConnell said when asked about a potential vacancy in 2023 or 2024.

Or maybe the holy rollers are trying to expedite the coming of the Armageddon/rapture?
