Cruz, Cornyn voted down Ketanji Brown Jackson last year for a lower court | The Texas Tribune
President Joe Biden announced Jackson as his appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday morning. If confirmed, she’d be the nation’s first Black woman to sit on the high court. Just in time for the midterms
. . ."Democrats hold a slim 50-50 majority in the upper chamber, with Vice President Kamala Harris ready to cast a tie-breaking vote if necessary.
"Cornyn said in a statement Friday morning that he looked forward to meeting Jackson and conducting a thorough review of her credentials.
“ 'Ultimately I will be looking to see whether Judge Jackson will uphold the rule of law and call balls and strikes, or if she will legislate from the bench in pursuit of a specific agenda,” Cornyn said.
"Cornyn also said that Jackson “will be given the dignity and respect she deserves,” adding that the confirmation will be “starkly” different from the treatment of judicial nominees during the Trump administration."
