U.S. Supreme Court nominee Jackson secures more Republican backers, clears hurdle | Reuters  WASHINGTON, April 4 (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson secured the support of two more Senate Republicans on Monday, as she cleared a procedural hurdle toward becoming the first Black woman to serve on the nation's top judicial body.

"Republicans Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney joined Susan Collins in saying they would vote to confirm Jackson, 51, to a lifetime seat on the court later this week. They also supported a procedural 53-47 vote to bring her nomination to the Senate floor after the Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocked 11-11 along party lines on whether to advance the nomination.

"Murkowski and Romney, who do not serve on the Judiciary Committee, announced their backing of Jackson as the Senate began voting to "discharge" the nomination from the panel, propelling it to the full Senate.

"Their endorsement came after Collins last week became the first Republican senator to announce her support for Jackson. read more". . .

What Conservatives Found Peculiar About Mitt Romney's Decision on Ketanji Brown Jackson (townhall.com)

. . ."It's always those three—always. When it comes time for Republicans to unite, they will find some reason to stab us in the back. The Romney hate erupted within the ranks of the conservative base and for good reason. Not only did Romney stab us in the back, but he had also previously voted against Judge Jackson for her lower court appointment. She’s not qualified for the appeals court, but she’s a-okay for the Supreme Court. That’s the anti-Trump GOP for you, everyone. Luckily, they’re a breed that’s rapidly approaching extinction.

. . . And if these three were to not ever hold their offices again, the Senate Republicans would be infinitely better off. Matt Vespa

Comment to this post:  "Collins shouldn’t be compared to Romney and Murkowski. Collins is as conservative as she could be in a sapphire blue state without getting kicked out while Romney and Murkowski are just pissing on us. Luckily there is something called voting, if your(sp)from Alaska there is a primary soon."  Danny
