Black History
GOP Senator Susan Collins to Support Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson for Supreme Court.
“There can be no question that she is qualified to be a Supreme Court justice,” said Sen Susan Collins (R-ME), citing Judge Jackson’s “breadth of experience as a law clerk, attorney in private practice, federal public defender, member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission and district court judge for more than eight years.”
After being reassured that Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would not be ‘bending the law to meet a personal preference,’ GOP Senator Susan Collins of Maine said Wednesday that she will vote in favor of making her the first Black woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.
The New York Times reported that Collins made the announcement the day after she had a second, private meeting with Jackson on Tuesday.
“There can be no question that she is qualified to be a Supreme Court justice,” said Collins, citing Judge Jackson’s “breadth of experience as a law clerk, attorney in private practice, federal public defender, member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission and district court judge for more than eight years.”
At this time, Collins is the only Republican senator who will break rank with fellow Republicans who appear to be set to vote against Brown-Jackson for what they perceive as a record that is liberal and soft on crime.
