Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson is winning praise from a key Senate Republican.
Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson meets with Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, March 8, 2022. Judge Jackson's confirmation hearing starts March 21. If confirmed, she would be the court's first Black female justice. – Republican Sen.
The Maine senator is perhaps Democrats’ best hope of landing a Republican vote for Jackson's nomination, as Supreme Court confirmations have become sharply partisan affairs in recent years. President Joe Biden and Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who is guiding the vetting process for Jackson, have both said they want to get back to the days when Supreme Court confirmations were overwhelmingly bipartisan.
Other Republicans are unlikely to vote for Jackson. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who met with the nominee last week, afterward questioned her support from liberal advocacy groups. Hirono noted that Jackson excelled at Harvard Law School and is highly qualified for the position. She asked that “those who use those terms stop using them.”
