Editorial Board: When state lawmakers consider nominations for two seats on the Utah Supreme Court, they should give them a respectful consideration — instead of just trying to get on camera, like Republicans on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, listens during the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Monday, March 21, 2022, in Washington.It was all too much, even for some Republicans.
The hearings were a master class from which members of the Utah Legislature should take examples of how not to behave as they, in the coming weeks, consider nominations for two seats on the Utah Supreme Court. Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse extended a sort of an apology and some advice to Jackson, noting that the behavior of some of his fellow Republicans was an argument that the Supreme Court should not feel compelled to follow the Senate’s example of having its proceedings televised.
Jackson’s reward for maintaining a cool and judicial calmness through two days of “jack-assery” is likely to be a positive recommendation from the Judiciary Committee and approval from the full Senate. She is chighly qualified and should win the votes of not only all the Senate’s Democrats but only of all fair-minded Republicans. , an experienced and accomplished attorney who was nominated to the Utah Court of Appeals by then-Gov. Gary Herbert in 2020.
