Why Democrats hope Romney will support Ketanji Brown Jackson

A recent letter backing Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court rattled off many of her supporters’ oft-stated reasons she should be confirmed — her top-notch academic credentials, her support from police groups, her expansive experience in the law.

But this particular endorsement, written by 16 law professors from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, added another element of Jackson’s record that has not been as frequently discussed.

“Though we do not believe that religious faith should be a test for any federal office, as faculty at a law school whose sponsoring church endured persecution by the federal government, we find it worthy of note that Judge Jackson understands and values the freedom of religion,” said the letter, which argued that Jackson would be a “distinguished appointment” to the Supreme Court.

He will definitely vote yes so I don't see what the problem is.

[JonPreston]

No need for the Ds to hope.

[HighSierra5]

He already supports Black Lives Mutter so he will definitely vote for her. He has to. He has to appeal to his base of 15 African Americans.

[McGavin999]

And 15 pedophiles

The article is solely for the purpose of pre- congratulating Romney to confirm his place of honor within the elite.

child traffickers are gonna ....

[rovenstinez]

even if 100% of everyone in Utah asked him to vote against. He has sold his soul to the globalist cause. He is at heart committed to vote and support Joe Biden.

I’m surprised that little Jeffrey Flake hasn’t chimed in on Jackson yet. I guess the radical, “wise latina group” La Raza, hasn’t read him the riot act in an elevator anywhere yet.

[Seaplaner]

With the prospect of heavy petting from WaPo, financial pirate* Willard will likely vote to confirm, one highly suspects.

Luckily, he is a Former Senator.

Isn’t kaBenji already on his rolodex?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

She has to get out of the committee first and the judiciary committee is deadlocked at 11 apiece (Harris is a non-factor).

McConnell made an agreement with Schumer. Schumer is already saying he's going to invoke cloture, which means he'll need 10 GOP votes to confirm her.

Anyone who votes for her is also voting for someone who is soft on pedophelia.
That isn’t spin. It is a fact.

[backwoods-engineer]

“Top notch academic credentials?” Bull crap. She is an affirmative-action dunce, Marxist and pedophile lover.

[high info voter]

This is America...... stand up patriots with the Constitution in your hand and faith in God within your heart. Obey Him and NOT the woke leftist Marxist government that is leading us to destruction!! STAND UP AMERICA!! John Hagee Ministries at Cornerstone Church of San Antonio, TX

God I hope he votes yes for a pro-abortion judge. Please let him touch the third rail of Utah politics.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

You can count on it...

[genghis]

No way he votes yes he wants to keep his job in 2024

[reintarnation]

No way he votes yes he wants to keep his job in 2024

He'll keep his job as long as the mormon leaders say he'll keep his job.
And he'll vote the way they instruct him to.

If Romney does, he is done politically!
