McConnell Pushes GOP Senators to Oppose Jackson
April 2, 2022 at 8:55 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is putting public and private pressure on Senate Republican colleagues to oppose President Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court, despite the historic nature of her nomination to be the first Black woman on the court,” The Hill reports.

“McConnell has dug in against Biden’s nominee, arguing the vote isn’t about ‘race or gender’ but about Jackson’s record, which he says is too soft on crime and indicates she’ll likely turn into an activist judge on the bench.”

This is about GOP base, has nothing to do with the Justice.

She will be confirmed regardless.

Standing against her just confirms the GOP's bigotry, and will agitate black, women, suburban and rational voters.

16. Moscow Mitch was disappointed when he found out the movie "Boys in the Hood" wasn't about the KKK

after reading the headline and seeing "STILL a POS!"

And that was enough for me to K&R. No need to find out what Moscow Mitch's "rationale" is because it's pure, unadulterated B.S.

As opposed to all the activist judges you had installed over the past two decades? Go fuck yourself, Mitchy.

I mean, look at it from his point. She is highly intelligent with the perfect temperament. It’s not like the awesome sexual assaulting pig who was a black out drunk through college, or the poser xtian who NEVER tried a single case that replaced our beloved RBG.
Shit hole party gonna shit, shit, shit.

17. An activist judge?

You mean like giving corproations personhood? You fucking dolt. Maybe we should just have a 9-0 right wing majority on the court. Would that appease this turkey?

Just shove the nomination through for fucks sakes. Vote on it and confirm her. Why is this taking so long? They had Hand Maiden confirmed in 23 minutes.
