<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the fourth day of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s hearing for nomination to the Supreme Court wrapped, Mitch McConnell stated he would vote against President Biden’s nominee.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taking the Senate floor, the Republican leader stated, “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">After studying the nominee&#8217;s record and watching her performance this week, I cannot and will not support D.C. Judge Jackson for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also added, &#8220;It&#8217;s a recipe for courts to wander into policy making and prevent healthy Democratic compromise. This is the misunderstanding of the separation of powers that I&#8217;ve spent my entire career fighting against.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pointing out her sentencing decisions and her judicial philosophy, McConnell continued to say, “I will vote against this nominee.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This isn’t the first time McConnell voted against Jackson. According to The Hill, he voted against her last year “for her appeals court spot.”</span></p>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">As you may know, Judge Jackson was confirmed as Vice Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission in 2010. During Obama’s second term, he also nominated Ketanji to be a district court judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. She was confirmed in 2012.</p>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Democrats will move forward with Jackson’s nomination. The Judiciary Committee will vote on the 51-year-old’s nomination on April 4th.</span></p>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">If confirmed, Ketanji will be the first African-American woman to serve on the Supreme Court.</p>
