The Alaskan Senator's statement is correct. Its true for the Democrat side too.

She don't even know what a woman is

I applaud the 3 Republican Senators for pledging their support for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Thank you 😊

[merriemelodiesfan]

I disagree with the Alaskan senator somewhat. She needs to take a look at her own party's abnormal behavior before claiming that Democrats are doing the same.

I’m a black transgender woman so I deserve to be part of the Supreme Court justices

Ketanji Jackson: idk what a woman is im not a biologist
also ketanji: I know im a woman, i know my mom is.

HOW!? I thought you werent a biologist?

In Spite of the facts that her appointment is totally political, we will approve another totally biased activist to the Supreme court.

I am all for a Black female justice but not this one. Why can't we just say thank you but we're going to interview other candidates without it being an insult. There are a lot of great Black female lawyers and judges out there and remember this job is for life.

All of are full of it political grandstanding we need to everybody out of both parties and start fresh and have term limits

[karenfitzpatrick]

Three Republicans who are listening to their own best judgements. We just need the rest of them to get out of the Trump Cult. Or even better be removed from the Senate. By law if they were complicit or part of the insurrection of Jan. 6th 2020l. Or by vote in their next election to turn their seat over to their opponent on the ballot.

Having books smarts does not make them appropriate for SCOTUS... The problem no one seems to be addressing is the she is an activist Judge and seems to be in the opinion the pedophilia is something society should now accept and we should give these people the right to live their lives ...even if its at the expense of children .

Does anyone believe if Will Smith was in Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s position he would handle it well? 😄

[maymay]

Senators, hats off for doing the right thing! Every one knows judge K. Brown Jackson is qualified!!!

[NDARYBC]

She got the Skills from when she was a kid, a career she's been pursuing since...SHE'S A WINNER😙😍😗😘😚😇😀

[martinmukuna]

Now I understand why Mitt Romney lost against Obama. He isn’t very smart

[joshuabailey]

There are way better black woman if that's the only thing I need to do to qualify

[tumkint]

First Black woman on SCOTUS!

All right now!

a great day for America and our Liberal Christian Values
