They oppose taxes, immigration, the environment, consumer protections, and the rights of voters, minorities, women, and workers.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as President Biden&#8217;s nominee for the Supreme Court, Ketanji Brown Jackson, is being confirmed by the Senate, the Republican members of the Judiciary Committee have revealed themselves to be steadfastly against justices who have the <em>&#8220;drawbacks&#8221;<\/em> of being experienced and qualified.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52151\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tucker Carlson of Fox News Says Biden Chose Ketanji Brown Jackson to \u2018Destroy\u2019 the Supreme Court<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This characterization of Republican obstructionism is not hyperbole. It can be heard in their own words as they announce their intentions to vote against Judge Brown. <em>The Daily Show<\/em> has helpfully complied the statements of opposition by the Committee&#8217;s GOP blockaders, who shamelessly maligned Judge Jackson during the hearings, along with their utterly unreasonable reasons for doing so:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">These Republican senators want you to know they admire and respect Ketanji Brown Jackson, which is why she can f**k off <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0uXEbqzKED\">pic.twitter.com\/0uXEbqzKED<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDailyShow\/status\/1511132005836107780?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 5, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>For the record, the Republicans featured in this video are John Cornyn, Josh Hawley, Mike Lee, Marsha Blackburn, Thom Tillis, Chuck Grassley, and Lindsey Graham. And they all delivered remarks that at first effusively praised Jackson&#8217;s qualifications and integrity, before announcing that they would vote against her. It&#8217;s almost as if Jackson&#8217;s qualifications and integrity were the reasons for their <em>&#8220;no&#8221;<\/em> vote. And in a sense that&#8217;s true.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are scared witless of intelligent and accomplished people like Jackson because it blows apart their malicious mission to portray them all as moochers, criminals, and degenerates. And they are so averse to the notion of confirming an admirable Black woman who was nominated by a Democratic president that they have allowed whatever measure of rationality, principle, or patriotism to leak out of their tiny, partisan, racist minds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52363\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Floats Ludicrous New Criteria For Confirming Biden\u2019s Supreme Court Nominees<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To date the vast majority of Republican senators are planning to vote against Jackson. Only three have have indicated that they will vote to confirm her (Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Mitt Romney).
