Sen. Lisa Murkowski was one of three Republicans to break party lines and confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson in the 53-47 vote. Jackson is highly qualified and will ensure the court better represents America, Murkowski said.
The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, making her the first Black woman to sit on the nation’s highest court.
Jackson is well qualified and proved during her confirmation hearing that she has the appropriate temperament, Murkowski said. “You saw instances where she ruled for the administration and against the administration,” Murkowski said. “She ruled for environmental groups and against environmental groups. She ruled for labor and against labor.”
