Graham to cast no vote on high court nominee

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today announced he will oppose and vote against the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

 

“I oppose and will vote against the nomination of Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court,” said Graham. “My decision is based upon her record of judicial activism, flawed sentencing methodology regarding child pornography cases, and a belief that Judge Jackson will not be deterred by the plain meaning of the law when it comes to liberal causes. I find Judge Jackson to be a person of exceptionally good character, respected by her peers, and someone who has worked hard to achieve her current position. However, her record is overwhelming in its lack of a steady judicial philosophy and a tendency to achieve outcomes in spite of what the law requires or common sense would dictate. After a thorough review of Judge Jackson’s record and information gained at the hearing from an evasive witness, I now know why Judge Jackson was the favorite of the Radical Left.”
