[See NewsBusters for more.] Towards the end of Thursday’s Inside Politics on CNN, host John King and chief congressional correspondent Manu Raju lamented that Republicans are not lining up to vote for Ketanji Brown Jackson amid her “historic nomination” to the Supreme Court.
King got the ball rolling, suggesting that if a handful of Republicans were willing to vote for her to be on the D.C. circuit, then they should be willing to vote for her for the Supreme Court, “Democrats are impressed but winning support from Republicans who in the past voted to confirm her to lower jobs, still an open question.”
