Murkowski and Romney support Biden nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court
Fox News, Apr 4, 2022

Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney Monday said they will vote for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to be confirmed to the Supreme Court, bringing the total expected GGOP votes for Jackson's confirmation up to three.

"After reviewing Judge Jackson’s record and testimony, I have concluded that she is a well-qualified jurist and a person of honor," Romney, R-Utah, said. "While I do not expect to agree with every decision she may make on the Court, I believe that she more than meets the standard of excellence and integrity."

"My support rests on Judge Jackson’s qualifications, which no one questions; her demonstrated judicial independence; her demeanor and temperament; and the important perspective she would bring to the court as a replacement for Justice Breyer," Murkwoski, R-Alaska, said.

The Senate Monday voted 53-47 to discharge Jackson's nomination from the Judiciary Committee after the committee deadlocked 11-11 along party lines on Jackson's nomination. Murkowski, Romney and Collins delivered three GOP affirmative votes in what will likely be touted by the White House as a major win.

I won't be helping to give the Republicans a majority in the Senate while Collins and Romney and possibly Murkoski are seated.

Romney wants a pedophile apologist in the supreme court, your kids fighting WW3 & masks on our faces.

He is our enemy, treat him as such.

Jackson now has enough votes to be confirmed.

Everyone who cares about defending the Constitution, self-evident truth, and REALITY should be very, very mad at Republicans right now.

I've been mad at the GOP for a very long time, especially since J6.  They no longer represent me, nor am I affiliated with them.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I fail to see why three usual-suspect turncoats ought to bring blame upon the entire opposition party. What was the party leadership supposed to do?

After all, wasn't this the same argument you and other Trump apologists gave us six years ago? The shoe is now on the other foot.

   Since I have Respectable Friends here that are still in the Trenches fighting to turn the GOP into a Conservative BENT and a few that, after many years. have just given up and even registered Independent, as I have.

    I Love you all.

BS!  RINOS aren't really republicans, and WE need to learn to distinguish between the ones who are and the ones who aren't!

Because if R's gain the majority, Romney will be in line for a committee chairmanship ... and I'll work against this happening every way I can.

Recall that Romney surrounded himself with the Pro-Family mantra.

Quote
THE MERITS OF ROMNEY'S PRO-FAMILY POLICY
Sen. Mitt Romney’s “Family Security Act” has come at precisely the right moment. The epidemic of loneliness is intensifying, and rates of marriage and fertility are plummeting. COVID-19 has put a spotlight on the social and economic insecurity of the poor and working classes, as well as on the shrinking middle class. Romney's act proposes transforming the existing child tax credit into a larger monthly child allowance for parents—$350 per month for children ages 0–5, beginning when the child is in utero, and $250 per month for children ages 6–17. This would spread the significant financial costs of child-rearing to the community at large, so that parents are not economically disadvantaged vis-à-vis childless adults in their efforts to raise the next generation.

The proposal has many merits as a response to the bleak trends highlighted by the pandemic. More important still, it would serve as an overdue corrective to liberalism’s devastating effects on the family.

According to Mary Ann Glendon, “A nation without a conscious family policy has a family policy made by chance.” As Glendon has explored singularly throughout her career, America's libertarian legal tradition serves as our country’s implicit pedagogical backdrop. This tradition prioritizes the individual in our cultural imagination, even as each and every individual is raised in a family. When we fail to intentionally affirm the essential work of the family—and not only rhetorically—our laws and policies will bend steadily toward the needs of the self-determining, unencumbered individual. The result, Glendon tells us, is “a climate that systematically disadvantages caretakers and dependents.”

Mitt needs to be asked why he is supporting a person who supports pedophiles, not exactly a pro-family position.

After Opposing Ketanji Brown Jackson On Lower Court, Romney Flip-Flops To Support Her For SCOTUS

Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney announced plans Monday to confirm the same judge for the nation’s highest court he opposed less than a year ago for a seat on the D.C. Circuit.

President Joe Biden’s pick to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, Circuit Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, is expected to reach successful confirmation after the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-11 to approve her nomination. Jackson’s consideration is headed for a full-chamber vote pending a discharge petition.

“After reviewing Judge Jackson’s record and testimony, I have concluded that she is a well-qualified jurist and a person of honor,” Romney wrote in a statement after the nominee’s confirmation hearings unearthed an extensive record of leniency for individuals convicted of child sex crimes.

“She more than meets the standard of excellence and integrity,” Romney added. Jackson’s record is not only extremely weak on child sex offenders but also shows contempt for the Constitution.

So Mittens thinks she isn't qualified for the District Court, but is for SCOTUS?

(1) I wish we could have all financial records of Romney frozen and investigated.  There was some change in dynamics here that caused him to flip.

(2) Has some dirty deal been set up for help the dems and/or their operatives fund Romney for a 3rd party POTUS run in '24.  In return for his Confirmation Vote.

I'm of the persuasion that those three would vote for any nominee that came across their desk.
