"I Cannot and Will Not Support Judge Jackson"
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 24, 2022
Tweet - "I went into the Senate's consideration of Judge Jackson's nomination with an open mind. But after studying the nominee's record and watching her performance this week, I cannot and will not support Judge Jackson for a lifetime appointment to our highest Court."
Sen. Mitch McConnell

Judge Jackson Owes the Senate Far More Clarity and Candor
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 23, 2022
Tweet - "Justices Ginsburg and Breyer had no problem defending the Court and slamming the door on partisan court-packing. Judge Jackson won't follow their lead. She carefully keeps that door open and avoids answering the Committee plainly. I'm afraid that speaks volumes."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 23, 2022
Tweet - "Judge Jackson tried to deflect on key questions by telling Senators that constitutional issues haven't come up often during her judicial service. Does she actually feel unprepared? If so, she shouldn't be confirmed. If not, then she owes the Senate much more clarity and candor."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 21, 2022
McConnell Remarks on Beginning of Supreme Court Hearings
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 21, 2022
Tweet - "The late Justice Ginsburg and Justice Breyer both publicly opposed court-packing during their tenures. This week, Judge Jackson will be asked if she shares their view on upholding the integrity of the Court."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 17, 2022
Tweet - "Justice Breyer, like the late Justice Ginsburg, is a staunch defender of the Court's legitimacy and an opponent of far left court-packing plans. This should not be a hard question for his potential replacement. The Senate and the country deserve a clear answer from Judge Jackson."
Sen. Mitch McConnell

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 25, 2022
Tweet - "The Senate must conduct a rigorous, exhaustive review of Judge Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court. This is especially crucial as Americans families face major crises that connect directly to our legal system, such as skyrocketing violent crime and open borders."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Feb. 25, 2022
