United States Sen. Rob Portman, of Ohio, released a statement on Tuesday morning regarding the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as a potential Supreme Court justice.
“I appreciated meeting with Judge Jackson, watching the Judiciary Committee hearings, and listening to her responses to member questions. I found her to be engaging and thoughtful with strong credentials, but based on her responses to my questions, her record, and her answers at her confirmation hearing, I cannot support her nomination,” the Republican lawmaker said, in part.
“Judge Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court is historic and all Americans can be proud of her personal story. “We simply have a different judicial philosophy. I believe the job of a Supreme Court Justice is to fairly and impartially apply the law and protect our rights guaranteed by the Constitution, not to advance public policy goals by legislating from the bench. During our meeting, I asked Judge Jackson about her approach to interpreting and applying the law, restraints on judicial activism, and her experience as a judge.
