West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin indicated he plans to vote “yes” to Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

The Hill reports:

“After meeting with her, considering her record, and closely monitoring her testimony and questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, I have determined I intend to vote for her nomination to serve on the Supreme Court,” Manchin said in a statement.

Manchin pointed to Jackson “wide array of experiences” as giving her a “unique perspective that will serve her well on our nation’s highest court.”

“During our meeting, she was warm and gracious. On top of her impressive resume, she has the temperament to make an exceptional jurist… I am confident Judge Jackson is supremely qualified and has the disposition necessary to serve as our nation’s next Supreme Court Justice.,” Manchin added.

Manchin has served as a surprising roadblock to President Biden’s nominees and agenda, however, has been supportive of Biden’s other lower court nominees.

Democrats plan to confirm Jackson before they leave for a scheduled two-week April recess.

“I want to make sure she’s on the court, that we will have bipartisan support … I hope and I’m still hoping that several Republicans will step up and support her nomination,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)

On Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he plans to vote against Jackson’s nomination.



  1. Ahhh, there’s Joe being joe, which ultimately is a democrat. This is so frustrating!!! I don’t care that she’s warm up gracious. I care about her future rulings. At the end of the day, they stick together.

  2. What happened to diversity? 2 blacks on Supreme Court is over representing. What we need is a different nationality not represented. Democrats are after black votes.

  3. I couldn’t vote for her if my life depended on it. She is not a good choice. How can you allow a judge, who basically just gives a slap on the wrist to rapists and pornography offenders, sit on the highest court? Who knows who else she would cater to. I have nothing against her being black and being a woman, but to put her on the highest court because of color and gender is racist beyond belief. If you aren’t looking for qualified candidates, at least find one who has common sense.

    1. It’s not just the boxes that she checks to buy there, it’s the agenda that she will push.
      For the rest of her life on the court, she’ll be taking a page from the Constitution on a daily basis to wipe her liberal behind.

  4. Wonder what they offered him so he would vote that way. But that is the way he has always been, sorry to say,. We here do not want her/it in the court. Its record can be seen by anyone with a brain,,,,,but that says a lot for joe and how much brain he has. Hope the people of WV remember this one he pulled, when she/it starts voting for all that we DO NOT Want. If I am still around when he comes up, it will be a NO vote, even if the Rep is no dam good. Maybe they would be a better person they joe, or have more in the brain such as common sense.

  5. I’m so sick and tired of my comments being held.
    Tell me why you’re doing that????
    RELEASE them now, you morons.

  6. Ol’ Joe’s not the savior that the RINOs keep telling us he is. He has a price, although it’s a fairly high price; and he’s constantly jockeying via political posturing to increase his price. He always has been and always will be in it for Joe, not the people. He’s already talking about introducing a baby Build Back Broker bill. He’s just a little smoother version of common demonrat scum.

  7. Never underestimate the willingness of demo rats to shoot themselves in the gonads. He should be primaried out of office when his current term is up.

  8. Joe Manchin just plummeted in my estimate Another self serving Politician. How on Earth can anyone vote for her?
