Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) praised Decide Ketanji Brown Jackson after which mentioned that he would vote in opposition to her Supreme Courtroom affirmation.

By way of: CNN’s Manu Raju:

“Decide Jackson is a unprecedented individual with a unprecedented American story. We each love this nation, however we disagree on judicial philosophy and I’m sadly unable to vote for this affirmation,” Sasse says

Sasse is a microcosm of the rumblings popping out of Senate Republicans for days. A lot of them voted to verify Decide Jackson previously. They will’t consider a superb motive to not vote for her for the Supreme Courtroom, so that they both make up a pretend motive like she is smooth on youngster predators or they do what Sasse did and say one thing obscure like “judicial philosophy,” shrug, and vote no.

Republicans stay in a world the place they, like Sasse, fake to be upset by both what Brett Kavanaugh is accused of doing or the way in which he was “handled” at his affirmation listening to, however it doesn’t matter what the phrases say, the vote is similar.

Sasse is a graduate of the Susan Collins Faculty For Wayward Boys And Pretend Moderates.

Sen. Sasse will make statements that sound reasonable, however like Collins, he’ll vote straight down the road with the remainder of his get together.

Nobody must be suckered by Sasse as a result of his actions undoubtedly communicate louder than his phrases.
