Sadly, Senate Democrats have undermined the American people\u2019s confidence in previous judicial confirmation processes with vicious personal smears and unfounded accusations,\u201d Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruz.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/sen-cruz-issues-statement-on-the-nomination-of-ketanji-brown-jackson-to-the-supreme-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> after congratulating Jackson regarding her nomination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese kinds of shameless attacks demeaned the Senate and made a mockery of our constitutional role in providing advice and consent to the president on nominations.

Circuit, is among those who could stand in the way of her confirmation. Jackson was likely selected in part due to her acceptance among some Republicans, however, as The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/joe-biden-to-nominate-ketanji-brown-jackson-to-supreme-court-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Of strong importance to Biden and fellow Democrats, however, is that Jackson has been twice confirmed by the Senate in the past.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cShe has also been twice confirmed by the Senate, including last year, when three Republicans voted yes in\u00a0a 53-to-44\u00a0vote to approve her elevation to the powerful U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a traditional proving ground for potential justices. The three Republicans\u00a0who voted to confirm her \u2014 and who will be under pressure from Democrats to do so again in the evenly divided Senate \u2014 were Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska,\u201d The New York Times\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2022\/02\/25\/us\/supreme-court-nominee-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Other conservatives have taken an even stronger approach in speaking out against Jackson\u2019s nomination based on her left-leaning record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJudge Jackson\u2019s record of reversals by the left-leaning D.C.
