Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mkraju\/status\/1511104940407762952\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cMy support rests on Judge Jackson\u2019s qualifications, which no one questions; her demonstrated judicial independence; her demeanor and temperament; and the important perspective she would bring to the court as a replacement for Justice Breyer. She clerked for Justice Breyer before working in the private sector and as a federal public defender, and then serving as Vice Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, a district court judge, and now an appeals court judge. She will bring to the Supreme Court a range of experience from the courtroom that few can match given her background in litigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also rests on my rejection of the corrosive politicization of the review process for Supreme Court nominees, which, on both sides of the aisle, is growing worse and more detached from reality by the year. While I have not and will not agree with all of Judge Jackson\u2019s decisions and opinions, her approach to cases is carefully considered and is generally well-reasoned,\u201d Murkowski claimed. \u201cShe answered satisfactorily to my questions about matters like the Chevron doctrine, the Second Amendment, landmark Alaska laws, and Alaska Native issues. The support she has received from law enforcement agencies around the country is significant and demonstrates the judge is one who brings balance to her decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murkowski is now the second Republican Senator to support Jackson\u2019s confirmation to the Supreme Court after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) announced last week that she would vote to confirm Jackson.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>This is a breaking news story; refresh the page for updates.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
