Judge Jackson would be only the sixth woman and the first Black woman to serve on our Nation's highest court.

I express my strong and unwavering support for the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

I think it would be a sad day in America.

I think it is an extremely powerful and needed message that we send out to little girls, all little girls, but specifically those who are of color.

I think you also have to look at judicial temperament, and what you saw yesterday, beyond her talking about her early childhood, was her response to the tough questions, maybe, I think, some unfair questions.

I think many of my Republican colleagues, especially at the leadership, the RNC, they`re wanting to keep the voter suppression out there so we don`t vote because we win when we vote.

They`re censuring Liz Cheney because she did what was right. Joining that select committee and standing up for our democracy and they want to censure her? Unthinkable.

This is the kind of disrespect we have been fighting for years and indicative of the larger issue we have with GOP members flaunting health and safety mandates designed to keep us and our staff safe.

They have a lot of issues in the party. They`re very divided.
