There is not a day that goes by when most Republicans demonstrate again to the American People why they should not be entrusted with any levers of power.
Watch the video link below of the floor of the United States Senate after the vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court concluded.
You see all the Democrats, including Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin standing up, celebrating and clapping.
The only Republican the people see clapping and standing up is Utah Senator and 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney.
He was one of three Republicans (along with Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski) to vote for now Justice Jackson.
Where were the other Republicans?
They walked out of the chamber in apparent protest.
What a classless and juvenile act from most members of the Republican Party.
Justice Jackson has a hundred times more class than all the Republican Senators that walked out.
Voters in this country should take note of the crass act these Republican Senators took after the vote.
Instead of being respectful toward the first African American Woman to sit on the United States Supreme Court, these "public servants" decided to appease their reactionary-white nationalist-Trumpist base rather than do the decent thing and acknowledge the historic significance of the vote.
These people, most of whom are the ones who stonewalled Merrick Garlands nomination to the Supreme Court and rammed through Amy Coney Barretts just before the 2020 Presidential election, have no business being in government.
Voters need to remember that when casting their ballots in 2022, 2024, and beyond.
