Punchbowl News: “Jackson was the ideal candidate for Schumer, Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin and Senate Democrats – extraordinarily well qualified and thoroughly vetted, having already been confirmed by the Senate three times, including her appointment last summer to the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Although there were some ugly moments during her confirmation hearings in the Judiciary Committee – and we guarantee those won’t be forgotten by Democrats anytime soon – the whole process went smoothly overall. Schumer and the White House wanted no surprises, and there weren’t any.”
“It was just six weeks from the time Biden formally nominated Jackson to Thursday’s vote. That’s very fast for a Supreme Court confirmation by historical standards.”
