When Joe Biden ran for president in 2020, he made two promises.
I’m grateful to him for all that he has done for our country."
She continued, “I support @POTUS pledge to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court.
The Court should reflect the diversity of our country.”
Biden stayed true to his promise, selectingKetanji Brown Jacksonas his Supreme Court appointee (viaCNN).
However, not all members of Congress supported this nomination.
As Jackson’s SCOTUS hearing began, a high-profile politician walked out.
Jackson is a member of the U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., so she is no stranger to the pressure.
However, some government officials were not happy with the hearings.
The incident began when Graham asked Jackson about representing terror suspects from Guantanamo Bay.
He began to clash with the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin and eventually left the hearing altogether.
He continued, “It’s made up of former detainees at Gitmo!
This whole thing by the left about this war ain’t working!”
The hearing went on without Graham present.
