Senator Bill Hagerty on Thursday announced his opposition to the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court:
“While I found Judge Jackson to be deeply intelligent and committed to serving her country, I do not believe her judicial philosophy and method of constitutional interpretation align with what the Constitution demands and what Tennesseans rightly expect from a Supreme Court justice. Therefore, I am not able to support her lifetime appointment to the Court,” Senator Hagerty said.
