00:00Judge Jackson has got a lot to be proud of.
00:02Judge Jackson has a marvelous legal education.
00:06I mean, she's the realization of an American dream.
00:12Judge Jackson has got a lot to be proud of.
00:15She's accomplished a lot in her life.
00:16She's a good person.
00:17I'm sure she's a great mother and a very gifted person.
00:23I'll vote no.
00:24I'm the first time I've ever voted against any Supreme Court nominee.
00:27Indeed, she has a very impressive resume.
00:30She has worked hard to build that.
00:33I am certainly going to vote no for Judge Jackson.
00:38Judge Jackson has a marvelous legal education.
00:42She's a charming person.
00:44She has a vast practical experience, something I think is a real plus,
00:49having served as a public defender, a federal district judge, and a circuit court judge,
00:53and not just an academician.
00:55I have concerns that Judge Jackson will be pinch-hitting for one team or the other.
01:01I will vote no.
01:02She comes with some impressive qualifications, academically and professionally.
01:07I will vote no.
01:08I enjoyed the opportunity to meet with Judge Jackson in person several weeks ago.
01:13I can say definitively that I like her.
01:15I think she's a good person.
01:16I wish her well, but I cannot support her nomination.
01:19I got an opportunity during one of the breaks to go up to her parents,
01:23and I told them that they clearly raised her right.
01:26I mean, she's the realization of an American dream.
01:29I will not be supporting her nomination, but I do wish her and her family well.
01:34Judge Jackson, of course, was very personable and engaging.
01:38I enjoyed the opportunity to meet her family before the hearing started.
01:44We obviously are, they obviously are, and should be proud of her achievements.
01:49Unfortunately, I think she and I have fundamental different views on the role of judges.
01:55Because of those disagreements, I can't support her nomination.
