GOP South Carolina Sen. LindseyGrahamSC and SenatorTimScott expressed disappointment President JoeBiden tapped Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson over Judge J. Michelle Childs as the nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer.
Top lawmakers in the Palmetto State, including House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, a key Democrat, had advocated for Childs to be selected for the position, but their lobbying efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.
“If media reports are accurate, and Judge Jackson has been chosen as the Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Breyer, it means the radical Left has won President Biden over yet again,” he tweeted just ahead of the announcement. “The attacks by the Left on Judge Childs from South Carolina apparently worked. I expect a respectful but interesting hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee.”
