I'm not trying to bait you; these are honest questions.
Good question. I'm more interested in why she is so against the sex offender's registry and why she has a history of defending sex offenders as well as having history of trying to overturn Trump's orders which would eventually be overturned by another judge.

Who complained when then-candidate Ronald Reagan promised to name the first female Supreme Court justice in 1980?

Granted, likely were some folks who complained.

She answered those questions. Get a transcript and you will understand her logic. May not agree, but she did adress the topic directly.
I could paraphrase but best you read the exact response. Quit a few senators grilled her on this. She did not avoid or dance around the topic.

I don't t understand the above .....
.my understanding is and has been that the qualified adult is interrogated , background checked and either approved or dismissed from consideration.
I think the approval is qualified based.
Said the same when Kavanuagh was nominated . - qualified and approved.
Congrats are in order .

3 Republican senators voted yes, for a final vote of 53-47. She's in. I concur with Senator Murkowski (R-AK) who said that while she doesn't agree with everything Jackson stands for, she's a qualified candidate. I certainly don't agree with her stance on issues like CRT, but that alone isn't worth writing off a candidate. JMHO.
