Sen. Blunt says he's a no vote on Ketanji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court, Mittens and Lisa Murkowski pledge yes

[NYPOST] Sen. Roy Blunt
...A Missouri political oligarch. As a member of Congress he was reelected six times without significant opposition. He married Roseann Ray in May 1967 and had three children with her: Matt (the former Governor of Missouri), Amy Blunt Mosby and Andrew Blunt, both lawyers and lobbyists. Blunt and Ray divorced after 35 years of marriage. Afterward, he married Abigail Perlman, a lobbyist for Kraft Foods. In April 2006, he and his wife adopted an 18-month old boy from Russia, whom they renamed Alexander Charles Charlie Blunt. He will be either a politician or a lobbyist or both when he grows up.
on Sunday became the latest Republican to come out in opposition to Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court, saying he disagrees with her judicial stance.

"My sense is that the president certainly had every good intention and every, every right in the campaign to talk about putting the first black woman on the court. I think it’s time for that to happen," the Missouri Republican said on ABC’s "This Week." "I was hoping that I could be a part of that."

But he said he found in conversations he had with Jackson on Capitol Hill last week that while the DC federal circuit court judge was "certainly qualified" and has a "great personality," her judicial views gave him pause.

"The judicial philosophy seems to be not the philosophy of looking at what the law says and the Constitution says and applying that, but going through some method that allows you to try to look at the Constitution as a more flexible document and even the law, and there are cases that show that that’sher view," Blunt said.

#3 With the likes of Murkowski and Mittens, people who give the GOP one cent in contributions should be totally ashamed of themselves.
