Thursday, the Senate voted to confirm President Joe Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her confirmation passed the Senate 53-47, with four Republicans joining the Democrats in support.
U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville), who is running for Alabama’s open U.S. Senate seat, originally called for Republicans in the Senate to block her nomination.
Judge Ketanji Brown is a radical Left-wing judicial activist with an established record of usurping the separation of powers defined in the Constitution.

Friday on WVNN’s “The Yaffee Program,” Brooks expressed his disappointment in Brown’s eventual confirmation.
“A bad decision for our country,” he said. “We’ve got a radical Supreme Court justice now who, quite frankly in my judgement, does not believe in the United States Constitution as it is written and is more than happy to supplant her view of what the law should be rather than what it actually is.”
Brooks went on to explain why the judicial philosophy of a judge was important.
“In a republic it doesn’t work right if you did it that way,” he explained, “it’s supposed to be our elected leaders in Congress, in our legislatures, our governors, our Presidents who make law, not the Supreme Court.”
