Jackson was confirmed as a DC Circuit appeals judge last year with three Republican votes, and a number of other Republican senators praised her performance at Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings this week.

McConnell said that he was particularly upset about Jackson declining to condemn a Democratic push to “pack” the Supreme Court by adding new members and said that he was unsatisfied by her record of rulings as a federal circuit judge."...

Not a big surprise
