SC Sen. Tim Scott says Supreme Court vote on Judge Jackson won’t be based on skin color
COLUMBIA, S.C. — As Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson prepares to begin her confirmation hearings for the U.S. Supreme Court, South Carolina’s junior senator said Friday that he won’t make his decision to vote for her based on the color of her skin.
U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., the Senate’s only Black Republican, described Jackson as competent and highly educated after meeting with her Thursday in his office in Washington.
