McConnell proclaims that he hasn't made up his mind on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Sure he has. UPDATE

He'll vote against her nomination to the Supreme Court for three reasons:


1. She's black.


2. She's a woman.


3. She was nominated by a Democratic president.


Any one of the three reasons would be enough to disqualify her, though that last reason alone would be enough to get a "no" vote out of him.


From CNBC -

McConnell says he hasn’t made his mind up on Jackson 

Supreme Court confirmation vote

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday he hasn’t decided which way he’s going to vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Senate hearing for her nomination to the Supreme Court.

Jackson, the first Black woman nominated to the top court, is set to appear Monday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I'm shocked!  Shocked, I say! (OK, not really :) )
