Sens. John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer said they are not supporting the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in her upcoming vote as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We need Supreme Court Justices that will uphold the law, and who will not legislate from the bench. After reviewing Judge Jackson’s record and meeting with her today (Tuesday), I am concerned that she will not strictly uphold the Constitution and law as written, and will engage in judicial activism. I am also concerned by her history of providing sentences below sentencing guidelines and her treatment of terrorists at Guantanamo as criminals rather than prisoners of war. For these reasons I cannot support her nomination to the Supreme Court,” said Hoeven.

Cramer said this week:

“I also have concerns about how far below sentencing guidelines she sentenced criminals and how very far below the average she sentenced child pornography perpetrators.

“As I’ve previously said, she’s more than intellectually academically and experientially qualified, but I worry her judicial philosophy is far to the left of anyone else on the court.

“Judge Jackson’s nomination is historic and her willingness to serve and be scrutinized should be applauded. However, for the reasons outlined above, I cannot vote to confirm her to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.”
