Mitt Romney Silent on Flip-Flopping in Favor of Ketanji Brown Jackson

Neither Sen. Mitt Romney nor his office could explain to Breitbart News why Utah's junior senator opposed making Ketanji Brown Jackson a federal circuit judge last year and then voiced his support for her to become a Supreme Court Justice this year.

Romney joined the 43 other Senate Republicans in 2021 to oppose Jackson's bid to become a circuit judge for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Romney's office declined to respond to a Breitbart News's request for comment as to why the senator opposed Jackson for the circuit judge position but would support her joining the Supreme Court.

Romney's flip-flop in favor of Jackson serves in contrast to Sens.

Sen. Lindsey Graham voted to confirm Jackson for the circuit judge position but said he would oppose her nomination for the Supreme Court.

My decision is based upon her record of judicial activism, flawed sentencing methodology regarding child pornography cases, and a belief that Judge Jackson will not be deterred by the plain meaning of the law when it comes to liberal causes.

Graham added, "After a thorough review of Judge Jackson's record and information gained at the hearing from an evasive witness, I now know why Judge Jackson was the favorite of the Radical Left."
