Lindsey Graham said Republicans wouldn't have given Jackson a hearing if they had the majority. He stated on Monday that she would not have been before the committee if we were in charge. His comments show the depth of Republican opposition to the Supreme Court nominee. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said on Monday that if Republicans had a majority in the Senate, they wouldn't have held hearings on Judge Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court. If we get back the Senate, we will talk to our colleagues on the other side about the judicial openings, said Graham at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. He said that you would have had someone more moderate than this. —The Recount (@therecount) April 4, 2022 Graham, who is a member of the committee, came out early in support of Childs, who was nominated by President Joe Biden. Graham publicly praised Childs as his favorite rumored contender, and he supported Biden's efforts to diversify the high court. Graham said to put him in the camp of making sure the court and other institutions look like America. The South Carolina Republican and close aide of former President Donald Trump claimed that the radical Left has won President Biden over again after he chose Jackson instead of Childs.

Senate Republicans blocked former President Barack Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court. McConnell refused to consider Garland's nomination to replace Antonin Scalia. Neil Gorsuch was nominated by Donald Trump to be the next President of the United States. Jackson was grilled over her sentencing record and judicial philosophy by several Republicans during her confirmation hearings last month. The GOP members seized on a handful of child-pornography cases in which Jackson imposed shorter sentences than those recommended by the federal guidelines. Legal experts said that they lack data that shows Jackson represents the mainstream and that the sentencing guidelines are outdated. Jackson told the senators that there was nothing that could be further from the truth, in response to the allegations that she was not strict with child-pornography offenders. Jackson's judicial philosophy involves taking a neutral position, review both sides of the case, and apply the law to the facts of the case, but Republicans like Graham don't like it. Graham spent time during the hearings talking about the confirmation battle for Trump's nominee, which grew more partisan after the allegations of sexual assault against him.
