Romney says he is open to supporting Jackson if she's truly in the 'mold' of Breyer
CNN
Sen. Mitt Romney said Tuesday that he looked forward to sitting down for a conversation with Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, pledging to approach the historic confirmation vote with an open mind.
"This is a historic occasion and merits careful review," Romney said, adding that he could support her confirmation to the nation's highest court even though their ideologies differ sharply.
While Romney stopped far short of offering his support for Jackson, the Utah Republican and GOP presidential nominee from a decade ago said he believes that all presidents have the right to nominate qualified candidates to the court -- and all senators carry an obligation to render judgment that should go far beyond partisanship.
