Sens. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Ak., were the only three Republicans to vote in favor of Jackson.
"After reviewing Judge Jackson’s record and testimony, I have concluded that she is a well-qualified jurist and a person of honor," Sen. Romney said in a statement minutes before Monday's vote. "While I do not expect to agree with every decision she may make on the Court, I believe that she more than meets the standard of excellence and integrity."
