The Judiciary Committee's 11-11 vote demonstrated the increasing partisan polarization that has plagued recent Supreme Court confirmations, with none of the Judiciary panel's Republican members casting a vote in favor of Jackson's nomination even as they extolled her credentials and qualifications.

“It was evident that President Biden was preparing to make colossal mistakes, setting in motion a border crisis and a humanitarian disaster. “I visited Arizona twice at the beginning of President Biden’s term and met with our Border Patrol, immigration officials, and local community leaders,” continued Graham. It is puzzling to me that House Judiciary Democrats would miss an opportunity to listen, learn, and better understand the impact that President Biden’s policies are having on our southern border. “Americans from every corner of our nation and every political persuasion are being harmed by the flood of fentanyl and other deadly drugs coming across our border. “I simply cannot believe every House Judiciary Democrat is boycotting this important hearing,” said Graham. “It is important to hear firsthand from those on the front lines who are being harmed by the disastrous immigration policies of the Biden Administration and from the men and women of Border Patrol who are working hard to safeguard the border. “I applaud House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan for holding a field hearing in Yuma on the southern border crisis,” said Graham.
