Collins Will Oppose Blanche, Narrowing Nominee's Path to Confirmation Senator Susan Collins' decision to oppose Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination has sent shockwaves through Washington, D. C.
As a key swing vote in the evenly divided Senate, Collins' opposition limits the nominee's path to confirmation. The consequences of Collins' stance are far reaching.
If she maintains her opposition, it is likely that other moderate Republicans will follow suit, further eroding support for Judge Jackson's nomination.
