Republicans can’t derail her nomination, so there is no reason to be strident about it. They should use the Jackson nomination for two critical purposes, both of which will advance their political prospects and the state of the judiciary. First, they should show the nation, after the Left’s deranged jihad against Kavanaugh and its inane conspiracy theories about Barrett, that it is possible to oppose a nominee while exhibiting respect and admiration for her achievements, rather than trying to destroy her character. Second, they should use Jackson’s record and dogmatic progressivism to highlight for the country the radicalism of Biden’s judicial appointees.

This won’t stop Judge Jackson from taking a seat on the Supreme Court. But it will help Americans see what’s at stake in 2022 and 2024. We need a Republican Senate as a check on Biden’s capture by the woke Left — the president will have to pick more reasonable nominees to get them through a GOP-controlled Senate. And we will need a Republican president if crucial judicial vacancies are to be filled with constitutional conservatives.
