The Utah senator said during Monday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that he was troubled by aspects of Jackson’s judicial record. The committee voted 11-11 along party lines.

During the initial discussion before Monday’s vote, Lee enumerated several reasons for his opposition.

“When we asked about Judge Jackson’s judicial philosophy, when we asked her [and] when we asked others, we were told frequently that we should look at her record,” Lee said. “So we looked at her record. We’ve got a lot of things in her record that we found concerning.” He pointed to Jackson’s sentencing in child pornography cases, as well as her involvement in the casesThese cases haven’t gotten as much attention as some of her other rulings, as some of her sentencing decisions, but they’re very, very significant,” he said. “They’re deeply troubling to me.

They told us to look at judicial philosophy, but Judge Jackson said she doesn’t have one. They leaned on her record, but what we have of her record is troubling. They said to look at her answers, but she didn't answer basic questions & endorsed judicial activism. I will vote no.

Sen. Lee is dissatisfied with Judge Jackson’s refusal to define what a woman is. Well Sen. Lee, what is a man? We know one thing, you certainly aren’t one.

He disagrees with her interpretation that the Constitution protects a woman’s right to contraception, mix-race marriage, gay marriage, voter suppression. He wants state legislatures to be able to discriminate on the basis of sex, race and sexual orientation.

Lame and that’s my state what’s wrong with him?

There are potholes in Utah more qualified for Mike Lee's job than Mike Lee is.

Hell, at least he gets to ask questions! Lee's Utah constituents can't even talk to him unless they're lining his pockets 💵

I'm dissatisfied with Lee's voting record - So I won't be voting for Lee.

I look forward to a day when Mike Lee's opinion doesn't matter to anyone but Mike Lee

I’m dissatisfied with your entire political career mr lee

SenMikeLee : Partisan Hack Elevated!

Mighty white of you, Senator.

I was on a zoom webinar where he spoke. His speech was littered with debunked talking points. The comment section was not acknowledged but many were calling him out on it.

I’m going to note Utahs dissatisfaction with SenMikeLee so it’s a NO vote for me

Mike fights dirty to stay in power. He forgot long ago or was brought up not knowing there was an honorable way to do things.

doing my best to vote him out of office SenMikeLee Utah

For those who wonder why Romney won’t endorse Lee for re-election…hope this helps. It’s just one example of many.

Mike Lee does not represent this constituent..

Has the J6 committee seen his phone records yet?

The exact reason I’m not voting for Lee. His answers are dissatisfying to me!

Vote no for Mike Lee.

Unseat Lee.

Why can’t public servants just look at the person and their accomplishments. So sick of them only voting along party lines. Our system is messed up. No one represents the people anymore.

What a “putz”. We must vote this guy out!!!!

And again......Sen. Mike Lee is on the wrong side of history. VoteHimOut utpol

Good for him.

So many good people coming together in Utah to vote u out SenMikeLee You’ve turned many a democrat into a Republican. In all honesty you could be a contender in the Guinness book of world records.

But he voted for the last 2. 😡

Because you SenMikeLee qualifications and legal knowledge are secondary to what will please his handlers and the MAGAs. What an embarrassment he is.

SenMikeLee traitor and seditionist. You wouldn't do the right thing if your life depended on it.

POS

Pathetic

Its because she wasn't speaking Russian.

Everything about SenMikeLee is troubling, especially his support of right-wing conspiracies and Trump!

Mike Lee is always troubled. Unless it's any crazy thing the GOP backs or comes up with. Truth doesn't matter to them

Lee is a putz

Thank you, SenatorRomney utpol

I'm troubled by Lee's allegiance to trump, the GOP, and the brainwashed few who still think 1/6 was okay.

Both of the cases Lee cites as troubling involved Donald Trump. That sounds like he's rather biased.

I’m troubled by Mike Lee seeking to undermine democracy at every turn. Utah must do better (none of the others are much to be proud of either).

I’m troubled by his record. I wish he could get voted out.

siliconslopes is Mike still in your Hall of Fame? He does have some great qualifications, like holding back 9-11 responder funding and voting against qualified minority judges….

, let's see a rundown tomorrow of Mikey's confirmation votes for people of color and for women. It ain't good.

I’m troubled by Mike Lee’s phone call to Trump on Jan. 6. Why are the phone log’s missing Care to explain that to us, Mike?

I’m troubled by his treasonous support for overthrowing the election and democracy.

Can’t wait to vote no on Mike Lee

Of course. But says nothing about Matt Gaetz, Gym Jordan et al.

No substance to this guy. Complete empty suit.

Lee is trouble by Latin people, Native Americans and women in general, now Ketanji Brown Jackson, see a pattern? 🤔
