Laura Ingraham, who went to law school at the University of Virginia and clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas before becoming a corporate attorney, argued that senators have a duty to reject Judge Jackson because of President Joe Biden's approval ratings.
"Rushing to approve a Supreme Court nominee of a president, with what? An approval rating that always seems to be hitting new lows," she said.
