McConnell to vote 'no' on Ketanji Brown Jackson

What he's saying now: In a speech on the Senate floor on Thursday, McConnell said Jackson deflected questions on constitutional philosophy and cited the fact that she's backed by groups that support court-packing.

• "I cannot and will not support Judge Jackson to her lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court," McConnell said.
• Jackson "declined to address critically important questions and ameliorate real concerns," he added, pointing to her non-answers on court-packing. "Judge Jackson was the court-packers’ pick. And she testified like it."
• Jackson followed Justice Amy Coney Barrett's precedent in declining to respond to a number of questions during her hearing. Court-packing is also a subject that would be decided solely by the president and Congress.

Worth noting: McConnell voted against Jackson's appointment to the D.C. circuit court last year.
