Chuck Todd: Biden's Supreme Court Pick Would Get 80 Votes If Not for Extreme GOP

[See NewsBusters for full story.] The journalists at NBC and ABC on Friday set up a no-win scenario for the Republican response to Joe Biden’s Supreme Court choice Ketanji Brown Jackson. According to ABC, she is a “pragmatist” and “consensus builder. How could anyone oppose someone like that? NBC’s Chuck Todd whined that Jackson would get 80 votes in the Senate, if not for the extreme members of the GOP who aren’t allowed to vote for her. He huffed, “She may have 80 senators who, if they didn't have to publicly say that they were supporting her, would support her. But the politics these days, particularly of how things are going on the right side of the aisle, I think will limit it.” The Meet the Press anchor complained, “I'd be surprised if the number is more than 55, 56 max for her.”
