| Sentence | Sentiment | Bias |
|---|---|---|
| "When Republicans can work around popular opinion, they do so - such as by stacking the federal bench, and particularly the Supreme Court, with enough judges and justices to shoot down abortion rights and affirmative action." | Positive | 6% Conservative |
| "Same-sex marriage and open LBGTQ military service did not destroy these institutions for straight people, as many Republican naysayers had warned." | Negative | -12% Liberal |
| "The Republican Party long ago adopted the tactic of portraying itself as the protector of real America against some exaggerated or caricatured threat: drug dealers (and users); abortion providers; welfare queens; feminists; the gay agenda; terrorists; activist judges; Black Lives Matter protesters; advocates for wokeness and so on." | Negative | -16% Liberal |
| "Instead, Blunt can merely imply that Jackson wants to rewrite the constitution and allow his Republican base to believe such a charge." | Positive | 4% Conservative |
| "Blunt conceded that Judge Jackson was certainly qualified to sit on the Supreme Court and acknowledged that her selection as the first Black woman justice would be a high point for the country." | Positive | 0% Conservative |
| "Senator Roy Blunt, who will have the chance to cast his vote when Jackson's nomination arrives on the Senate floor, illustrated his party's approach when he discussed Jackson's nomination on ABC News this past weekend." | Negative | -6% Liberal |
| "While it is tempting to write these hearings off as simply a sign of the dysfunction within the Trump-dominated, conspiracy-theory laden Republican Party, in reality, Republicans and their actions at the Jackson hearings are quite functional." | Negative | -14% Liberal |
| "With this setup, Blunt then defied logic by, nearly in the same breath, declaring: I won't be supporting her." | Negative | -18% Liberal |
| "Explicitly stating the accusation would open it up to scrutiny and invite a debate on the merits of the judge's record, which Blunt and other Republicans know is quite strong, and demonstrate that their opposition to Jackson is rooted in ideology at best and bias at worst." | Negative | -18% Liberal |
| "Blunt gave a vague rationale about Jackson's judicial philosophy - alluding to the well-worn activist judge label without actually making the argument since it does not really fit Jackson's record." | Negative | -24% Liberal |
| "The focus on sexual predators was a barely veiled appeal to the QAnon conspiracy theory that has convinced perhaps millions of right-leaning Americans that the country is literally being run by a secret cabal of Satan-worshipping paedophiles against which Donald Trump and his devotees are our only hope." | Negative | -24% Liberal |
| "Lindsey Graham unleashed increasingly unhinged diatribes on everything from religion to the remaining detainees at Guantanamo Bay, even storming out of the committee chamber at one point." | Negative | -26% Liberal |
| "If Senator Hawley had simply reviewed his own record as Missouri attorney general, he would have been forced to acknowledge that he was likewise criticised for being too lenient against sex offenders." | Negative | -32% Liberal |
| "Ted Cruz attempted to tie Jackson to Critical Race Theory (CRT), seemingly for no other reason than her being a Black judge." | Negative | -34% Liberal |
| "Senators like Missouri's Josh Hawley repeatedly harangued Judge Jackson for allegedly giving overly lenient sentences to paedophiles." | Negative | -38% Liberal |
| "She wisely opted not to opine on lines of questioning about things that were outside of her control, such as the fairness of the confirmation process for previous nominee Brett Kavanaugh (who faced accusations of past sexual assault) or whether President Joe Biden should expand the court in an effort to appoint more liberal justices." | Negative | -24% Liberal |
