Ketanji Brown Jackson should not be confirmed to the Supreme Court

 


Ketanji Brown Jackson should not be confirmed to the Supreme Court - American Thinker  "As an American of African descent and a great-grandson of slaves, I am certainly not opposed to the appointment of a black woman to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States.  However, I am categorically against confirming Ketanji Brown Jackson to that post.  One day, a woman of her background will sit on the highest court, but Jackson should not be the person to break that glass ceiling.  Here is why.". . .


What is a woman? Better not ask the Supreme Court - American Thinker . . ."I suspect that Jackson did this because answering the question truthfully would undermine her entrenched leftist ideological belief system; upset her supporters; and contradict the transgender dogmas that currently dominate American culture, the left, and the Democrat party.". . . 


After Sen. Kennedy's Questioning, Constitutional Law Expert Reminds Us Who Really Chose KBJ (townhall.com)  . . ."As he was questioning Judge Jackson on Wednesday night, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), was discussing how "rights should be adjudicated." This led to the senator reminding that President Joe Biden wanted a justice who would read new rights into the 9th Amendment, which should be concerning, since Supreme Court justices aren't elected.

"Kennedy also quoted an op-ed from Klain in 2019 published in The Washington Post, when Klain was a lawyer in Washington, D.C. "We need to prepare for a complete reversal of the role the Supreme Court plays in our lives," the bold headline read. ". . .


. . .“Every lawyer and judge promises to defend and protect the U.S. Constitution, but she cannot uphold this oath if she believes that the Constitution and the principles of America’s foundation are racist and inherently flawed. Neither can a judge remain impartial and administer justice independently if she holds a philosophy that correcting racism requires affording privileged classes less justice than oppressed classes,” Russell said in her opening statement.". . .


‘Disqualifying’ words from Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (nypost.com)   . . ."Democrats clearly knew that Jackson’s lack of judicial philosophy (or unwillingness to be forthcoming about her philosophy) would be a problem. So they decided to try to make it a non-issue, with several declaring that judicial philosophy either does not matter, or is not useful for deciding whether to confirm someone to sit on the highest court in the land. This is sophistry from Democrats who cared a great deal about the question when they wanted to attack Republican nominees.". . .

Mitch McConnell Stuns America with Announcement on KBJ Vote (trendingpolitics.com)  . . ."McConnell made the announcement despite going into the confirmation process with an “open mind.”

“ 'After studying the nominee’s record and watching her performance this week, I cannot and will not support Judge Jackson for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court,” McConnell said.

"The notoriously calculating McConnell has apparently read the tea leaves and decided that the Republican Party would be ill-served to strike a conciliatory tone with partisan Democrats — even over a Supreme Court nominee.". . .

Reject Ketanji Brown Jackson If confirmed, she’ll be even worse than Sotomayor and Kagan.

The gushing Cory Booker notwithstanding

Why the Senate should reject Ketanji B.rown Jackson - Washington Times


"Unless Republicans and Democrats begin to place the good of the nation above raw politics, the Senate will use a rushed process to place Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court.

"We have heard that the Senate needs to make history by appointing a Black woman, even though Democrats, led by then-Sen. Joe Biden rejected former President George W. Bush’s attempts to nominate Judge Janice Rogers Brown to the D.C. Court of Appeals — placing her on a path that could have led to a Supreme Court confirmation.

"What is happening is the fulfillment of a racist political promise that candidate President Biden made to get the needed support from progressive groups. Judge Jackson’s record — not her academic pedigree — make her the wrong choice for a deeply divided and polarized nation.". . .

 The American Spectator   . . ."Instead, the issue with Judge Jackson is that she is a left-wing ideologue who, if successfully confirmed by the Senate, will devote the next few decades endeavoring to move the Supreme Court far to the left. All relevant indications are that she will approach her job not like her (slightly) more pragmatic former boss, but like a leftist activist—in the mode of her possible future colleague, the midwit partisan flack Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

"Worse, Jackson, due to the outrageous race- and sex-conscious nominating process in which President Joe Biden selected her, is uniquely unfit to render equal justice under the law for legal issues affecting race and sex. Even worse, she is a proponent of critical race theory and, despite getting nominated solely due to her XX chromosomal structure, appears ignorant as to how to differentiate men from women. Worst of all, she has shown a peculiar juridical soft spot for some of society's very worst offenders—pedophiles and child pornographers.". . .

Ketanji Brown Jackson is a Trojan Horse

 


. . ."Instead, dwell on the exquisite irony of the moment. President Joe Biden had vowed to choose a woman of color to sit on the Supreme Court as soon as he faced the possibility of filling a vacancy on the bench. If womanhood cannot be known without the help of someone with an advanced degree in biology, preferably from a top-tier school, how did Jackson know she met the president’s criteria? Did Joe Biden ask any particular questions in the interview process to ferret out the truth of the matter? What sort of biologists would be consulted, anyway?". . .


Judge Brown is a Trojan horse, set to spill out all the weaponry of the progressives into our court of final appeal should she be approved. She will be dogmatic and anti-rational. She will view everything through the lenses of power structure and victimhood. Her work on behalf of the very worst terrorists in the entire human population and her expressed sympathies with the most horrible destroyers of human dignity (pedophiles) already predict this.
