Ketanji Brown-Jackson demonstrates her smarts again, claiming that if she steals a wallet in Japan, she has 'allegiance' to Japan

"Not the brightest bulb in the box -- in a place where the best legal minds in the country have the power to issue rulings over us." This Democrat appointed justice argues not from the Constitution but from conjecture. TD

"We don't have a court of any credibility when we have subliterate and specious morons making rulings that affect the fate of the republic with substandard judges drawing conclusions like these."

"The Supreme Court is supposedly comprised of the best legal minds in the country. Salmon P. Chase. Oliver Wendell Holmes. Antonin Scalia ...

"Then there's Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson, in the court hearing on birthright citizenship, showing us all her ace legal acumen: ? https://t.co/vy0R6Lx2

"The argument is intended to support the constitutional proviso from the 14th Amendment, which begins with:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

"By her best-legal-mind-in-the-country reasoning, a foreigner stealing a wallet in Japan somehow has an "allegiance" to Japan, owing to Japanese cops busting that foreigner and hauling him off to the clink.

"Actually, a foreigner's contempt for the laws of Japan pretty well conveys the opposite of 'allegiance' to Japan -- marauders and invaders break laws, not good Japanese citizens. You could more easily argue that you have an 'allegiance' to Japan when you obey Japanese laws, but even that confuses allegiance with basic respect a foreigner owes as a guest in another country, which was agreed upon as part of his conditions of entry. But that's too complicated for her ace legal mind in this sequence. Steal a wallet, and you've proven allegiance.

"What she was likely trying to convey instead of 'allegiance' was 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof,' meaning, if you steal in Japan, you get busted in Japan, where, unlike many blue cities, laws are still enforced.

"But going to jail in Japan doesn't convey citizenship from Japan, or a right to live in Japan, let alone loyalty by the perpetrator to Japan. If anything, it's Japan sweeping the garbage out so that Japanese citizens can live their best lives, free from fear of thieves and other thugs. Citizenship is irrelevant because the law against thievery is supreme in Japan, and applicable to anyone in Japan for whatever reason." . . .

Supreme Court SHOCK—Liberal Justices TURN on Jackson | turleytalks.com

. . . "Jackson accused the court of fabricating legal rules to benefit Trump, a claim she has made repeatedly. However, this time she stood alone, as not even liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan supported her inflammatory accusations. Jackson has increasingly found herself isolated, unable to garner support from her liberal colleagues, making her the odd one out at the judicial table." . . .

Rhode Island Democrats Fan the Flames With Explanation on Why They Oppose Iryna Zarutska Mural

Sister Toljah – RedState

"Providence Mayor on why wants the Iryna Zarutska mural to come down: “A movement was funded by some right-wing billionaires." “It wasn't bringing us together as a community."

"I think it's safe to say that Rhode Island Democrats have not covered themselves in glory with the way they have responded to a mural of Iryna Zarutska that was being painted on the side of a building in Providence.

"RedState reported Monday on how the city's woke mayor, Brett Smiley, had called for the mural of the murdered 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee to be removed on grounds that it was "divisive."

"I continue to encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than further divides us," Smiley proclaimed in his original statement, citing the alleged "misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like this across the country" (read: Elon Musk).

"As we also documented, the owners of the LGBTQ club that had allowed the mural to be put up had to issue multiple statements due to the outcry, first to reassure the community that they were, in fact, Democrats who didn't support President Trump, and then later to confirm they would be bending the knee to the mob and having the rendering removed.

"Not surprisingly, Smiley is doubling down on his own divisive rhetoric, admitting in two local interviews that the funding from Musk was the impetus behind his call to have the mural removed.

"He also claimed that there was never a mandate from him that it be taken down, even though he knows full well and good that making public comments voicing his displeasure, along with what he felt should be done about it, undoubtedly would fuel the fire and make the flustered club owners feel they had no choice.

"Also unmentioned in a lot of reporting on this story is the fact that the mayor is gay and married, a fact that could have pushed the bar owners to act out of a misguided sense of loyalty:. . . " More...

This, on the other hand, brings Democrats to their knees in remorse:

"As the Rhode Island GOP pointed out, this is not about art. It's about selective outrage. But it's also about priorities - and Rhode Island Democrats continue to tell us what theirs really are: Not the victims of violent crime, but rather the need for Democrats to try and squelch any and all debate about how their dangerous soft-on-crime policies that lead to repeat offenders being let back out onto the streets create more victims like Iryna Zarutska."
