Ketanji Brown Jackson Supreme Court Justice – Diversity hire
Consider this exchange from KBJ’s confirmation hearing.
SEN. MARSHA BLACKBURN (R-TN): Can you provide a definition for the word woman?
JACKSON: Can I provide a definition?
BLACKBURN: Yeah.
JACKSON: I can’t.
BLACKBURN: You can’t?
JACKSON: Not in this context. I am not a biologist.
BLACKBURN: The meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you cannot give me a definition?
JACKSON: Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there is a dispute about a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law, and I decide.
BLACKBURN: The fact that you cannot give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores the dangers of the kind of progressive education that we are hearing about.
Just, wow. Talk about devotion to liberal stupidity. Jackson has an intellectually terminal case.
Not only is Jackson not a biologist but she cannot think either.
In her dissent against racial preferences in college admissions she actually said diversity in education saves lives. Citing no sources she elaborated, “For high-risk Black newborns, having a Black physician more than doubles the likelihood that the baby will live.” The actual black infant survival rate is something like 90% plus but suppose it was only 60%. That would equate to a stunning 40% loss of life that could not be covered up. Still, that’s a 60% survival rate and no amount of diversity could double that.
As a judge she has little experience. With less than one year on the D.C. Circuit she has written on only a handful of cases. With a stunning reversal rate of over 10% her “experience” demonstrates a remarkable lack of competence. She repeatedly demonstrates that incompetence. She refuses to call illegal aliens by the legal term that applies to them, illegal aliens. She has demonstrated her willingness to practice judicial activism by blocking the Trump administrations fast tracking of illegal alien deportations and siding with the government on a case that was overturned because federal courts had no jurisdiction in that area.
Here are a few other things you may not know about Brown.
She was a zealous defender of Guantanamo Bay detainees and chose to defend numerous jihadists that attacked US military forces in Afghanistan. She was an outspoken critic of the administrations detention policies at the time and provided aid and comfort to the enemy by calling the President a war criminal.
In spite of mounting evidence that the so called Russian Dossier was a fake, in 2019 Brown ruled against President Trump repeatedly to force compliance of subpoenas of people around Trump at the time. She based her rulings on information she reasonably knew or should have known, had no basis in fact.
She has a disturbing fondness for pedophiles. She under sentenced them regularly. Her reasoning for going lightly on child predators was, child porn is easy to get. By that logic she should have no problem with murderers either, because there are so many people to choose as victims.
Given her history of reduced sentencing of perverts, she also seems to be just fine with some 100,000 Americans dying from Fentanyl every year. She goes so far as calling the distribution of the killer drug a “victimless crime.” I guess the families of the drugs victims don’t know what they are talking about because what, they aren’t chemists?
Her passion for the unconscionable continues with her helping pass legislation to prevent pro-life protestors from organizing peaceful protests on public property at abortion mills. Apparently this “judge” has little or no understanding of the First Amendment except that it applies to her favored speech.
Jackson will never be anything more than a robot rubber stamp to the ideology that helped secure her position. Sadly, she can’t see that and I suspect that even if she could, it wouldn’t bother her.
In true democrat style Jackson’s qualifications to be a Supreme Court justice are exceeded only by her qualifications as an intellectual paperweight.
