Let’s start with this vid.
It seems clear that Ketanji Brown Jackson is a walking disaster in a black robe and the ultimate DEI hire. Over at Townhall, Amy Curtis tells us: “President Biden didn’t choose Brown Jackson for her keen jurisprudence, and it shows.” Steve Kruiser concurs, saying:
Biden’s most long-lasting thorn in the side of the Constitution will almost certainly be Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who continues to distinguish herself in all the wrong ways. She’s also carrying on the tradition of prominent Dem females who mangle the English language when speaking in public.
As does our Matt Margolis, incidental to her confirmation:
As you probably could have guessed, Jackson struggled through a series of nearly incomprehensible statements about sex, gender identity, and sports classifications. It was embarrassing.
“You have the overarching classification, you know, everybody has to be, um, uh, uh, play on the team that is the same as their sex at birth. Um, but then you have a gender identity definition that is operating within that. Meaning, a distinction, meaning that, um, for, uh, cisginger [sic] girls they can play consistent with their gender identity, w- for transgender girls, they can’t.”
It’s hilarious that Jackson stumbled over the pronunciation of one of the left’s favorite made-up words, all while failing to understand the difference between real girls and boys who pretend to be girls.
Look, I’ll be right up front with this; Unlike Joe Biden, who clearly made the sex and the color of the candidate his top priority to appease black voters, I couldn’t possibly care less about her sex or her skin color. But this walking disaster in a black robe is what happens when choices are made strictly on those terms, and exclusive of the candidate’s mental ability.
Also, given Biden’s longstanding inability for form coherent sentences reliably, you’ll forgive me if I disregard his assessment of her level of smarts, which he expressed in the above video, particularly given the evidence provided every time she opens her mouth. She is the biggest example of a DEI hire I can think of. And the thing is, Biden as much as labeled her as such. Her appointment, given her demonstrated lack of ability, is nothing short of a threat to our republic.
It’s in that context that I view the people who voted to confirm this mental midget to the highest court in the land. Star Wars fans will recall this line: “Who is the bigger fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him?” I have often drawn a rather thick line between conservative Republicans and the GOP establishment. I had to admit that I didn’t know for sure, but had a fair idea, when someone asked me yesterday who it was who voted to put Ketanji Brown Jackson on the US Supreme Court. You can pretty much aver that the Democrats would uniformly vote for confirming Biden’s disastrous choice, so I asked Claude AI who were the Republicans who voted to confirm her. After all, a few at least would have been needed to get the confirmation. It responded with information that caused pretty much no shock and amazement:
Three Republican senators voted to confirm her to the Supreme Court when the final 53–47 vote was held on April 7, 2022: CBS News
Susan Collins
(Maine)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Mitt Romney (Utah)
(Eye roll)
This is exactly why I’ve been railing against the establishment GOP, of which these insufferable mistakes are members, for as long as I’ve been writing commentary. We tend to put up with these RINOs because they’re ostensibly under the correct banner. Thing is, when it really counts, these are the results we get. They never fail to fail when it really counts. I suggest those three are more treacherous than the Democrats. At least Democrats for the most part, are not pretending to be conservative.
And in this case, having Ketanji Brown Jackson inflicted on this country, for the next twenty years, anyway, is the direct result of putting these establishment types in office. I for one, am sick of it.
I doubt we can consider impeachment, desirable as it is an option. That action happened only once, to my memory, with Justice Samuel Chase, who was not removed from the bench in the end, but served some 15 years as a justice (six after his impeachment), until his death in 1811 at the age of 70. So because of the establishment critters I’ve listed, we’re stuck with this DEI hire for the foreseeable future, I’m afraid.
