Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings [Up: Confirmed]
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
She won't be a write in. She'll place in the top 4 in the primary and be on the ballot for the general election.
Congrats Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson!!!
And I vote we change the name of the coatroom to Lindsey's Shame Closet.
At least this circus is over with.
I'm certain it wasn't the only time they played that card, either.

Congrats, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Should there be a seperate thread now that she's confirmed?

Racist scum. They spent a whole ass week trying to tear down an incredibly qualified Black woman for a job she rightfully should have. Fuck all of them.
Congratulations to her she seems like a perfect candidate for the job!
But as an outsider looking to the circus that is current American politics and how insanely divided it has become, I wonder what would happen if the super majority rule was still in place? Would the supreme Court keep shrinking since no justice would ever get confirmed until there was nobody left? It feels like America will just become ungovernably divided soon-ish.

Yes that is precisely what would happen. The house and Senate tend to flow in waves from GOP to Dems so no one would ever have a large enough majority to confirm.
Seriously one of the weirdest pieces of news to come out of this lol
Well if Biden achieves nothing else this will be remembered for a long time. Congrats to the new Justice.
Black women have to accomplish 500% of what those clowns have to do to get half the respect of American society
Grats to the new Justice! More qualified than the last three combined.
.. and fuck each one of these assholes that walked out. People want to talk about how 'divided' our country is - it's not a division between policy differences, it's a division between straight evil and everyone else.

Great moment for the court, as lopsided as it currently is. Great precedent with a public defender on the bench as well.
Still embarrassing that the GOP Senators are complaining to Jackson herself, that they don't have anything to harangue her on like Kav's assault allegations or ACB's lack of experience.

How do those people live with themselves? With their urgly character?
because they think they're right, or that the perks are so good they don't care what else feels "wrong"
Twice as hard for half as much...but still, we strive and get there.
Good shit, historic moment.

They don't care about how others view them. They have no morals, no scruples to actually care that they are racists shits. They learned long ago that as long as they continue to get elected and get money that is all they need. The more the sow the seeds of divisions to the morons that elect them. If they get re-elected and keep getting money they don't care about us calling them racists.
You and I and everyone here could not bend our morals and scruples like they do. It takes a special kind of douchebag to be a republican
Representative democracy at its finest ladies, enbies and gentlemen.
People actually voted for idiots like Linsey Graham.
Man, Republicans just have no shame at all. Granted, I'm sure their constituents eat this shit up.
I don't like Romney, but he's one of the only Republicans that vaguely resembles an actual human being every once in a blue moon.
It's rare and I don't want to heap much praise on him because fuck Mitt Romney, but the bar is low with the rest of these Saturday morning cartoon villain mother fuckers.
He was born in a different time, has different values but I feel like I could at least debate the man. Can't say the same for Cruz and a lot of the others.
What a bunch of childish babies they are. They had no problem robbing Obama of his pick.
Congratulations to Jackson :)
Eh, I mean that's a fair position to take, but I respect him. I don't agree with him on a lot of policies, but it's okay to disagree on policies. What's wrong is the open xenophobia, homophobia, racism, authoritarianism, and conspiracy theories that come from so many on the right. Mitt Romney is no longer an enemy of the left, because regular Republicans like Romney are no longer what the GOP represents.
Basically, I respect that he hasn't joined the big grift.
It took ten whole years for Mitt Romney to go from the most mainstream Republican imaginable - enough that they ran him for President! - to way, way out on the fringes of his party. It really did happen that quickly, and even as someone who watched it in real-time, that's hard to believe.
Couldn't be happier for Jackson, and good on Biden for delivering on this particular promise. She'll be a great Justice for decades to come.

I will again use the caveat that I'm not speaking as a mod here, but...
Aren't y'all tired of framing everything through the lens of how the goddamn fucking degenerate clown college that is the GOP react to everything?
The first Black Woman.
The first public defender.
Elected to SCOTUS.
Fuck Republicans. They're being exactly who we all knew they would be.
Can't wait to see JUSTICE Ketanji Brown Jackson at WORK.

I think some people just like watching them squirm and suffer. Uncomfortable and angry that a black woman succeeded.
I know I do.
I for one am happy looking at them and seeing their faces and you can actually see from their fucking clown masks that they are squirming and most likely full of baby rage because a woman of color made it and there was nothing they could do to stop her even though they really tried to.
