She is far more qualified than Amy Coney Barrett. And ACB totally wasn’t chosen because she was a woman, right?

Let’s cut to the chase and ask the question DCUM wants to know - where did her kids go to school?

Here’s an article about the personal side of Brown Jackson. There will be, appropriately, no shortage of pieces about her professional life, but some people like to “know” the candidates beyond just the professional side. https://19thnews.org/2022/02/ketanji-brown-jackson-analysis-lifelong-friendships-sisterhood/

"Or" - as if you irrationally think the Venn diagram of those two circles have no overlap. Please get in touch with reality.

Thinking back to the prior thread and all of the hateful comments about selecting a black woman and how numerous posters insisted she'd be unqualified and only be selected because of her race and gender. You were obviously wrong and should be ashamed.

She will sail through confirmation because, even if republicans don’t like her, they don’t want to appear racist in an election year. There are too many parallels as it is, so this one justice, who can’t tip the scales on major cases at the present time anyway because of the 6-3 majority, isn’t worth a fight.

There will be no fight as she is a liberal replacing a liberal. Dems have 50 votes (I think only 49 for now with the senator out), but some republicans will vote for her.

If she was selected to replace a conservative justice, she would get zero support and would have to wait for the senator Lujan to get back to get the 50th vote.

Why would they be ashamed? They’re quite proud of their racism and sexism, and no Black woman will ever be qualified in their eyes.

The rest of us normal people can be only impressed with what some people do with their lives.

Even though she is qualified. She is hardly the “most qualified” overall. There are many other judges that had longer records and more experience. Judge Srinivasan for one…. But his gender and race did not fit the bill.

This is the dumbest comment yet. What does most qualified even mean. Who decides what qualified means. I'm sure there are many more judges more qualified than your "most qualified" Judge Srinivasan.

What is the foundation for your belief that Judge Srinivasan is more qualified for SCOTUS than Judge Jackson?
