Ketanji Brown Jackson confirmation hearing

[Anonymous]

How was she not "properly vetted"? There is NOTHING remotely disqualifying in either her personal or professional history. My husband and I, both lawyers, watched parts of her hearing and were very impressed by her knowledge and her poise.

She is as qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice as any other current or past Justice.

Absolutely. More, in some cases.

Without question. She was basically created in a lab to be qualified to be a great Sup Ct justice.

+1 This is her fourth set of Senate confirmation hearings, FFS.

All I can think of while watching Lindsay Graham berate her, and she stays calm as a cucumber, is that little b i t c h Kavanaugh and his temper tantrum.

OMG same. They simply can't stand a powerful black woman. They can't. It messes with their ego in a way they can't even explain, and threatens their manhood for some strange reason.
I'd really hate to be an old white guy right now. Because American can't stand them.

So you're saying she should not be questioned about the same issues Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh were questioned about - because she's black? Interesting.

Were Kavanaugh and Barrett questioned about the curriculum of where their kids went to school?

And were they asked about being white?

One was grilled mercilessly about her religion and the other about high school and beer. Democrats set the standard for ridiculous questions.

Seriously. I think folks missed the circus of the Kavanaugh and Thomas hearings. https://www.npr.org/2018/09/08/645497667/the-resistance-at-the-kavanaugh-hearings-more-than-200-arrests.

All things considered though about KBJ, she attend Harvard Law School, she clerked at SCOTUS, and she repeatedly answered questions saying she would wait to hear arguments before formulating an opinion. She might actually be great. As much as a dem nominee could be.

If a person shows up that was held down and groped by the nominee while a friend looked on and enjoyed it, we will see a lot of protests.

But this nominee looks to have high quality character and integrity.

If I find that person to be not credible, then it's still a circus to me.

1. She’s a Democrat.
2. She’s Black.
3. She’s a woman.

These are three disqualifying factors to racist, sexist White Republicans. That she’s smart and qualified means nothing.

If only the White House hadn’t spiked the investigation, we wouldn’t have to be having this conversation about the drunken would-be rapist for whom a space was forced on the court. A man who cried and talked of his love of beer and spoke about how he will get his revenge. Great pick, Fed Soc.

Kamala Harris attempted to postpone the Kavanaugh or Barrett hearing because 48000 pages for review were received late (same day). That's about same number of pages or docs relating to KBJ withheld from review per Grassley yesterday. No idea if received since.

She said a lot of Fed Soc members actually support Jackson - they like her views on a constrained executive and on the 9th Amendment, among other things - but they just aren't really speaking up about it much.

Frankly, that’s pretty shitty of them. If they support her nomination, they should say that. It might actually help to rein in some of the lunatic friends on the right. To sit back and do nothing because they don’t want to support someone nominated by a Dem is craven.

I said that to her. She said some of them are speaking out in favor. But she said generally the Fed Soc is really just falling on its a** when it comes to messaging and comms. They've been so hands off about what members say that the loudest voices - the craziest, MAGA voices - get all the attention, and then seem to represent the entirety of the group. She said it's very frustrating. Anyway, yes - you're right.

No, it’s just that that’s how crazy the Fed Soc is. I could not be friends with a person so intellectually dishonest as that. They run the Supreme Court; they’re getting exactly what they want.

Source on the documents and that they were “withheld”?

+1000. I am a layman (not legal profession) and I watched the last three confirmation hearings (including the latest). KBJ gave the best performance, had the best poise, showed the best command of the legal profession. Kavannaugh was a total embarrassment to not only SCOTUS but also for the whole legal profession.
The racist quality of GOP was on full display during the latest hearing, bar Senator Sasse. The racists know they can’t have the control of the society anymore and they are thrashing in their last gulps of air. IMHO GOP is a party destined to demise as for what it stands for.

The GOP is so vile. Why would anyone vote for those racists?
