Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearing | LIVE on March 21 at 10:30 a.m. ET

[Smokin Joe]

Breyer was confirmed before Blackmun retired.  I don’t recall there being much of a constitutional crisis back then.

That was during Bubba's administration. Even the Clintons were not as corrupt as the current crop, they were just small time corrupt politicians learning how to upscale their operation (which they have, and learned a lot on the way).

Dick Durbin Accuses Republicans of Prejudice Against ‘Harvard Grad, Black Woman’

Joel B. Pollak 23 Mar 2022

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) accused Republicans Wednesday of attacking Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson because of a “stereotype” against a “Harvard grad, black woman” during her confirmation hearing.

Durbin opened the third day of hearings by using his opening statement to attack Republicans for their questions the day before, implying that they were motivated by racist and sexist prejudice against the nominee.

“You made a mess of their stereotype,” he said, accusing Republicans of trying to portray Judge Jackson as of on crime for political and racist motives. “The endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association Chief of Police doesn’t fit with their stereotype of a Harvard grad, black woman who is aspiring to the highest court in the land.”

Notably, Judge Jackson herself declined to offer a definition of the word “woman” when asked by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

Durbin told her that “your nomination turned out to an testing ground for conspiracy theories and culture war theories.”

Blackburn: ‘Judge Jackson Clearly Is Firmly Placed in the Progressive Wing of the Democrat Party’

During a Wednesday appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, sounded the alarm on U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Holy smokes....   she comes clean early.

So what she is saying if one pervert has 10 kiddy porn pics, he should get less punishment than one with a 1000.....

I don't see this nomination lasting.

Makes you wonder how much kiddy porn she or someone very close to her is holding.

Definitions are the very basis of law.

Look at any piece of legislation, the first section are the definitions of the words spelled out as to their exact meaning, and who or what they refer to.

If a judicial candidate is unwilling or unable to deal in definitions, how can they be appointed as a judge?

Every judge is going to have to rule on wide array of topics for which the have no degree or career in. Saying 'I'm not a biologist' as the reason she can't define things is a side-step that disqualifies her out of the gate, because that is the core of her job.

The progressive judge claimed she was unable to provide a definition [for the word 'woman'] because “I’m not a biologist.”

Well now.  I thought "we" couldn't determine who is a woman by way of biology, chromosomes, and such.  Is the Judge now saying that we CAN in fact look to biology for those answers?

If you lack both the common sense and the education to understand what being a woman is — or you’re too terrified of your political allies to admit you do know — perhaps you should not have a job that affects other people in any substantial way.

She can’t tell you the difference between a man and a woman, but she definitely knows enough to tell you which guns should be banned, which vaccines work, which babies have a right to life, and which pedophiles should be out on the streets.

Don't know why they are bothering with this Kabuki 'confirmation' nonsense. She is Black and female. There is no way she will not be confirmed no matter what. There could be a video of her drowning and eating kittens and she would still get in. This whole thing is a farce.

The Dems are already having 'celebration' parties even now. Everybody knows the fix is in.

[Smokin Joe]

This candidate....

Has refused to follow sentencing guidelines for the most heinous crimes...

will not follow the law....

and can't/won't define things a five year old can.

I don't care what color, gender, sex, race, or any of those divisions the candidate may claim.

The candidate is unsuitable for a municipal court, and even more so for the SCOTUS.
