She laid a glove on herself with the woman question. I don’t think she can be objective because of her track record. Based on your logic and correlation of race and the ability to be objective, you must think Clarence Thomas is objective without looking at his record.
Please tell us what makes her qualified unlike Coney Barrett other then skin color
That doesn’t necessarily mean anything, given the special favoritism bestowed upon blacks via affirmative action. The question is: would she have achieved the same if she were white? Given her mediocre, unimpressive performance at the hearings, my opinion is no.& yet the SC pick has 2 degrees, worked for several law firms, clerked for a SC justice, AND has the endorsement of at least two police unions.
but, please .... by all means ... do drone on.
<pssssst>
obama was also taught constitutional law, so you are on the wrong side of the actual facts with that one too.

Bit the odds are she did, given the stats that two out of three blacks got into advanced, competitive programs because they were black. If we didn’t lower admission standards for blacks, then we’d know they got in based on merit.there is NO evidence that she got into law school via AA.
howeverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............ no matter how she got in, she had to prove being worthy by her grades; which she did overwhelmingly.
nice try, sweety.

LOL, the lib goes right for the radist accusation. I am pointing out that fact that when the majority of blacks are admitted to programs because they are black, then it calls into question whether any individual black earned her place. Odds are, she did not.lol ... your racism is showing. you couldn't even pretend that she was qualified.
now tell me how the handmaid was qualified other than being a fundy christian female.
alrighty, then - now pay attention:
She went on to Harvard College, from which she graduated magna cum laude in 1992,
and Harvard Law School, graduating cum laude in 1996.
She spent the year between college and law school as a reporter and researcher at Time magazine in New York.
In the 17 years following her graduation from law school, Jackson held a variety of legal jobs.
She attained three federal clerkships,
worked at four elite law firms,
and served two stints with the Sentencing Commission.
From 1996 to 1997, Jackson served as a clerk to U.S District Judge Patti Saris, a Massachusetts judge appointed by President Bill Clinton.
She followed that clerkship with a second one, for Judge Bruce Selya, appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit by President Ronald Reagan, from 1997 to 1998.
Jackson then snagged a highly sought-after spot as an associate at Miller Cassidy Larroca & Lewin, a Washington litigation boutique that later merged with Baker Botts, a Texas-based firm.
A promotion to the country’s “second-highest court”
The D.C. Circuit is often dubbed the “second-highest court in the land” because of the many high-profile cases that it hears and because it has served as a launching pad for several Supreme Court justices. Among the current justices, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh all served on the D.C. Circuit before being nominated to the Supreme Court, as did the late Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
her mid-career decision to spend two years as a public defender. In fact, the last justice with significant experience representing criminal defendants was Justice Thurgood Marshall, who retired in 1991.
In 2005, Jackson became an assistant federal public defender in Washington, D.C. At her 2021 confirmation hearing, Jackson drew “a direct line” between her work as a public defender and her later work as a trial judge.
As a public defender, Jackson argued in the D.C. Circuit, including before some of the judges who would later become her colleagues.
Jackson left Miller Cassidy after a year for a third clerkship, this time at the Supreme Court as a clerk for Breyer.
When her clerkship ended, Jackson became an associate in the Boston office of a large law firm, Goodwin Procter.
Jackson left Goodwin Procter in 2002 to become an associate at the firm then known as the Feinberg Group, now known as Feinberg Rozen.
In 2007, Jackson returned to private practice one last time. She became “of counsel” – a designation for lawyers who are neither associates nor partners – in the Washington office of Morrison & Foerster, a large San Francisco-based law firm. For three years, Jackson was part of the firm’s appellate litigation group, working on cases in the Supreme Court and in state and federal appeals courts around the country.
n 2010, she returned to the Sentencing Commission after Obama nominated her to serve as vice chair of the commission. The Senate confirmed her for the position by unanimous consent.
A federal district judgeship
In September 2012, Obama nominated Jackson to serve as a U.S. district judge in Washington, D.C. Although the Senate held hearings in December, it did not act on her nomination before the 112th Congress adjourned at the beginning of January. Obama nominated Jackson again on Jan. 4, 2013, and the Senate confirmed her by a voice vote in March.
A promotion to the country’s “second-highest court”
Jackson was confirmed on June 14, 2021, by a vote of 53-44. Three Republicans – Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska – joined all Democrats in voting for her.

Endorsements don’t persuade me. My concern is still that she won’t bend to the Constitution but will instead continue the liberal judicial activist approach of torturing the words of the Constitution to decide cases for the benefit only of political ideology.a lot of so called ' (R)s ' & rw pundit nutters are dog whisteling just that & those who cannot critically think for themselves because their moldy ol' MAGAt caps are squeezing their ' brains ' too tight.
well ^^^ that ^^^ is refreshing.

Fraternal Order of Police is ‘reassured’ by Biden’s SCOTUS pick
Only racists think AA is meant to help undeserving blacks rather than as a mechanism for teaching ignorant and racist whites how to act right.Bit the odds are she did, given the stats that two out of three blacks got into advanced, competitive programs because they were black. If we didn’t lower admission standards for blacks, then we’d know they got in based on merit.
LOL, the lib goes right for the radist accusation.
I am pointing out that fact that when the majority of blacks are admitted to programs because they are black,
then it calls into question whether any individual black earned her place. Odds are, she did not.
The libs need to stop applying racist standards when selecting people for high positions - and for sure not proudly bragging about it!
Biden came right out and said NO WHITEYS
would be considered, just as he said NO WHITEYS for VP.
And look where that got us - a mediocre person who made her way through life by benefit of advantages being given her because she is black.
Please stop being such a racist.
We should not be selecting people due to their skin color.
I have ONE serious question;
Why couldn’t she answer the q
Marsha Blackburn asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to define 'woman.' Science says there's no simple answer.
When Marsha Blackburn asked Ketanji Brown Jackson to define "woman," she wanted a simple answer. Scientists and gender scholars say it doesn't exist.www.usatoday.com
Explain this. oh how I love posting this !!!
playtime
Saying that the majority of blacks got into prestigious universities based on race, and that the odds are that the SCOTUS nominee did as well, is NOT racist.
It’s simole statistics: two out of three black admits would have been rejected if they were white, and one out of three blacks would have gotten in via their own merit.
This is well-known among those of us who worked in higher education admissions, although it’s not openly talked about.
what do you think affirmative action is? It’s admitting blacks who wouldn’t have qualified if they were white. If they would have qualified regardless of race, then AA did nothing.
You anti-white racists, who are all for favored treatment based on race as long as the ones getting the favor are black, can’t have it both ways.
Either you admit that AA rejects better-qualified whites to make room for lesser-qualified blacks (in most cases), or it doesn’t and therefore is doing nothing and should be eliminated.
You racists on the left can scream “raaaaacist” all day long at people who point out the racial bias of AA, but it’s clear where the real bigots lie. Here’s a mirror.
Also, I did not select a president based on his skin color.
I selected an accomplished man over a demented one, the latter moving increasingly to the left.
Are you claiming that anytime someone votes for a white over a black, it’s due to racism?
Then tell me why I voted for the black candidate in my state election (he was a Republican, so I liked his policies),
and all the Democrats voted for the white guy (who was a liberal)? ALL THOSE DEMOCRATS ARE RACIST, according to you.
Vile racist tard.Now hopefully the news about Clarence Thomas being in the hospital pans-out and he dies
You leftists who are in favor of racial bias need to get new material. Stats show that of black admits, two out of three would have been rejected under the more stringent white standards.ya it is - 'cause you fundamentally believe blacks are inferior, so they MUST have gotten into college based on quotas.
Nope, I got my job despite the fact that I was a straight white female. This was a liberal place, and they gave first dibs to blacks and gays. The fact that I was hired despite my “whiteness” was testament to my skills and proven experience.& females. perhaps YOU got YOUR job 'in higher ed' based on yer XX chromosomes.
yu idiot - i AM white.
i don't believe AA should be a 'thing'. i just don't believe blacks are innately less qualified, because they are bbbbbblack.
IKR? The leftists reveal theor bigotry at every turn. Keep them talking, and they’ll come out with swipes about the Jews, too.Vile racist tard.
