Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearing is just straight-up racism!

Grilled by a group of old white men asking her:

Do you know what a woman is?
Are babies racist?
Is she an activist judge?

I mean come on! This is cast-iron confirmation that the GOP is now a White Supremacist party!😡

Although, wasn't it nice of Ted Cruz to assure her that her "dating habits" wouldn't be scrutinised. After all, what is the GOP of not the picture of graciousness and integrity?

It’s not the circus that happens during a republican nomination. She will be confirmed. But she is a leftist.

@jackson55 She is being Nominated for SCOTUS.

SCOTUS is to be neutral. her political leanings shall have nothing to do with decisions made in court.

NoT any of their beliefs and politics should be a factor.
THEY SHALL RULE on the constitutionality of laws

We all know the republicans on the court make rulings based on their political leanings. It is why they wanted to pack the court with their choices and keep fucking around with democratic nominations.

None of this circus is about her being a "leftist" .

By the WAY...

What is a leftist? I'd like a working definition of this word from everyone who uses it.

@jackson55 She may be a leftist. So what? Gorsuch, Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh are all hard-right. Do you have a problem with them..?

@JaggedLittlePill She is qualified and will be confirmed. Left or right they all make decisions based on their political beliefs.

@SW-User No problem with any of them as long as there’s some balance. The court has been back and forth from left and right since there’s been a Supreme Court and will continue to do so as long as there’s a Supreme Court.

@jackson55 Well, there is no balance at the moment. It is 6-3, and that is deliberate on the part of the GOP, who refused to countenance Garland because of it being "election year", and then rushed through Coney Barrett because it was "election year"

jackson55 · M

@SW-User No point in arguing the point. The struggle for left or right dominance will continue as long as there is a Supreme Court.

JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F

@jackson55 They are to rule on constitutionality. The questions should have focused on that very aspect of the job.

Otherwise SCOTUS becomes irrelevant. And I believe it is. It is irrelevant and has always been a fail safe for white supremacy

@jackson55 They would not be asking a white leftist these questions either. That’s the difference. They’re straight-up racists and not even trying to hide it now. 😞
