Jackson represents everything good about American and also the acknowledgement of hope and change away from all that was not so good and racist about the USA.

She is an awesome pick....and it is a done deal anyway.

This is a bit over the top. I like her public defender experience as well as her time on the sentencing commission and SCOTUS clerking.

Those three things make her pretty solid

So just remember, she isn't possible without The Civil Rights Act, affirmative action(as a rectifier and balancer of systemic racism as identified in much of the pedagogy of Critical Race Theory that informed the Civil Right Movement) and all the PROGRESS we have made as a country.

Yes, this is older concepts and ideas that many folks are unaware of today....and they are only one generation ago. Jackson is in her 50's.(I think)

It is folks like her that the new champions(the GOP) of race, discrimination and racism want to do away with in their attacks. Let's not be deceived in this for one moment.

They(GOP) detest her because she is black and because she has been afforded an opportunity via the Civil Rights Act...
Everything else but the opportunity (based in law) she earned.

Actually, she's turning out to be an accomplished liar and a danger to society.

How has she lied?

 

[Rightguide]

When pressed on whether or not CRT would affect her decisions she said, CRT "doesn't come up in the work that I do as a judge," she told Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)

But according to Jackson's Senate Judiciary Committee Questionnaire, she did say CRT should play a role in sentencing:

"I also try to convince my students that sentencing is just plain interesting on an intellectual level, in part because it melds together myriad types of law — criminal law, of course, but also administrative law, constitutional law, critical race theory, negotiations, and to some extent, even contracts,"

"And if that's not enough to prove to them that sentencing is a subject worth studying, I point out that sentencing policy implicates and intersects with various other intellectual disciplines as well, including philosophy, psychology, history, statistics, economics, and politics."

There is nothing dishonest in any of that.

That's because you can't read, and when you do read you do so with a jaundiced eye.

She says she encourages study of CRT in connection with general theory of jurisprudence. That does not make her a liar when she says CRT does not come up in her work as a judge.

It comes up with her sentencing:
She said that CRT, "doesn't come up in the work that I do as a judge,"

Then said in her questionaire, "I also try to convince my students that sentencing is just plain interesting on an intellectual level, in part because it melds together myriad types of law — criminal law, of course, but also administrative law, constitutional law, critical race theory, negotiations, and to some extent, even contracts,"

At this point she is beyond the law because CRT isn't the law. However, she chooses to allow it to influence her sentencing. Which makes her a friggin' liar, like most leftists.

This is nothing but can't have a smart, black woman making existing white members uncomfortable because she is smarter and more qualified than they are

Yes, having additional perspectives on law allows her to have a better understanding. This is why one single person doesnt dictate every process in history and why projects involve multiple participants.

Law is a field of study. If it were binary, the majority of lawyers and judges wouldn't be needed.

CRT is an additional exercise in studying law.

She's talking in terms of what in law school is called a "perspective course" -- "Theory of Jurisprudence," things like that -- and believe you me, nowadays such a course would be incomplete if it did not cover CRT (or, rather, the older theory of "Critical Legal Studies," in which CRT is rooted). But CRT is not the law, so of course it does not come up in her cases. Nothing in her testimony suggests that "she chooses to allow it to influence her sentencing" -- but, it would be completely legitimate if she did, judges' discretion is that broad.

Good thing your jaundice eye isn't a racist eye!

I love how thoroughly brainwashed Rightturd is in thinking she is a danger to society. That is some good propaganda the right has going.

You cling to racism so desperately in post racial America. Only racists keep racism alive because they see power in division. I don't care if she's black. the only thing making the Senators uncomfortable is her lack of judgement. The average American had no clue who she was before her nomination.

You believing this is a "post racism" America, says it all.

 

[Ramone45]

Of course it is. There is nothing any American is prohibited from doing based upon their race. We had a Bi-racial President. We are going to have 2 Black Supreme Court Associate Justices. A Bi racial vice president. You WANT racism. You think it gives you power.

Having racial discrimination built into law or not does not mean that racism is over, sorry.

Observing reality has nothing to do with wanting racism.

That is a lie. It is also a lie to call America post racial.

Oh FFS.
In the first comment, she refers directly to her work as a judge. In the second, she is talking about her work as a lecturer to law students, not as a judge. So the two are not contradictory at all. As usual, you're a Pavlov's dog, reacting only to a handful of words and phrases with no concern whatsoever for the context.

Congressman Fortenberry from Nebraska has just been convicted of campaign finance offences. Should he as a lawmaker get the maximum time recommended (5 years I think) or should a reasonable judge follow the example of Ketanji Brown Jackson and ameliorate the sentence to the particular circumstances.

The Congressman is a member of the GOP.
