Brown Jackson showed her incompetence when she couldn't define the term woman because she wasn't a biologist. Great, let's give her 1/9 power on interpreting one of the most important documents in history because she has a vulva and a lot of melanin. What a clown show.

The most amusing part of that was that by claiming that she had to be a biologist to know what a woman is, she is implicitly acknowledging that gender is a matter of biology and not psychology. I wish the Senator had pointed that out in real time.

Me too!!! OHMYGosh, she just left it there. I would have killed her nomination with my questioning but then again, I’m not a paid actor!

They should have asked her what *she* means when she uses the word woman.

The Jackson dissent reminds me of many of the arguments I heard presented by minority law students in law school. Frankly, it deteriorated my respect for them. They thought of law as a tool to get them the result they emotionally wanted. Anything else was "systemic racism," though that term wasn't widely used then.

A former now deceased friend was friends with Barrett from law school. He had a recruiting agency and was always a bit embarrassed when doing interviews with HBCU students.

I don’t know what’s more alarming in the long run - that KBJ is on USSC (which TBH has had its share of dummies) or that she went to HLS and graduated with honors.

Jeepers, I always say Sotomayor is the worst and stupidest Supreme Court justice in the last 200 years, but apparently KBJ has filed an amicus curiae saying "hold my beer".

I'm not sure if she or her (most likely) super-woke Very Online progressive clerks wrote that tiktokery nonsense, but she signed her name to it, so she deserves as much scorn and ridicule as can be heaped upon her.

I agree in part and dissent in part.

I also went to Law School, graduated in 1989, and received (what was at the time in my state) the highest number of perfect 10s (6) on the essay portion of the exam. I was fortunate to be able to go to law school, pass the exam, pass the bar, and have a lot of doors open for me because of that. So for me it wasn’t unfortunate at all.

Where I do wholeheartedly agree with you is that “most lawyers are assholes”.

I’m sure we could have an interesting discussion on why that is the case, but our wisdom in this matter is unassailable.

She was selected based solely on her skin color, and not by Joe Biden as Article II Section 2, Clause 2 demands - but by the illegitimate senile President's handlers: ask Robert Hur. There is absolutely no reason that mental midget (and actual "little person") theater kid should be a sitting US Supreme Court Justice - for life. Not one reason. I read her "opinion" in full, and I still don't know what the hell I just got through reading. It's infuriatingly stupid, and comes across like a review of an episode of Game Of Thrones written by a pissed off sixteen year old. I hope the rift between her and the rest of the Supreme Court justices widens to a point that Congress impeaches her or she resigns in disgust. It's 2025 people! Anything can happen...

There is nothing silly, about getting rid of a person, who has absolutely no business whatsoever sitting on the highest court in the land. she has proven ,she is as about as intelligent, as a three-day-old dried up dog turd, I apologize, that was extremely insulting to dog turds, the woman is so stupid she can't Define what a woman is. I just can't help but be disgusted, that she was installed on the United States Supreme Court. And there seems to be no remedy to remove her in spite of overwhelming evidence of her extraordinary ignorance and stupidity.

I’m thinking all of Bidens appointments, orders, and declarations are going to be found null and voided. If he didn’t comprehend anything at all, in the four years he was supposed to be governing the most powerful nation on earth,I’d say she’s gonna get the boot. Along with a host of other absurdities done by his charming stable of libretarded, progretarded, little criminals.

I'm afraid that there's a prevalent attitude of letting sleeping (or dead) dogs lie in the matter of the legality of what Biden's secret regents did, but it would be very satisfying to see their work undone and have them held to account.

She knows what a woman is, but she had zero integrity to define one because she bows to the highest bidder. That, to me, takes her out of the running for a Supreme Court judge.

(Not a lawyer, but married to one.)

I am stunned by this discourse at the Supreme Court level. And, I am equally stunned by the fact that someone as unqualified and “mind numbingly” dumb as Katanji Brown Jackson was ever even considered for the Supreme Court. Another shameful legacy of the Biden era.

Kudos to Amy Coney Barrett for calling Jackson out boldly and directly.

' I am equally stunned by the fact that someone as unqualified and “mind numbingly” dumb as Katanji Brown Jackson was ever even considered for the Supreme Court. ' was more or less aligned with my first thought after first reading the analysis, and then ACB's writing to confirm what I was reading from 2nd sources. Everybody who works in mental heavy lifting industries knows exactly what happened at SCOTUS right now - DEI on SCOTUS. I didn't want to believe it, but lo and behold, I have seen this dynamic play out many, many times before. In more than one country.

Debbie Wagner's avatar

All true. The fact that ACB dressed down KBJ in such a scathing and direct way —publicly and in writing, on the record!— is astonishing. I doubt anything even close to this has occurred between justices before. It’s obvious that the other justices have little to no respect for KBJ.

To answer your question: I can’t think of a specific example at the moment, but Justice Jackson is fortunate that Justice Barrett wrote for the majority. I would love to know what Justices Thomas and Alito have to say on the matter.

Best work McConnell ever did in his entire career was, as Senate Majority Leader, not allowing the Senate Judiciary Committee to entertain Obama’s nomination of “Granny”Garland to replace Constitutional Strict Constructionist Antonin Scalia on SCOTUS when he died 8 months before the 2016 election. So instead of a flaming liberal moron, Trump won and placed Conservative Neil Gorsuch. Only God could have orchestrated Trump filling 3 SCOTUS vacancies in 1 term…

I thought the double set of ellipses would be sufficient to make the reader know that they were hanging in suspense for the profundity about to be revealed. But no. She had to cheapen the literary experience with the phrase “wait for it”. So disappointing to disjoint a magnificent display of punctuation with a hollow explanation using words. I feel cheated.

Excellent article, and the answer is YES. Scalia mentioned O’Connor, Kennedy, and Souter, Ginsberg mentioned Scalia, Kagan mentioned Alito, and Thomas mentioned Breyer, to name a few. It was pretty much the same in the old days as well.

Justice Jackson is the Kamala Harris of the Supreme Court - she's the DEI Justice. Biden said as much when he named her. Naming her for reasons other than her legal knowledge doomed her to be the Justice who doesn't know what a woman is...

Even if he/his regents were determined to do so for DEI optics, it would have been so much better to simply do it instead of calling attention to how great they were for choosing her on the basis of appearance rather than qualifications.

I'm also doubtful that they couldn't have found a more intelligent candidate that still checked the boxes. Then again, maybe intelligence was not as much a concern as loyalty to the party that installed her.

She has neither the temperament nor the intelligence to be on the court. She’s a moronic wokester who got put there because she’s a black woman. I don’t like Kagan’s rulings, but she sure isn’t stupid. That’s for sure.
