We saw a trio of female black students who were asked whether her confirmation changed things. They all thought it was yet another bit of mental support for when the going got tough (as it really DOES in any good law school).
Tell me again how great the disintegration of moderates in the Democratic/Republican parties — with overlapping common goals — has been good for the Ameican people.
I am proud of President Biden to have made his promise to nominate a woman of color and then his keeping his promise. This shows his strength and integrity.
Jackson’s confirmation also proves that the American people have finally taken an over-due step forward. We are moving towards the day when prrsidential candidates won’t have to make an important promise like this.
I think one thing that many people missed with Jackson’s response, “I’m not a biologist” is that she is testifying that the definition of a woman is determined by biology, science, DNA.
So, let us not be blind to our differences–but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end our differences now, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal. -JFK June 1963
Two GOP senators chose to disrespect Ketanji Brown Jackson. And it’s a bad look
South Carolina’s Graham and Kentucky’s Paul voted against Jackson, which was not surprising. But it was the way they did it that’s worth calling out.
Neither senator was allowed to vote on the Senate floor because they were not wearing ties, as noted by CNN’s Ali Zaslav and Ted Barrett. Graham arrived to the vote wearing a quarter-zip and a blazer, even though video from a press conference Graham participated in on Thursday shows that he was wearing a tie earlier in the day. He voted “no” from the Senate cloakroom, which essentially amounts to a members’ lounge off of the floor.
Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop declined to say why the senator did not wear a tie for the vote when asked by CNN. “He voted. His vote was recorded,” Bishop said.
Meanwhile, Paul delayed the final vote for nearly a half-hour before casting his “no” vote from the Senate cloakroom wearing casual clothes. He didn’t respond to a question from Barrett Thursday as to why he was late.
Historic as it is, she should be an inspiration to all. She is exactly what we need more of on the Supreme Court. Someone who’s walked both sides of the street and has a moral compass.

She should be an inspiration to girls and women everywhere, no matter what color their skin.

Eldest Daughter, the Republican’t, is pitching a fit over pedophiles. Yeesh, kid! Get a grip, will ya?
We keep asking her to stop with the ranting emails. She’s not going to change our minds, and we’re not going to change hers.

Don’t fail to watch the Republican Senators walking out as everyone else applauded Judge Jackson. Petty, measly, contemptible.

This cartoon is the reason firsts like this should be promoted. It gives people, especially young people hope.
