Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., brought Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to tears Wednesday with an impassioned speech hearkening to the plight of Black Americans and the efforts of their forebears that led Booker and Jackson to be sitting together in the same Senate hearing room.

“It’s hard for me not to look at you and not see my mom. Not to see my cousins, one of them who had to come here and sit behind you. She had to have your back. I see my ancestors and yours,” Booker said. “But don’t worry, my sister. Don’t worry. God has got you. And how do I know that? You’re here, and I know what it’s taken for you to sit in that seat.

“You have earned this spot,” Booker said. “You are worthy. You are a great American.”

The fourth Black person elected to the U.S. Senate, Booker recalled that when he first arrived in the Capitol a decade ago, some Black members of the cleaning staff would hug him after hours and thank him.

At various points during Booker’s presentation, Jackson, who spent much of the last two days fending off attempts by Republican senators to derail her historic nomination to the high court, reached across the witness table in the room and pulled a tissue from the pack and dabbed her eyes.

The hearing room was quiet during Booker’s remarks, the audience transfixed.

How do they know what a cousin is?

They’re not biologists.

Not only did Spartacus have Brown-Jackson in tears, somewhere in Newark you just know T-bone was bawling his eyes out.

Booker loves stuff like this. He lays the rhapsodising
on heavy, like a bucket full of hot gravy.

If he could have seranaded her with a ukelele while wearing a hawaiian shirt he would have done that too.

I'm crying, too.....For my Country.

The lady has her own agenda. In fact, all the ladies on the Court right now have a deep and dangerous bias.

Both of them should go off together. Guantanamo Bay should fit the bill.

They didn’t know that he was just another Soros, DEEP STATE clown.

I bet they did the same with cackling, low mentality Kamala.

Tribalism on full display!

I’m sure he felt that same way about Janice Rogers Brown and Clarence Thomas.
