Ketanji Brown Jackson Has Been Alarmingly Evasive in Her Testimony at the SCOTUS Confirmation Hearings
PJ Media ^ | 03/24/2022 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 03/24/2022 9:03:58 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Some on the right were concerned when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell indicated a potential willingness to support the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Republicans indeed have shown more openness to support the nominees of Democrat presidents compared to vice versa, and given that Jackson’s confirmation wouldn’t change the balance of the court, it seemed possible that McConnell might ultimately join with Democrats and support her confirmation.

But, Jackson has squandered that goodwill with her evasive answers during her confirmation hearings, and McConnell has since expressed concern that Jackson has been “evasive and unclear.”

“She’s declined to address critically important questions and ameliorate real concerns. First and foremost is the simple question of court-packing. The far-left fringe groups that promoted Judge Jackson for this vacancy want Democrats to destroy the court’s legitimacy through partisan court-packing,” McConnell said on the Senate floor. “She was literally the court-packers pick for the seat, and she has repeatedly refused to reject their position.”

But, more concerning than her lack of response on the issue of court-packing has been her “remarkable lack of candor”—to use Senator McConnell’s words—and evasive responses regarding her judicial philosophy.

One of the more disturbing of Jackson’s evasive answers was her response to questions from Sen. Marsha Blackburn about radical gender theory. She refused to take a position about whether schools should teach little kids that they can choose their gender and flat out refused to define what a woman is.

“Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman?’” Blackburn asked her.

“Can I provide a definition? No. I can’t,” Jackson responded.

“You can’t?” Blackburn replied, clearly stunned.

“Not in this context,” Jackson said. “I’m not a biologist.”

What was Jackson trying to hide? Did she really think that only a biologist knows the difference between men and women? Of course not. But, the liberal interests that support her and are expecting her to deliver for their agenda while on the bench wouldn’t like her to tell the truth, so she has to obfuscate and hide behind bogus explanations.

So what? She could jump up on the desk, bare her hind end and tell them all to kiss it, and she will still be confirmed.

Yes, she must bend to the extreme left or they will demand Biden withdraw her nomination.

Republicans have no say in this anyway unless they want to fabricate things like the communists did against Kavanaugh

Shapiro (in think) was talking about her, he said she was on a circuit that was heavy with Obama appointees. That’s she is SO leftist the Obama judges were commonly dissenting against her opinions.

Also she wasn’t up to speed on the Dred Scott decision, isn’t that like a bricklayer not understanding mortar???

Probably a 100 IQ average intelligence candidate pushed through the system because of affirmative action and political bias to the highest court in the land—for life.

Everything I’ve seen shows me Biden is farther left than portrayed.

Actually she does not have to speak a word. She’s a shoo in.

She already has the votes. She actually should go full radical in her answers just to freak out the Repubs and have the Dems cheer her on.

Republicans are baffled that Ketanji Brown Jackson can’t say what a woman is: ‘It is a simple question’:

Sen. Marsha Blackburn calls Jackson’s refusal to answer the question ‘telling’!

If this alphabetical BLM chunk of left wing protoplasma becomes a Supreme, and she is unable to say, “What is a woman!”:

So, if she lies about this simple question or isn’t smart enough to tell us what a woman is.

She will be totally worthless as a Supreme or as an honorable human being!

Simple answer is any human being with XX pair chromosomes is a woman and those with XY chromosome pairs is a male. Intent or desire to work around that reality is a mental state of gender psychosis. If that’s one’s adult choice, have at it. I want my Zebra to have polka-dots.

If you can get people to deny the absolute truth of male vs female, then you can get them to accept whatever the government defines as truth. 1984 has arrived and Winston is hard at work at ministry of truth.

Democrats Nominate a Soft on Crime Person for the Supreme Court:

If a criminal figures out a more effective way to break into people’s homes to steal more, should he receive a lighter sentence per dollar of what he steals? Biden’s nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, certainly thinks so.

The legal system doesn’t normally work that way. If a rapist rapes two women, he gets two sentences, one for each crime. Each crime a criminal gets convicted for gets a separate penalty. That has traditionally been true for child pornography, where more pictures of children mean crimes have been committed.

In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Jackson discussed concerns raised primarily by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) that she was lenient on people who had child pornography. Hawley pointed out that as a judge, there were seven cases where she gave sentences below what was recommended by the federal sentencing guidelines. As a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, she also pushed to lower the penalties for child pornography.

It’s incredible how you have Dick Durbin coming out and saying some of the questions to Judge Jackson have been teetering near the line.

What the h-ll were you guys doing with Kavanaugh? And what were you doing questioning Amy Coney Barrett’s faith? What were you doing?”

Really, Jackson Has Suffered Nothing Compared To What Democrats Put Kavanaugh Through.

The truth is Republicans Are Pursuing Legitimate Questions About Ketanji Brown Jackson. They’re not going after baseless claims of sexual infidelity. They’re not going after her faith and trying to make a character out of this judge as some creature from the handmaid’s tale. They’re not asking whether she liked beer in college.

They want to know her JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY and that is where the questioned were focused on. Unfortunately, Ketanji was ALARMINGLY EVASIVE in answering these legitimate questions.

Those are grounds for disqualification.

She’s an Affirmative Action Democrat Marxist. Melanin and sex are her qualification.

"Jackson needs 51 votes to be confirmed and with Democrats in narrow control of the 50-50 Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaker, she is expected to be approved." No wonder she's smiling.

So what? O'Bummer is a foreign born usurper who hates America. The Klintons deserve to be in prison. Biden is a retard who has never accomplished anything in his perverted life except to get elected to public office.

This latest affirmative action flunky will fit into the above company just fine.

I was just getting interested in politics when the great Bork was disqualified by the democratic senate. Kennedy and Biden led the charge.
This is what that unproven but likely murderer Kennedy said about Bork who was the eminent expert on constitutionalism:

“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is often the only protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy,” he said. (Bork later stated that he felt every word in the statement was false.)

That bastard and Biden crucified him over nothing but lies.

Yes the Republicans have no stomach for a fight. She is replacing another liberal so not end of the world. She’s another mental midget right up there with Sotomayor. I heard her speak, another affirmative action 2 digit IQ DMV supervisor with a gavel. Besides the NASA gals or Condi Rice, can anyone name another smart black woman in public life. Crickets...... On the left end of Murray’s bell curve most of them, good for breeding criminals or government apparatchiks
