Ketanji Brown Jackson made 'mathematically absurd claim' on Black newborns: WSJ op-ed
Fox News ^ | July 6th 2023

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made a "mathematically absurd claim" about Black newborns in her dissenting opinion in the affirmative action decision, attorney Ted Frank wrote in a Wednesday Wall Street Journal op-ed.

Jackson argued in her dissent that diversity "saves lives" and that it was essential for "marginalized communities."

"It saves lives. For marginalized communities in North Carolina, it is critically important that UNC and other area institutions produce highly educated professionals of color. Research shows that Black physicians are more likely to accurately assess Black patients’ pain tolerance and treat them accordingly (including, for example, prescribing them appropriate amounts of pain medication). For high-risk Black newborns, having a Black physician more than doubles the likelihood that the baby will live, and not die," she wrote.

Frank wrote that Jackson's claim came from a 2020 study, according to a footnote in the dissent, but added that the study didn't match Jackson's claim.

"The study makes no such claims. It examines mortality rates in Florida newborns between 1992 and 2015 and shows a 0.13% to 0.2% improvement in survival rates for black newborns with black pediatricians (though no statistically significant improvement for black obstetricians)," he said.

SHE Stinks At Math.


Reminds me.....

Tucker Carlson read drJill’s doctoral dissertation.....and concluded she’s illiterate.

Same with this babe.

She’s the poster girl for flawed AA.....and illustrates reasons why it had to go:
<><>Justice Brown-Jackson has not shown the ability needed to serve on the Supreme Court,
<><>her dissent indicates that she fundamentally fails to understand her duties as a USSC judge.
<><>plus there’s her inability to handle data accurately and truthfully.

Her writings are extremely sophmoric.

Just b/c she gets “a thought” occasionally, doesnt mean she has to write it down for all to see.

She is going to be the Carol Mosley Braun of SCOTUS justices.

My bet is that teachers unions in Demoncrap strongholds are a bigger reason for the lack of black doctors.....and other jobs that require real education.

It’s good that Ketanji is being shamed for her stupid AA dissent. Thomas’ critique was a bonus.

But she can claim to be an incompetent moron... and she’d be right.

Thomas is a national treasure. He will be remembered as one of the greatest Scotus jurists of all time.

I hope that a constitutional historian (not an ‘effin lawyer) someday collates his greatest decisions for posterity.

She has XX chromosomes (but doesn’t know what that means) and has “black” skin.

This makes her qualified for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court of these United States.

Incompetent?

Hardly ...

She's doing a VERY GOOD job of being a moron.

“She’s not a mathematician, or a biologist.”

Or even a “Doctor,” like Jill.

How do you expect the stupid bitch to do anything with numbers when she doesn’t even know what’s between her legs? Jackson needs to be put on a pedestal and brutally abused so everyone knows what affirmative action creates.

My guess is that the clerks are the ones who did the faulty work—and she just didn’t catch it.

The claim is incredibly absurd, born of a hysterically funny fake study that no one in their right mind would believe. This alleged association is NOT a proof of causation, merely association.

The actual take of this whole story is: Justice Brown is ghetto-level stupid. She has total lack of critical thinking, cannot put two logical words together and is a completely fake law grad. Fake admission to law school, fake grades, fake diploma. These blacks are given false qualifications they simply cannot earn. Ironically she is a WALKING BREATHING EXAMPLE OF THE HORRORS OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

The other great issue she brings up is the issue of racial IQ differences. Walking, breathing case study.
