Senate confirms Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson

Who ever said that they forgot the past? I asked you why does the past matter, when IT IS ALL DIFFERENT NOW? You're just obviously deflecting that it's not the dems now but the GOP who got a massive problem of attracting nazi's and racists. But I guess every vote counts, ey?

 

I dunno, YOU

 

Asking why mentioning something in the past happened matters, is not proving I forgot it happened.
It's just asking why it's relevant to mention it.
/facepalm

 

Like I said What's the argument here, you clearly question the usefulness of the past... I get it bro!

 

Well apparently you also do not know why you're bringing up a past that doesn't matter.
So all that matters now are nazi's and other racist being supportive of the GOP.

 

I'm not bringing up the past

I contend that all the past history has relevance in all things considered, we straight now? Or is this gonna be a three page lesson in futility

 

Dude, at the beginning of this thread, you were under the impression that ther were "many" previous black members of the supreme court. When I pointed out that you were absolutely wrong as there had been only one previous black supreme court member (Marshall) and one current black supreme court member (Thomas), your options were 1) "yeah, brain fart, my bad, I obviously knew it was only two" 2) "holy smokes! I did not know that. Thanks for the history lesson". You instead went very bizarrely with trying to lecture me and claiming that I did not know history. Talk about delusion of grandeur "you're welcome" "leftists that don't even know history" especailly on the heels of making such an ill informed statement in the first place.

And yes, I did know about Janice Rogers Brown. Bush nominated three people to the supreme court. He had three chances to nominate her and he didn't. She certainly was not "set" to be on the supreme court (at the time some republican senators thought she was too controversial). So yes, Bush did informally short list her (funnily enough, he wanted to nominate a woman or a minority) but no she was not 'set' in any way shape or form.

 

I went to Thurgood Marshall College at UCSD. I've forgotten more about the man than you will even know. You Leftists always thinking you can infer and place upon others what they think. It's a strange projection you guys constantly pull.

I've studied African History pre-1850 all the way back to the Hausa States and up to the Slave Trade in Africa and how Islam was introduced. I then studied African American History from 1700+ through Civil Rights. I can tell you all about Tenant Farming, I've read the life story of Nate Shaw. There is likely nothing someone like you can teach me about Black History. My mother (uber Liberal) grew up in Mobile, Alabama and marched for Civil Rights in the South. If you want to know something about Black History, just ask.

 

OK. How many Black supreme court justices has there been in history?
Is it A) many or B) 2?
You made the statement that it was A. With all your bona fides, you have to admit that that was absolutely wrong. As I said, this can happen to the best of us. A brain fart in the middle of an argument. And yet rather than just admit that you made a mistake, you decide to aggressively try to give me a history lesson. Talk about infering: you acte'd as if I was unaware of Janice Brown and tried to school me. Where you were once again wrong on facts and where you do exactly what you accuse me of doing: infering what the other person knows.

Just say it: ' i made a mistake when I said there were many black supreme court justices'. It's really not that hard

 

You want to get all caught up in OMG! There was only 2 and you said "many". lol

The bottom line is there weren't more because of Joe Biden.



Clarence Thomas also almost got screwed by Joe Biden.

 

Posting Ancient Whataboutusm about Biden (because everybody sees that one got totally owned, and called out) is a horrible look...
Talk about "Someone admitting that they have NOTHING!"...:smh:

Anyway, back on-topic, Congrats to (soon to be) SC Justice KBJ...

 

It would be C) 3

And it was the left that tried everything in their power to stop the second black supreme nominee! Heck, Biden was one of the most savage against Thomas. Even more so, there were even more Democrats that voted against Thurgood Marshall's. 14 Democrats to 1 Republican voted against Thurgood Marshall!

 

Correct. We have had 1 Black Female and almost 2 Black SCOTUS nominees stopped by Joe Biden and the Democrats.... and they want to cry about racism? It's a Clown World with the Left.

 

MJ Davies, my belief that hundreds of persons are more qualified than Mrs. Jackson is that the longer you serve on the Appeals Court the more qualified you are. My pick was the Head justice of the ninth circuit: 22 years and just 62 years old, chosen by her current peers as best.
I have studied the career of Thurgood Marshall in great detail. As a judge and Solicitor General plus his long career in law with huge successes I would say he was the most qualified black man for the court in 1967. He was more qualified than Abe Fortas, the white Jewish man LBJ appointed 2 years earlier, and more qualified than Byron White, appointed because he went to law school with Kennedy.
Still, Abe Fortas was better for LBJ than anyone could be and White was better for Kennedy than anyone could be.
Obviously LBJ expected full subservience from Marshall, as he got from Fortas. There are other considerations.
Do you want a list of the 39 white men who were either morally bad or inept as Supreme Court Judges?

 

The historic nature of this nominee is undeniable.

• First Justice to be explicitly hired because of Affirmative Action.
  
• First Justice to violate Title VII of The Civil Rights Act.
  
• First Justice to be unable to define 'woman'.
• First Justice to openly signal their allegiance to dark money donors.
  
• First Justice to be a CRT racist.
  
• First Justice to be an outspoken ally of pedophiles.

 

Because skin color/your sex are far better qualifications than merit.

 

HB Surfer, you wanted a tough question about black history. I have an answer but maybe yours is better.
Can you describe and assess the Supreme Court term of 1990-91? That was when William Brennan retired and Thurgood Marshall was first in seniority on the liberal side (unofficially down 5-3, no one knowing what to expect from David Souter).
Did he convert any votes from minority to majority? Did he assign the right people to write opinions? What was his winning percentage that year?

My opinion is that he couldn't handle the stress, especially with his ongoing health problems.That's why he retired in 1991 instead of trying to hold out for 1993. That's why Souter retired in 2009. He knew he couldn't handle the stress of being first on the liberal side.

If I'm right, that changed history quite a lot.
