The race card continues to be used by left wing media hacks, including idiots like Juan Williams. According to Williams. no matter how soft she is on child pornographers, if you question her on anything, then you are a racist. Yep, it’s the usual left wing Democrat/media ;ie. Unless you agree with a liberal, you are either a racist, homophobe, xenophobe or white supremacist. Yawn.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said Biden’s promise to nominate a Black woman was evidence of a “race-obsessed” view on the left.
But it is hard to say Jackson lacks the qualifications or the intellect to join the high court. She went to Harvard Law, served as a Supreme Court law clerk, a federal public defense lawyer and on the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
And she has been confirmed by the Senate three times, earning bipartisan votes for the Sentencing Commission post and for two judgeships in lower courts.
As a matter of merit, she deserves a 100-0 confirmation.Merit was not the issue when McConnell packed the court with right-wingers.
He stole a Supreme Court seat from then-President Obama by refusing to vote on another well-qualified nominee, current Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Given that track record, I expect the GOP and their allies in the right-media echo chamber to use every wink and nod of racist attacks to deny Jackson a court seat.But maybe I’m wrong.
Either way, my best advice for Jackson is to follow former first lady Michelle Obama’s legal advice — when they go low, go high — and demonstrate why she will be a fine jurist.
