Ketanji Brown Jackson voted YES to affirmative action

[Libhater]

Why wouldn't she?

She got onto the Supreme Court exactly that way.

Joe Biden said OUT LOUD that he would only consider a BLACK FEMALE for the Court.

Which meant that no Hispanics need apply.

No Whites need apply.

No Asians need apply.

And god know, NO MEN NEED APPLY!


In case y'all missed it, this is both SEXISM and RACISM.

Ain't no pretty snowflake way to dance around it.

If you are judging, appointing, hiring, or accepting on the basis of race......YOU ARE A RACIST.

Its way past time for a black woman to sit on the SC

Just like it was way past time to have a black woman as our veep. How's that particular black female veep working out for you and for our country?
Affirmative action any way you racist libs can get it, right? The word MERIT isn't a word associated with the liberal vocabulary.

You aren't going to tell a private business how to run it. Its sure benefitted Clarance Thomas, and many like him, only to have him say in effect it was good enough for me, but not for you.

It's good to see a woman of color as our VP. Scum like you would never use the word "black" and "merit" in the same sentence.

Actually, she recused herself. She is ethical.

Ketanji Brown by all the metrics used to assess SC Justices qualifications was one of the more qualified to be seated. Her CV was multiples more full than ACB or many of the males on the court.

Biden had identified a significant number of women of color who were more than qualified for the job, which nullifies any claim she was chosen due to her race.

It would have been nice if she were competent, but I guess you can't have everything...

Prove to us that she is incompetent, not qualified to sit on the high court. Just exactly what is there that disqualifies her?

I already did right here in another thead:

Jackson's dissent can be read here:

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/22pdf/20-1199_hgdj.pdf

It starts on page 211 and is a mishmash of non sequiturs, irrelevancies, and assorted drivel. Most of it boils down to a historical fallacy and the related Baconian fallacy. That is, she recounts various historical anecdotes and then assumes them to be 100% valid and correct. The worst part is that she uses buzzwords, invoking "Jim Crow laws" at one point, as an example, while showing through what she's trying to discuss that she knows nothing about Jim Crow laws and their history.

I'm sure you got good advice from your Biden bobblehead on that...

Clarence Thomas 1983

"Clarence Thomas told staffers at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that 'God only knows where I would be today' if not for the legal principles of equal employment opportunity measures such as affirmative action that are 'critical to minorities and women in this society,'". "'These laws and their proper application are all that stand between the first 17 years of my life and the second 17 years,' Thomas, then the EEOC chairman, said in 1983. His comments were later cited in outlets including The Washington Post, the New York Times and Newsweek."

We saw this coming from the aggrieved white christian male as they realize they will not be the majority in America and the default


Angry White Men and Aggrieved Entitlement


............."their feelings about their socioeconomic status in a sluggish and globalizing economy as well as the legal and social advances made by women, people of color, GLBT individuals, and others. Kimmel has coined the term “aggrieved entitlement” to describe these men’s defensiveness and aggravation that both “their” country and sense of self are being taken away from them."

A complete non sequitur. You are invoking a historical fallacy. What you are in effect saying with the above is that because Thomas believed in 1983, 40 years ago, that he benefited from affirmative action then he should be all for it today, 40 years later because nothing else has changed. As an example of how that's fallacious, Harvard today excludes Asians from their affirmative action program because they have become too successful at getting into college on their work and merits.
Times change and so does the need for various programs and institutions to continue. By your argument, because we had slavery in the past we should have it today.

Could any of them define the word woman?

No it is way past time for an Asian to sit on the Court.

Someone like Condoleezza Rice would have done a much better job.

 

[Guno צְבִי]

In a November 1983 speech to his staff at the federal Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, Thomas called affirmative action "critical to minorities and women in this society."

Then, his remarks got personal: "But for them (affirmative-action laws), God only knows where I would be today. These laws and their proper application are all that stand between the first 17 years of my life and the second 17 years."
