Ketanji Brown Jackson: you will create a tyrant.

Conservatives: that is what we want. A white king.

Rest of us: what about 2A gun rhetoric?

Conservatives: that was bad faith white supremacist response. We want a tyrant.

Few videos have ever so clearly illustrated the two worlds that exist in America. The fact that in one of these Jeopardy recaps, none of the white contestants could even identify Ketanji Brown-Jackson—the first Black woman Supreme Court Justice, seated in 2022—was as galling as it was informative.

These are supposedly some of the brightest people in the country, but they don’t even know some of the most cursory details of Black history—conversely, Black Americans are all but required to be aware of and know even thee most obscure details of white “culture” and European history if we want gainful employment and don’t want to be ridiculed or ostracized.

Generally speaking, white people already know precious little about the contributions and the importance of Black History and other non-European cultures, which is why when I see Ron DeSantis and other Republicans mandating laws that whitewash and erase Black history, it makes me realize just how extraordinarily EASY it is to do, because white America is already starting from a severe and intentionally maintained knowledge deficit.

Yes, we’re still obsessed with this picture two years later. 🥰 

After Justice Jackson’s historic confirmation, our Founder Michelle Obama perfectly described the pride in Leila Jackson’s eyes as she looks at her mother in this photo: 

“So many women of color now have a new role model to look up to as she serves on the highest court of the land. Thank you, Justice Jackson, for giving Black girls and women everywhere — including my daughters — a new dream to dream, a new path to forge, and a future we can all be hopeful for.”

Celebrating your living legacy today and always, Justice Jackson! #KBJ 💜

A landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that protects married couples' ability to obtain and use birth control is "constitutionally unsound," according to Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn.

Blackburn made the remarks in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday, as the Tennessee Republican prepared for Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Committee member Blackburn is among other Republicans who have said it is time to reconsider landmark court rulings with an ascendant conservative majority on the Court.

In her video, Blackburn called out the Supreme Court's 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut decision that struck down a state law banning the use of "any drug, medicinal article or instrument for the purpose of preventing conception." The Court ruled the law violated the constitutional right to privacy, which later served as the basis for the right to receive access to abortion care in the U.S.

"Constitutionally unsound rulings like Griswold v. Connecticut...confused Tennesseans and left Congress wondering who gave the court permission to bypass our system of checks and balances," said Blackburn.

In the video, Blackburn questioned the fitness of Jackson, nominated by President Joe Biden last month to be the first Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. Blackburn took issue with Jackson not specifying her judicial philosophy during hearings last year for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

[...]

With Roe potentially on the chopping block, some Republicans are hoping the Court will go even further.

Three Republican candidates for Michigan Attorney General said in February that Griswold was wrongly decided, according to a report in left-leaning Mother Jones. Two candidates later told The Detroit News they didn't want a ban on birth control.

Dana Nessel, Michigan's current Democratic attorney general, reacted with a tweet calling the opposition to the ruling "terrifying."

In a 2012 Republican presidential debate, candidates Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney (now a senator from Utah) also said they opposed Griswold.

Two years ago today, the U.S. Senate confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first Black woman in history to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. 

Her confirmation was a win for our entire nation and the future of our democracy. 

In her confirmation speech, Justice Jackson said, “It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States…but we’ve made it. All of us. And our children are telling me that they see now — more than ever — that here, in America, anything is possible.” #KBJ

In regards to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling to end Affirmative Action, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown wrote in her dissent, “With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life. And having so detached itself from this country’s actual past and present experiences, the Court has now been lured into interfering with the crucial work that UNC and other institutions of higher learning are doing to solve America’s real-world problems. No one benefits from ignorance.”

kavanaugh is a fucking disgrace who should never have been confirmed, and it’s all the more obvious when contrasted with a democrat president’s pick for the supreme court.

 a good cartoon.

From the June 9, 2023 article:

The Supreme Court turned down red states’ request to blow up Medicaid on Thursday in a 7–2 decision by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, surely her most important opinion to date. These GOP-controlled states, led by Indiana, sought to abolish Medicaid patients’ ability to sue health care providers who violate federal law, gutting the enforcement of countless rights secured by Congress. Their argument proved to be too unhinged for the court—though not for Justice Clarence Thomas, who wholeheartedly embraced the states’ theory on the basis of fraudulent, ahistorical pseudo-scholarship.
