After the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson as the first black female justice to the U.S. Supreme Court, liberal hypocrites parroted the same talking points.
MSNBC host Yasmin Vossoughian said: “Minority children across the board watching Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson gain this seat on the Supreme Court (were) inspired by what she’s been able to achieve.”
MSNBC host Tiffany Cross said: “This week we bore witness to history as we watched Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson become Justice Designate Ketanji Brown Jackson. It has taken over 230 years to get to this point, and for the first time in U.S. history, white men are not the dominant representation of what so many have called ‘blind justice’ on the Supreme Court.”
PBS and NBC journalist Yamiche Alcindor said: “Well, this was a profound moment in history. And Judge Jackson, soon to be Justice Jackson, really leaned into the history that she is making. … She talked about being an inheritor of America’s promise of justice for all.”
And the race-incendiary Rev. Al Sharpton took a shot at the obviously “racist” Republicans for not joining in the celebration of the historic event: “As great as it is today, for black women, for women, and for black people, we all couldn’t celebrate that together. (Republicans) didn’t even have enough humanity to say this is historic. And I think that that is very telling.”
No, what’s telling is the phoniness of the celebration.
Where was this desire for the “first black female” justice to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia — arguably the second-highest court in the country — when then-Sen. Joe Biden and the Democrats, from 2003-2005, used the filibuster to attempt to block the nomination of black conservative female Judge Janice Rogers Brown? Worse, when she finally received confirmation, Biden publicly threatened to filibuster her again should President George W. Bush nominate her to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Rogers Brown, the daughter and granddaughter of sharecroppers, put herself through UCLA law school as a single mom. Appointed to the California Supreme Court by a Republican governor, she received 76% of the vote in this liberal state when she ran to keep her seat. Her winning percentage was higher than any other justice on the ballot that year. But who cares? After all, she’s a conservative.
When I ran to recall California Gov. Gavin Newsom, The New York Times wrote a negative article about my candidacy and never mentioned my race or that I would have become the first black governor of California. Fine with me. Isn’t it past time to consider one’s suitability for office without regard to race, ethnicity or gender? But on the same day, the same newspaper in another article gushed over the “first” female governor of New York, a Democrat.
After the election of Barack Obama, the first black president, isn’t virtually every other black “first” anticlimactic by comparison? Blacks have been, and are, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies; presidents of the American Bar Association and the American Medical Association; governor of Virginia, once the capitol state of the confederacy; president of an Ivy League university; and listed on the Forbes 400 Richest Americans. Blacks are 13% of the U.S. House of Representatives, mirroring the percentage of the black population in America.
As to the black females being “inspired” by Justice Brown Jackson, black females have long had (SET ITAL) higher (END ITAL) self-esteem and more confidence than any other group of females, including whites. While on average, black women are heavier than white women, black females report greater satisfaction with their bodies than do white women.
Finally, it was the first black president who said: “My identity might begin with the fact of my race, but it didn’t, couldn’t end there. At least that’s what I would choose to believe.”

I wouldn’t want to be chosen as a token
She wasn’t. She was chosen because of radical leftist agenda.
Screw kotex brown
Perhaps the Conservatives didn’t celebrate because they didn’t feel a lover of pedophiles on the Supreme Court was reason for celebration.
You go, Larry Elder. You’re the best. I don’t live in California but I support you wholeheartedly
Race has nothing to do with this new judge. It has to do with the agenda. How will she possibly follow the constitution and the bill of rights with her record?
It was a mistake to confirm judge Jackson due to the fact she is soft on child sexual abusers, child pornographers and rapists, how would she vote on a decision on the court against these perpetrators? Light to no sentences? Most likely, not true justice for the victims by any means.
Black WOMAN? Even she’s not sure! But, she IS the first token!
she is a pedophile protector like all commie democrats!
Yes; she’s a first in racism on the court. Of course liberals are celebrating this. I’m glad she’s in the minority.
Minority children see it where?
I’ll wait for approval some more! Ketanji Brown Jackson is a criminal lover and a racist! She blames “white supremacy” for everything, even her education or lack thereof!
More corruption, the disgraced biden clan, a story of personal family greed, disloyalty to America, lies with no honour, false oaths taken, complete hatred of American ways, our American ideals, with direction towards the destruction of America, with their American last policy. How can so much money be taken from Americas adversaries without our country’s positions being compromise or influenced by foreign dirty money? Time for full investigations, the guilty be put on trail, for any disloyalty taken, money falsely taken, lying to Congress, have them return too tax payor’s money received under illegal’s methods or dishonest ways. Those who have violated our country’s laws must be prosecuted, put in jail and made to return all money taken in from their dishonesty. Vote them out of office and keep them out, they are driven by personal greed only.
>>and power
This woman is not fit to sit on the Supreme Court. She could not respond to questions as a superior person, but an ordinary citizen. She gave criminals lower sentences that were prescribed by the law, even rape cases. She did not follow the guidelines of sentencing and always lowered the sentence of the criminal a great deal. People were let out on bail by this judge. She could not answer Marcia Blackburn’s question, “What is your definition of a woman?” She answered, “I am not a biologist.” What an idiotic answer. Race should not determine who sits on the Supreme Court at Sotomeyer. Choosing a Supreme Court justice is determined by their rulings while a justice on the court. Even Roberts, though white, should not be on the Supreme Court. His ruling on not hearing about the corrupt election of 2020 is an injustice to the American people. Roberts is supposed to oversee the FISA court and we know that he never did by the rulings against Trump on the FISA court. One must have a brilliant mind and follow the laws of the US and be justified in their opinions to sit on the Supreme Court. The only reason this woman was chosen is due to her color. This alone should eliminate her on the court. Our country should not choose people to sit on the court due to race and gender. Superior minds who follow the law should be chosen to sit on the Supreme court.
Can’t even tell you what a woman is, total embarrassment for the S/C.
They balance of the court remains. One lib for another. This “IT” has some nerve with her garbage accomplishments. She married a white guy. WHY?
No black takers???? The whole fam are liberal activists. Her parents must be proud???
Sick and tired of this nonsense.
Maybe we should ask al sharpton to define the word ‘woman’, he is constantly calling her THAT…
One of the traditions of SCOTUS is for the most junior member to serve coffee to the rest of the justices. Wonder how this will go over with this “unique” black female???
What’s the big deal she’s just one big liberal that’s replacing another big liberal that just retired on the Supreme Court. It has the same makeup that it did before and it’s not the liberals that we have to worry about it’s the conservative judges siding with the liberal judges that we have to worry about. #MAGA!
She’s not only liberal, she crosses over to communist and the first item on her agenda is the total destruction of the Constitution.
IT IS REALLY TOO BAD THAT THIS IS A TEACHING LESSON FOR CHILDREN…….SHE WAS APPOINTED BY A “CROOKED” ADMINISTRATION!!!!!!!!! HER PAST CASES PROVED BYSIS !!! THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT A GOOD LESSON OF HONESTY FOR OUR HIGHEST COURT!!!!!!!!!
Can we identify the “first black criminal let off the hook because he is black”!
