Well we have to admit one thing about Judge Jackson.
Biden said he would pick a black woman. And he did.
No light skinned mulatto this time. Judge Jackson is definitely black.
IMO her views on Child Pornography is way on the dark side too.
But crazy as this seems the Democrats and a couple of Republicans will vote to confirm her.
Why? Well first and foremost the Democrats have to back the pick their choice for President made.
Also they have to make a show of not being racist or misogynist.
And don't forget they want a liberal on the SCOTUS and this woman is definitely a liberal.
The Republicans who vote for her are Democrats in mind and attitude, and they are cowards who are frightened to make a stand for a Justice that could be picked from Judges with no political benefit that Democrats or Republicans could make use of.
The Supreme Court should not be made up of Judges who fit a political ideology.
And yes I know that thought is very naïve , but honest.

Ketanji Brown Jackson's Soft Spot for Drug Dealers, Pedophiles and Terrorists
"Justice demands this result." That’s what Ketanji Brown Jackson said in 2011 after the U.S. Sentencing Commission knocked as much as three years off the prison terms of crack-cocaine convicts. As vice chair of the commission, Jackson believed the nation’s drug laws were overly harsh and especially "unfair" to blacks.
A month earlier, Jackson had shrugged off Justice Department warnings that the decision -- which made more than 12,000 federal crack inmates eligible for early release -- could flood the streets with dangerous criminals who would likely reoffend.
"y keeping them in longer, it doesn't seem to make a difference with regard to whether or not they recidivate," Jackson reasoned in a June 2011 commission hearing in Washington, according to transcripts reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.
Then-U.S. Attorney Stephanie Rose objected: "It does protect the safety of the public, though, when they're not present to recidivate."
Unpersuaded, Jackson countered: "But the amount of time in jail doesn't affect that because there's no difference. If we keep them in jail for the extra 36 months, or whatever, they're going to recidivate at the same rate as if we released them early. So I don't see how public protection is being affected one way or the other in that scenario."
"Uhh... That's 36 months that they can't commit another offense you stupid hag!"
Ketanji Brown Jackson's claim child pornographers aren't pedophiles disputed by own experts
Jackson, who testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, has been accused by Republicans of giving lenient sentences to child sex criminals. She defended her actions and said she was "doing what law students do" when she wrote an essay in Harvard Law School criticizing the treatment of sex offenders.
The Biden nominee clashed in February 2012 during a Sentencing Commission hearing with witnesses Gerald Grant, a New York digital forensics investigator, James Fottrell, a U.S. Justice Department expert in criminal child exploitation, and Dr. Gene Abel, the founder of Abel Screening, a medical group that works to identify pedophiles.
"I was surprised at some testimony with respect to the motivations of offenders, and that there are people who get involved with this kind of activity who may not be pedophiles who may not be necessarily interested really in the child pornography but have other motivations with respect to the use of the technology and the being in the group and, you know, there are lots of reasons perhaps why people might engage in this," Jackson in quoted in the transcript as telling the panel.
Kentanji Brown Jackson, Spiking Crime Rates, and a Gullible GOP
When Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson failed to outline a lucid judicial philosophy in her Senate confirmation hearings in late March, news outlets like USA Today were quick to celebrate her reticence as a refusal to “take the bait” and “let anyone else define her.”
But written testimony submitted by Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall suggests that a lack of judicial philosophy is not only not a good thing (a view shared by legal scholars like Jonathan Turley of George Washington University Law School) but that Jackson may in fact have a judicial philosophy – and that may be even worse.
In his testimony, Marshall forthrightly links Jackson’s judicial philosophy to the same soft-on-crime philosophy driving crime spikes in cities across the country, often the result of Soros-backed district attorneys. In fact, Marshall notices that some of the same groups backing Jackson’s nomination have been vocal in their desire to “defund the police” and “reform our broken criminal-justice system.”
From Marshall’s testimony:
“It’s clear from the sentencing transcript that the probation office, which Judge Jackson repeatedly referenced to justify her sentences, wanted a longer sentence in this case,” the GOP aide continued. “Moreover, Judge Jackson even pointed to a case (Cooper), where she imposed the shortest possible sentence despite the prosecutor’s higher recommendation, to justify her sentence in this case.”
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee only got the transcript for the Cane case on Friday — after the hearings had concluded. “Clearly, the White House either didn’t thoroughly vet the nominee, or were aware of the record and they intentionally left it out in hopes that the nominee would be confirmed before the full record could be uncovered and reviewed,” the GOP aide insisted.
Article III Project founder Mike Davis says the White House engaged in a cover-up.
“This is a cover-up by the Biden White House and Senate Democrats,” Davis said. “They’re covering up her record. They intentionally omitted this case from less than a year ago because it did not fit their political narrative.”
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) agrees that the White House deliberately withheld this information to protect Biden’s nominee.
“When we first highlighted her record on child porn cases, the White House leaked information to their friends in the media and Democrats on the Judiciary Committee,” Hawley told Fox News. “They hid it from the public despite knowing Judge Jackson gives lenient sentences to criminals. The White House is still refusing to be transparent about Judge Jackson’s record.”

She's more likely to cause less damage as a minority in the SC than as a front line judge where she's one of one in decision making.

The only problem with that is she isn't the only dipstick there.
We have two butch's there already she will make the third liberal plus Roberts who can go either way, and Kavanaugh and Barret don't show me much either. In 3 years Biden may get another selection and put an illegal on the bench. That's about the only thing we don't have there so far.
