Ketanji Brown Jackson

[GURPS]

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recited as a “fact” that Black pediatricians, as compared to white pediatricians, double the survival rate of black babies. She implied that Black babies die more often when under the care of white pediatricians because the white ones are racist.

Therefore, her reasoning goes, we should favor Blacks in college admissions – so that we can double the Black baby survival rate.

That would be a neat trick – to double the survival rate of Black babies – and a pretty good reason to continue racially discriminating in favor of Blacks, if only her “fact” were true.

But it’s not.

The current Black baby survival rate is over 99%, within a hair of the white baby survival rate. So, a doubling of the Black baby survival rate would put it at over 198%. In other words, for every one Black baby born, nearly two would survive.

I suppose this spontaneous generation of an additional Black baby spawned by the excellent care of a quota-baby Black medical school applicant would give us a good reason, finally, to refer to the baby with the plural pronoun “they.”

But, alas, it’s not possible. One baby equals, at most, one baby. No matter how hard we thumb the scale in college admissions, and no matter how excellent the care from a Black pediatrician, that Black baby will still be only one Black baby.

Justice Jackson wants to increase the Black baby survival rate to 198% but what about the Black abortion rate?

I read about this some time ago. Evidently math isn't her strength - you can half the death rate, but you can't double a survival rate past 100%.

The survival rates are CLOSE - 99.6 vs. 99.8.

But here's the thing - black babies are very likely to come under the care of a white doctor when they are admitted to a NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). Survival rates under those circumstances are slimmer. If a black baby is under the care of a black doctor, the baby is almost certain NOT to be in NICU. Black babies also are almost twice as likely to be premature than white babies, and 50% higher than Hispanic babies.

Hence, the discrepancy.

Some people just NEED to warp statistics to claim something that isn't there.

I can't find the link - just remembered what I'd read - but the dissenting opinions voiced and recorded over the last few weeks have been emotional ones - appealing to what the law ought to be - what the law SHOULD do - and what should be done about it.

Which is why I am glad THEIR voices were not the majority because the court DOESN'T MAKE LAW. They do not, should not and must not render decisions based on what they think ought to be done. You can't rule that up is down or left is right because it's better for everyone that way. You rule on the Constitution and the law. That is it.

You want to make law, do it in Congress. Can't make it in Congress? Either take your case to the people and change their minds or shut up and be done with it. I'm tired of legislators who think they don't have to listen to the people that voted them in.

If I were a guessing man I would guess that the lower survival rate has a lot to do with neo-natal care.

I've watched a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy. It seems that black surgeons are pretty much dominant on the show. I did some research and in the US, blacks of both genders are only 1.8% of all the surgeons. Yet this show wants you to believe that the chief of surgery and all the other surgical department heads are minorities. Plus half of the interns each year.

I'd have to say that a subculture that doesn't value education eliminates the majority of US born blacks from pursuing a medical degree.

1.8%. A hospital would be an anomaly if it had 2 black surgeons on staff.

The most common ethnicity among surgeons is White, which makes up 76.6% of all surgeons. Comparatively, 12.7% of surgeons are Asian and 5.0% of surgeons are Hispanic or Latino.

• • White, 76.6%
  • 
    Asian, 12.7%

Press Slobber Over Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, but Inadvertently Expose She's Terrible at Her Job​

In what is being heralded as a triumph of diversity, Jackson used more words in oral arguments than any other justice over the last year. That’s being spun as evidence of her immense qualification and ability.










The fact that it took Chief Justice John Roberts over a decade-and-a-half before he wrote his first solo dissent should be a hint that writing three of them in a single term is not something to brag about. Solo dissents, by their very nature, should be incredibly rare and reserved for only the most extenuating of circumstances. Any justice making common use of them, much less writing three of them in a single first term, is advertising that their arguments are terrible and constitutionally illiterate, to the point that they weren’t able to garner a single other justice’s support.

That’s not to say there aren’t some exceptional situations where a solo dissent is justified, but it is to say that if a justice is writing three of them in their first term, the problem isn’t with the other justices. So, while the press proclaimed that Jackson “came to play,” all she really demonstrated is how inept and partisan she is.

And to be sure, this isn’t all hypothetical criticism. In her first term, Jackson managed to make several embarrassing mistakes. Here’s the most recent example.

If I were a guessing man I would guess that the lower survival rate has a lot to do with neo-natal care.

And many preemies are born addicted to drugs their "mothers" did while pregnant.
FWIW, my step sister is a nurse in the neo natal ward at a large hospital in NY. She can certainly attest to this. And how much it costs to try to bring these babies to normalcy, which many of them will never know.

However, that claim was strongly criticized by Ted Frank, a senior attorney with the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute, who said that it’s mathematically impossible.

“A moment’s thought should be enough to realize that this claim is wildly implausible,” wrote Frank in a Wall Street Journal opinion article, who filed an amicus brief in support of Students for Fair Admissions. “Imagine if 40 percent of black newborns died—thousands of dead infants every week. But even so, that’s a 60 percent survival rate, which is mathematically impossible to double. And the actual survival rate is over 99 percent. How could Justice Jackson make such an innumerate mistake?”

Mr. Frank asserted that the cited study “makes no such claims” and instead “examines mortality rates in Florida newborns between 1992 and 2015 and shows” a 0.13 percent to 0.2 improvement in survival rates “for black newborns with black pediatricians. There was “though no statistically significant improvement for black obstetricians,” he wrote.

The amicus brief filed by the Association of American Medical Colleges “either misunderstood the paper or invented the statistic,” he wrote, adding that the study appears to be flawed, too.

“There, the most highly specified model still shows an improvement in black newborn survival,” Mr. Frank wrote. “But if you know how to read the numbers—the authors don’t say it—it also shows black doctors with a statistically significant higher mortality rate for white newborns, and a higher mortality rate overall, all else being equal.”

During her confirmation hearing, she claimed that she wasn't very good at science. It would appear that she isn't any better at math.

Yesterday, NPR ran a story to warm liberal hearts headlined, “Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a longtime theater lover, makes her Broadway debut.” Ketanji Jackson, who plays a Justice on the Supreme Court, played a one-night, strategically ambiguous cameo role on Saturday night in a tedious, woke Romeo and Juliet remake.




CLIP: A taste of a Supreme Court Justice’s female empowerment (1:20).

Of the many delighted corporate media articles describing Justice Brown’s “dream come true,” an opportunity we do not begrudge Justice Brown, but who did not earn the unidentified role by merit but was invited by producers (motivated, no doubt, by an embarrassingly urgent need to sell tickets). In other words, she got the part based on who she was rather than on her acting talents.

This is especially ironic since some people —not me, of course— suspect similar considerations motivated the invitation she received for her other role.

In Hamlet —the original, not the woke remake featuring a cast of only native Hawaiian drag queens— Lord Polonius famously observed, “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Thus it is worth noting that, according to data analyzer Empirical SCOTUS, even among the female justices, Justice Brown is the Supreme Court’s wordiest judge:




I’m not saying logorrheic Justice Brown is the least intelligent Justice, or even implying she was a DEI hire. Shakespeare said and implied that. Look at the order of justices on Empirical SCOTUS’s word counts list, then consider just how right Lord Polonius was.

Justice Brown’s debut in her unidentified Broadway cameo was in a Tony-nominated “romantic comedy” titled ‘& Juliet,’ a progressive re-imagining of Shakespeare’s boring, patriarchal, racist codswallop. NPR described the new-and-improved production as “a modern take on Shakespeare's tragedy that imagines what would have happened if the female protagonist survived and took control of her own life.”

Pro tip: “modern take” means they couldn’t afford period costumes. That and NPR’s brief description is probably all you need to know to avoid the awful production, but here’s a little more. The play begins with Shakespeare’s “playfully reimagined” third-wave feminist wife, Anne Hathaway, creeping into the Bard’s writing room and rewriting his play’s ending, thereby rescuing the two lovers from death’s clutches and awarding them both new love interests.

Romeo, for example, is paired with a non-binary, cross-dressing man.

I mention these eye-rolling details to make a point about Justice Brown’s judgment. Progressives complained bitterly when a conservative justice’s wife flew a Christian flag. But they think this, Justice Brown pretend-acting in a trans-Shakespeare remake while the court is considering a transgender case is a terrific idea. Also NPR, just two weeks ago:



Relish all the joy.
