Video shows Republicans walking out of the Senate chamber as Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed as the first Black female Supreme Court justice

Like Trumps "muslim ban"?
Trump said it, and then when Trump did it, it was unconstitutional.

trump never actually did it and his travel ban was upheld…read Trump v Hawaii

 

[WEATHER53]

no he said specially what he was going to pick.. stop lying

he’s a racist

We knew it would not be long before the “he never said that…you heard the words wrong” was rolled out

 

[meaner gene]

That does not answer why others were automatically and arbitrarily eliminated from consideration

Actually there's not proof of that. Remember BIden has selected more federal judges in his first year than Trump had. So Biden was only preferencing, since he was given the resumes of plenty of white male judges also.

Are you admitting to another Trump campaign promise he FAILED AT?

It's funny to see libs whining about how Jackson was treated when you consider how the democrats treated Kavanagh...

Such an idiotic talking point. You should be embarrassed of yourself.

Republicans walked out of the Senate chamber during a standing ovation as Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed as the first Black female Supreme Court justice in US history.

Video footage showed several Republican senators leaving their seats and heading to the exits as applause erupted in the chamber after the Senate voted 53-47 to confirm her to the Supreme Court on Thursday.

The one Republican senator filmed joining the applause as colleagues filed past was Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, who was one of only three moderate Republicans who voted to confirm Joe Biden's nominee. The others were Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.

CNN's chief political correspondent, Julia Borger, said that Republicans had shown "disrespect" toward Jackson, and singled out Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who she said had been late for the vote, and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who said he had not been admitted to the Senate chamber because he wasn't wearing a tie and had to cast his "no" vote from the cloakroom instead.

"Whether you agree with the outcome or not, you need to pay this woman the respect that she is due. And you need to do that for any Supreme Court nominee," Borger said.

Jackson's confirmation hearings were a grueling process, with the US appeals court judge at times subjected to questioning and accusations by Republicans that legal experts have denounced as unfair and misleading.

During the confirmation, Sen. Josh Hawley misleadingly claimed she had been lenient toward offenders guilty of child-sexual-abuse-image offences, in a line of attack criticized by the White House as a dog whistle to the far-right QAnon movement.

Sen. Tom Cotton baselessly claimed that she would have defended Nazi war criminals, falsely saying that she had chosen to defend Guantanamo Bay inmates while neglecting to mention the cases were assigned to her when she was a public defender.

In a sign of the deep partisan divisions in the Senate, the vote to advance Jackson's confirmation in the Senate Judiciary Committee was deadlocked, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer having to use a special procedure to advance the process to a full Senate vote.

The Grand Old Party, the party of inclusions. WAFJ.

This is a prime example why black folks don't support this party.

Whether you agree with her or not, this is a historic moment in this country's history and these cowards get up and walk out.

All right fine, first black female, this is a mile stone, great.

Did you have to pick someone so fucking shitty?

I mean she's qualified, but she fucking sucks dude. She can't even say what a woman is.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Such an idiotic talking point. You should be embarrassed of yourself.

Translation: Oh, shit. Yoh're right. I'm a fucking hypocrite. Imma insult you and run.

Demscum have no class.

 

[JusticeHammer]

You are showing who the racist is.

You

 

[DigitalDrifter]

And of course it's ALL about race, and has absolutely nothing to do with ideological differences.

 

[JusticeHammer]

Wormy disrespectful magaturd douchebag senators gonna disrespect. And that's why they get no respect in kind. Fuck em.

Fuck you.

 

[JusticeHammer]

I have no problem with any of the questioning but, as for the walk out, it was petty and classless.

Not as classless as the demscum have been.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

This should not be surprising. It is just another sign of the decline of America as each side sticks to their politics unable to come together on anything. What chance is their for any meaningful improvements in immigration, healthcare, Social Security, Medicare, drugs, or crime.

The only thing the two sides agree on is spending more money than we have.

 

[JusticeHammer]

Damn your respect, she is on the highest court in the land. She doesn't need your stinking respect.

Good, she doesn't deserve it.

 

[JusticeHammer]

Kavanaugh loved his beer, and attacked women while drunk.

Still lying. Demscum are idiots.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

The MAGA crowd will never respect her even if she rules in their favor 90% of the time. The Dems already respect her.

The rest of us will wait and see how she rules before judging her.

Give it a try!

She'll likely be part of the Sotomayor-Kagan tag team, and never rule the GOP way on anything.

 

[JusticeHammer]

You don't ever like the politics of black folks unless they are a boot licker like Ben Carson, Herman Cain, Alan Keyes, etc. and you turn on those clowns as well if it looks as though they might win something. Republicans are always talking about I would vote for a black man. Funny how that changes once you get into the voting booth.

Carson, Cain, and Keyes are all smarter than you idiots.
