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

justoffal.. Your post #240 is a hoot. However, I do not believe that this pick was basically nearly 100% based on skin color. Far more important qualifications were also at play. The powers that put her into power are confident that she will pull her power when her powers are needed.
 
Ok she’s in and I can accept the reality of outcomes
Next is the first big moment. I hope it’s better than Obama’s which was embarking on the international apology tour. I fear we will see things from her offering criminals as being victims of society and needing leniency
 
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.
You're right, she should have been treated like Clarence Thomas, Amy Barrett, and Brett Cavanaugh.

She is easy on pedophiles, a disgrace to our country.

Your pissing and whining is pathetic ... You just wanted them to stand there and clap ... What a virtue signaling sissy.
If they voted against her confirmation, why the hell would they stick around for a Standing Ovation?

You just keep proving that your bullshit is nothing more than theater ... :auiqs.jpg:

I do not know, I guess the same reason they did so for every other nominee whether they voted for confirmation or not

So, in other words , you are going to pretend you know who they stood for regardless their vote in the past.

Then you are going to additionally devalue the idea anyone would stand for anyone as a matter of merit ...
Because you think they all should have stood there for no other reason than to play along with the actors on the stage.

Damn you people are pathetic ... :auiqs.jpg:

Basic common courtesy. Perhaps you read about it or something since you lack any semblance of it

Sweetie ... I have never been fond of the Assclowns in the Shitshow on Capitol Hill ... And don't hide it.
If you need to play along with the bullshit to feel better about yourself ... That is not my problem ... :auiqs.jpg:
