Blackburn demands investigation into Justice Jackson over Grammy appearance applauding anti-ICE rhetoric

If she wasn't chanting "**** Ice", I'm not seeing a problem with her clapping for some speeches.

If she wasn't chanting "**** Ice", I'm not seeing a problem with her clapping for some speeches.

Because she is showing support for those who do.

Thus she is biased.

Had she actually been smart she would have not reacted. But she's not smart enough to do that.

So, they trade freedom of expression (speech) for those black robes? Who knew?
You're actually smart enough to know that absolutely nothing is going to happen to her for doing that.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn questioned whether Jackson's attendance at event with anti-ICE rhetoric violates Supreme Court conduct rules.​

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is urging U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to launch an investigation into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson over her attendance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday amid anti-ICE rhetoric from celebrities and artists at the event.

Jackson was in attendance at this year's politically-charged event because of her nomination for narrating the audiobook version of her memoir, "Lovely One."

However, critics said Jackson clapped as various speakers criticized U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The stupidity and racism just doesn't stop.

The woman was up for an award.

Because she applauded, Blackburn is such a snowflake.

Really? Being black automatically disqualifies you, unless of course unless you buck dance like Uncle Thomas.

Why is it that if you support Thomas but not Jackson, you're a racist, but if you support Jackson and call Thomas an Uncle Tom, you're not?

In both cases, you are supporting one back and opposing one black. That cannot be explained by racism. To imply that it does is a logical fallacy.

So basically, they assume anyone who is black doesn’t deserve to get into Ivy League schools.

But they don’t want to be considered racists.

Nobody said that.

Why is it that you libs try to win arguments by making up things your opponent never said?!

You assume Justice Jackson didn’t deserve to get into Harvard, solely because of her race.

They wear the robe on our bench, and the job they do for us is not considered freedom of expression.
They should conduct themselves according, and that should not require us to do anything to correct them.

You assume Justice Jackson didn’t deserve to get into Harvard, solely because of her race.

Harvard made no pretense about giving preference to blacks and other minorities in admissions.

If they had used color-blind admissions, would Jackson still have gotten in? We'll never know, but there will always be a cloud over Jackson's - and Thomas' heads because of it.

Thomas has himself admitted that racial preferences probably helped him get into Yale, and yet he opposes such practices as inherently unfair.

Yeah, they do. I'm surprised you don't understand that.

 

[Lisa558]

You assume Justice Jackson didn’t deserve to get into Harvard, solely because of her race.

Yes, because it is well known that Harvard lowered admissions standards for blacks, and that whites with superior academics get rejected. How else does someone who ranks #20 in her class get in, when 99.9% of valedictorians - IF THEY ARE WHITE - get rejected?

You libs want it both ways: you want to lower standards for blacks, and then deny they were admitted due to lower standards.

I read a bit of one of her opinions: amateurish, showed little interest in the law, and certainly not representative of the best. This is why the other justices dislike her.

Harvard sent out “invite” letters to high school seniors, and they had different cut-off points depending on their race. They required 1300 SAT from Asians but barely 1100 from blacks.

Does Harvard make admission decisions based solely on class rank?

Since she graduated magna cum laude, she clearly performed better than a great many of those poor white kids you’re so worried about.

She wasn't on the bench, duh. Should our president also conduct himself accordingly, because he seems to struggle bigly with that.

 

[d0gbreath]

Yeah, they do. I'm surprised you don't understand that.

Why doesn't the president have to do that?

And she was given a chance OVER the poor white kids who were academically superior. Why should some poor white kid who ranked #1 in his high school class lose out to someone who is not as academically impressive just because she’s black? How is that not racist?

Thank GD they didn’t have all this AA and DEI nonsense when my father was a poor white kid who WAS #1 in his class. He made it out of poverty due to his superior intelligence, ability, and demonstrated academic ability. Thank GD he wasn’t skipped over for a black person who wasn’t nearly as good simply because he was white.

Our President is not a Supreme Court Justice, nor will that ever excuse how Justice Jackson conducts herself.
That applies to any Justice on the Supreme Court.

You mean the kids who were the valedictorians of their school and might have graduated summa cum laude if Harvard admissions hadn't put their thumb on the scale for Jackson? Those poor kids?

Class rank is a very poor measure of academic strength, especially when comparing across widely different geography.

By your logic, no one should get into Harvard unless they were ranked first in their class.

(I have no idea where you heard what her high school class rank was anyway, you could be making it up for all I know)

That applies to any Justice on the Supreme Court.

Applied by you of course. To the ones you don't like. Make sure to give Clarence Thomas a pass.
