Booker Speech

[Chillicothe]

She was asked to "DEFINE" Please keep up.

And the good poster Concerned moved the goal post to declare this mother of two teenage daughters can't tell the difference between women and men. ......And suggested she must divvy out 'Y'-chromosones to know the differenc.

You are trying too hard poster.
Settle down.

Our SCOTUS nominee saw a 'gotcha' question and sidestepped it.
Good for her.

Let the alert posters here tell us the difference between men and women.
And define the two.

Batter up, Concerned American.

What I find sad and amusing is that in the political climate we have had for going on six years now under the old 60 vote standard for confirmation to the Supreme Court you could not get any nominee no matter their qualifications confirmed. None of Trumps three nominees would have been confirmed and neither would Jackson.

You need to pay attention--I did no such thing. She was the one who could not answer the question. I moved nothing, I am just reiterating facts.

Our SCOTUS nominee saw a 'gotcha' question and sidestepped it.

Qualified justices don't sidestep questions, indeed the job requires that they take them head on.

Senator Booker moves Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to tears during emotional speech

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson was moved to tears during a stirring speech delivered by Senator Cory Booker on Day 3 […] The post Senator Booker moves Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson to tears during emotional speech appeared first on TheGrio.

“You have earned this spot. You are worthy. You are a great American,” said Sen. Cory Booker to Judge Jackson, who stands to become the first Black woman Supreme Court justice."

I'm curious.

Would he have made the same speech had Trump nominated a Black woman to SCOTUS, such as Janice Rogers Brown?

The justice Biden told GHW Bush he would filibuster if nominated?

Would have had had the same praise for ANY black woman Joe nominated, as long as they had a D behind their name?

Oprah Winfrey?
Whoopi Goldberg?
Stacy Abrams?

Would his peers on the panel have the same softball 'questions' for them?

Good for him....................while Cancun Cruz is on Twitter seeing if he's trending.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

She was asked to "DEFINE" Please keep up. She is being considered for a position that requires her to be able to articulate, clearly, her meaning and to be able to discover fact from fiction. As a judge on a circuit court where she has determined just that type of case she should be able to easily answer. Try again, or better yet go change the oil on your tractor--it probably needs it. Do you deal in animal husbandry? When was the last time you bred a cow with a cow or a bull with a bull? Can you tell the difference? SMH.

She automatically disqualified herself

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

So sayeth, poster Wild Bill.
Who, to date, has eschewed giving the forum his bona fides on opinionizing.....from an informed perspective.....on what makes a good SCOTUS Associate Justice.

In contradistinction, we have today, the American Bar Association in the hearings:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

American Bar Association says Jackson is ‘A-plus’ as final day of hearings begins​

"Representatives of the American Bar Association lauded the qualifications of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on Thursday, saying everyone they interviewed used terms such as “brilliant,” “beyond reproach,” “impeccable” and “A-plus” to describe her.

The testimony from the ABA — which has rated Jackson “well qualified” to serve on the high court — came at the outset of the fourth and final day of hearings on her nomination. Other outside witnesses called by Democrats and Republicans are also testifying Thursday on President Biden’s nominee.
Their appearances follow two days of questioning by committee members. Democrats repeatedly said Jackson would be a welcome addition to the court, while Republicans aggressively questioned whether she had been soft on crime as a federal trial court judge and public defender. ABA representatives said Thursday that their review did not support such criticism."

Fuck the Bar Association. Who gives a fuck what they think?

 

[Chillicothe]

Qualified justices don't sidestep questions,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our posters above, so far......have eschewed offering their bona fides that could give the forum confidence in their own qualifications to judge a Harvard lawyer, SCOTUS clerk, and Federal judge.

So, what we have here, in addition to a failure to persuade, but also a failure to instill confidence in these poster's judgement.

That's not necessairly too harsh of an indictment against them, ......after all being in credible positon to determine the abilities of a Federal judge considered for the SCOTUS...... is rare position.

And these two posters do not, evidently, possess those qualifications.
Nonetheless, we do have access to the judgment of folks who ARE qualified to judge Kitanji Jackson.

And that would be the ABA.

For example:
"On the final day of U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings, the American Bar Association said Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would make an excellent justice, based upon the association's discussions with 2,800 judges and lawyers.
The organization unanimously rated Jackson as "well qualified" to serve on the Supreme Court.

"Everyone we talked to, interviewed, or had substantive contact with uniformly gave the highest praise: brilliant, beyond reproach, first-rate, patient, insightful, impeccable, A+," said Judge Ann Claire Williams, chair of the ABA's Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that leaves the forum with two competing views:

A. The first, and clearly the most valuable to us is the ABA's.

-----versus----

B. Two anonymous chatroom posters offering their unqualified opinions under fake names on an internet chatroom.

Tough choice, eh?

and how is that different that comments from the board liberals during the Kavanaugh and ACB Hearings?

Thank you, Kelsoe.
Your articulate postings on this venue are always......... a good measure of your abilities and education.

Waytogoattaboy!

Doesn't matter. Moderate the board fairly. It's not about "getting back" at people.

This topics blows btw, you asked why Joe Biden doesn't nominate Oprah Winfrey for SCOTUS. I'd assume this kind of topic from Weatherman but not from a staff member.

You consider me a God, or something?

 

[PinktheFloyd88]

I think your consider yourself God hence this trolling Oprah Winfrey SCOTUS racist crap topic not being in the Rubber Room.

You think you're above the rules and that your topics can't be trolling.

You are asking my avatar?
Why?
How would we know?
We know nothing about who or how many on this venue are "board liberals".
You may need to give the forum your list of who you think qualifies for that categorization....and why you think that.

Considering the actions/questions of the Democrats on the Hearing panel, they would have the same chance of ending up on SCOTUS as Jackson.

Imagine that... A Leftist Political organization saying possible fabrications about a leftist Nominee for SCJ

And that would be the ABA.

For example:
"On the final day of U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings, the American Bar Association said Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would make an excellent justice, based upon the association's discussions with 2,800 judges and lawyers.
The organization unanimously rated Jackson as "well qualified" to serve on the Supreme Court.

But then there is this... Who knew?
Senator Ted Cruz pointed out at Wednesday’s hearing that eight of the 15 members of the ABA’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, which evaluates nominees, have together contributed at least $60,000 to Democratic candidates and related organizations, and donations to the campaigns of presidential nominees have gone exclusively to Democrats: Five members donated to Barack Obama’s campaign, three to that of Hillary Clinton, and none to the last three Republican nominees.

The organization’s ideological bias has long tainted its ratings of judicial nominees.
