About The Confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

IN THE EARLY HOURS of insomnia, as I was thinking about what the brilliant Fredrick Douglass said in The Lessons of the Hour, I thought about this:

It is another way of saying that slavery is better than freedom; that darkness is better than light and that wrong is better than right. It is the American method of reasoning in all matters concerning the negro. It inverts everything; turns truth upside down and puts the case of the unfortunate negro wrong end foremost every time.

Which is, beyond  any honest argument, exactly what Lindsay Graham, Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Josh Halley, Marsha Blackburn and virtually the entire Republican-fascist caucus in the Senate and many of them in the House did in their vile attacks on probably among the most meritorious and morally upright candidates to be on the Supreme Court in its history, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.   And, while all of those named were from states of the former Confederacy, it wasn't, by any means, a regional phenomenon.  Other than the three Republicans who voted for her, it was a national Republican-fascist stand.  The slander and libel against her in the Republican and Republican-friendly media, online, proves that as well.  FOX is based in New York, it's fascist liars come from all over, Tucker Carlson is a San Franscisco product, Laura Ingraham comes from Connecticut.  They're probably worse in effect than even the scumbags like Blackburn and Graham, Cruz and Hawley, it's tempting to rank them in terms of their sliminess but there's really no need, all of them are sufficiently vile.   Almost as bad are those like Roy Blunt and the ever odious Chuck Gassley who certainly know that they've voted for and supported the likes of Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas who never had any business being on any court.  

John Roberts' lie that it was OK to overturn the Voting Rights Act because America was over racism of the kind it was made law to address is disproved more and more by his buddies and colleagues fellow Federalist Society fascist colleagues.  

America should face the fact that while we may have soothed our minds that fascism was a European phenomenon, we always had the same thing here, we just called it different names, just like they called slavery in the post-Civil War period other things while they were the same thing.  

If President Biden gets to make another nomination to the Court I hope he chooses another Woman.  Conceivably he could have the power to make it the first majority Women entity in Federal government.   I'll bet he could find someone like Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in class and poise and brilliance and moral stature.  None of the Republicans on the Court can touch her, especially in the latter category.
