Poll: Which SCOTUS nominee will be more qualified, Ketanji Brown Jackson or Amy Comey Barret?

[trenchfoot]

From the aspect of how and why the Repubs choose their supreme court nominees as compared with the Democrats, it becomes pretty obvious why the recent Repub nominees fall far short in the area of actual real life qualifications compared with the picks from the Dems. What the Repubs want are young conservative activist judges that can be tightly controlled by the Repub leadership and the corporatists that own their asses qualifications be damned, while the Dems are having to produce nominees that must have unquestioned qualifications that are able to convince a small number of Repubs to give their stamp of approval on.

I mean all you have to do is compare the last two Dem nominees with the last two Repubs that got seated and there's absolutely no argument as to whether the Dems or the Repubs put up more qualified nominees. It's all a matter of what the Repubs want out of their picks vs the Dems of which are worlds apart in the area of honesty, integrity and qualifications.

I'm certain the contrast previously described will more than reveal itself from the lower court picks that came out of the Trump admin. vs the ones that Biden are choosing.

Dark-money groups fighting Biden’s Supreme Court pick also funded Big Lie, Capitol riot | Salon.com

Conservative dark money groups that are fighting President Joe Biden's nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court also helped fund conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and rallies leading to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to a new report from the watchdog group Accountable.US.

So what exactly is the hold-up with KBJ's nomination and confirmation?

ACB managed to go from nominee to confirmed in something like 30 days.

We know one of the glaring reasons for that

But… those groups are anti democratic operations… how are they allowed to operate? And fuck “dark money” who is paying and how much. Steal the books.

Hawley’s going to a place that decent people have the good sense not to go.

Who said Republicans were decent people?
Josh Hawley’s nauseating attack on Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson - Vox

According to Josh Hawley
"Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker. She’s been advocating for it since law school. This goes beyond “soft on crime.” I’m concerned that this a record that endangers our children"

I would say Roy Moore and Matt Gaetz are more of a danger to children

Meanwhile let the less qualified white woman skate by in record time.

Most Republicans are pure evil garbage.... it really is disgusting.

Since she has no say as to who gets selected for the courts it is a meaningless question.

It's always pay back with Pubs, all the way back to Bork, which they still can't forget.

Well I guess from Hypocrite Mitch's point of view, only he can cram those judges into those court seats the way did.

They should but then you know repubs will just ignore it.

 

[NWRMidnight]

They should but then you know repubs will just ignore it.

Oh, they won't ignore it, they will attack it and call it a lie and fake news. And the conservatives will eat it up believing that she has no experience because they have been conditioned to believe anything these ass hats say. To the point they could watch one of these ass hats shoot their own mother right in front of them, and then the ass hat would deny it, and blame a democrat. They would believe him, and/or agree it was a democrat that shoot their mother, even though they witnessed the shooting, because they are that far gone.

In addition, millions of Repubs want to stay that far gone because the alternatives they've been presented with by their Ministry of Propaganda at the RNC and FOX are just as contrived as the reasons they should remain faithful to the party.

They're all wrapped up nice and neat, deliverable to any Repub condidate, yes, condidate that can best accomplish their party leader's primary goal of mimicking and exceeding Trump's ability toward convincing their party members that their emotions, rather than their common sense should be their guide toward picking who should best represent their misguided hyper-riled up emotions in gov't.

I'm surprised they dropped her being an affirmative action candidate, but they moved to supporting child abuse

Pretty good chart showing the relevant legal experiences between the justices and KBJ

While I think Jackson is amply qualified for SCOTUS and I hope she is confirmed forthwith, that chart is compiled by someone with a bias. Because the categories chosen as relevant experience are not all especially relevant. Some seem like arbitrary choices, until you notice that Jackson happens to check every box. So what is the relevance of going to a public high school instead of a private one? There isn't any. And what is the particular relevance of being a public defender as opposed to any other area of law? Why not make "District attorney" a category? Again, it seems arbitrary until you understand that the reason is because Jackson was a public defender, not a DA.

I caught the public high school vs private, however I think the public defender portion is actually down played in the infographic.

She would be the first justice to ever have been a public defender. Sure seems like that’s an important view point on the law that’s been missing from SCOTUS.

If they had included a line for DA / prosecutor it would have highlighted that.

She seems to be more qualified than all of the current Judges.

Even if you remove that from the equation KBJ is far more qualified then ACB. For Jackson to have any chance she has to be almost perfect. Can you imagine Jackson having any kind of shot with ACB's record?

 

[imported_tajmahal]

Are there any other kind? That's all we got

As opposed to blatant lies told by the Democrats and their shithole supporters. Of course i'm talking to a guy that really did think that Justice Kavanaugh was a serial rapist.

He was accused by a woman outside the political process. Not like your asshole favs accusing Jackson of supporting child abuse.

Since you are here who is more qualified KBJ or ACB?
I'll ask a different question, who is more qualified KBJ or Kavanaugh?

I see the Dems are being responsible and having a through hearing vs rushing through a less qualified white woman.
