Like everyone expected, President Joe Biden appointed Judge Ketanji brown Jackson, a woman of color, to the Supreme Court.

Jackson is currently a member of the U.S. Court of Appeals, District of Columbia. If confirmed, she would be the first black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court.

Jackson would succeed Justice Stephen Breyer. He recently declared his retirement.

Democrats Are Focused on History, Not Record

Several of Jackson’s rulings have been overturned by higher courts. D.C. was involved in one of Jackson’s cases. The majority of the Circuit judges were Democrats and determined Jackson was correct to revoke a Trump-era rule. However, there wasn’t legal basis for doing so.

Another case which involved expansion of the Department of Homeland Security definition determining which non-citizens could be deported, Jackson’s decision was overturned. 

Still another of Jackson’ rulings was thrown out because in three collective bargaining orders, again the D.C. The Circuit Court ruled that Jackson was not competent to rule in the case.

Jackson’s Back Story With Clarence Thomas

Clarence Thomas will soon be Ketanji Jackson’s new colleague, should she be confirmed. While clerking for Justice Stephen Breyer, Jackson says she sat across from Thomas and thought, “I don’t understand you.” 

A report from ABC News about Jackson “not understanding” Thomas – because he is a black man who is conservative – comes to some very interesting conclusions, but not the ones they might have intended. Jackson and Thomas both come from the same backgrounds. Both were born into working class families in South Carolina, went to predominantly white college, and came away with differing ideologies.

“Scholars” who spoke to ABC speculate that the presence of Jackson would somehow be beneficial for Thomas to come around to the “correct” way of thinking for black Americans.

A senior GOP official, who happens to be black, confirms the “if you are a black conservative you are not really black” premise put forth by Democrats.

“There is a notion out there that if a Black person’s thought pattern, or vote, or disposition is not liberal, then it’s wrong. … If Clarence Thomas makes an opinion and it happens to be conservative, it is automatically thought to be against the Black community just because it’s conservative and not liberal. It’s a sad state when your Blackness is questioned just because of your political affiliation.”

Memory Lane: A trip down

Joe Biden, the Democrats, are too busy trying to pander to minorities. A trip down memory lane may be in order. Joe Biden was able to give green light to a woman of color on the Court in 2003.

Then-Senator Joe Biden successfully filibustered Judge Janice Rogers Brown’s nomination by President George W. Bush to sit on the very court Ketanji Jackson sits on now. Biden told President Bush then that he’d nominate her again to the Supreme Court if necessary.

After Justice Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement, and Rogers Brown was known to be on Bush’s short list of nominees,  Biden promised, “I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered.”

What’s the difference Joe? You don’t have to answer that. The difference between the two is obvious. Ask Clarence Thomas.
