Reaching to new Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Senate confirmation vote, Friday’s CBS Mornings It was a victim to cartoonish fluff, hero worshipping Jackson and The “emotional,” “exciting,” And “proud” The moment so many wanted. “people…watch[ing]” that the country’s “collectively…beaming with…pride” for her.
Simply put, words like ebullient were insufficient to describe the 10-minute-and-three-second-long tsunami of gush that emanated from the CBS MorningsStudio located off Times Square
Gayle King was co-host and a Democratic Party donor. She is also a close Obama family friend. “front pages from newspapers all around the country really tell[ing] the story,”It is possible to predict that “a lot of people around the country watched this vote.”
If it wasn’t clear how much of a leftist King is, she added that “it was pretty exciting to see.”
Nikole Kinnillion, the Congressional correspondent, called it a “very emotional day”Thanks to “a moment of historic celebration”With “[c]heers…from the Senate floor” and “watch parties across the country.”
Killion was referring to her confirmation hearings. “The 51-year-old mother of two stood firm on her career accomplishments during the Senate hearings…despite some who tried to depict Jackson as soft on crime and a judicial activist.”
Speaking with grandstanding Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), Killion boasted: “What did this vote mean to you personally?”
King was a total fangirl after Killion’s wrap, claiming she would be back. “so look forward to” And “hope to meet her.” But for today, King said she “can’t imagine how [Jackson] must be feeling” and “[waking] up knowing” you “made history.”
“[A] very proud moment for a lot of people,”She added.
The Jackson coverage continued into the second half-hour by highlighting James Meredith, the plaintiff in a landmark Supreme Court case argued by Constance Baker Motley, one of Jackson’s idols.
King returned to the scene, and introduced Jericka Duncan as correspondent by laughingly claiming she “just love[s] saying…soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.”
Duncan, a Washington-based preteen who wants the Supreme Court to have a justice of the Supreme Court, returned with the table after the Meredith article. Duncan shared the fact that her grandmother and aunts came along for the hearing as they felt so. “inspired” By what President Biden did.
Co-host Nate Burleson then had a cringe take about how America’s “collectively…beaming” for Jackson (click “expand”):
KING I mean, you can’t help but look at it and think I’m so sorry it took this long —
BURLESON: Yeah.
KING: — when you look at the course of history, it’s — really sorry it took this place, but so glad that it has finally happened.
BURLESON: Yeah.
DOKOUPIL
KING: Yes.
DOKOUPIL: But, for the first time in the 230-year history of the Supreme Court –
KING: Yes.
DOKOUPIL: — the majority will not be white men.
DOKOUPIL: Yeah.
DUNCAN: We all have to start somewhere.
BURLESON: And one image comes to mind — you remember the committee testimony where her daughter — 17-year-old daughter Leila —
KING: This is what I love.
BURLESON: — was looking at her mother —
KING: The way she smiled was perfect.
BURLESON: — beaming with pride.
KING: Yes.
BURLESON: It seems like collectively as a country we are all beaming —
KING: Yep.
BURLESON: — with that same pride.
The King is such a nice analogy.
DUNCAN: Absolutely.
KING: This picture is so beautiful.
BURLESON: Yeah.
DUNCAN: Absolutely.
With more to say, King led off the 8:00 a.m. Eastern hour with more liberal fluff And insisted Jackson’s “an inspiration for everybody in this country” and “not just for black women or people of color.”
While still overwhelmingly positive, ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’sToday They had slightly higher levels of control over their faculties.
On ABC, congressional correspondent Rachel Scott griped that “Republicans headed for the door” after the vote tally while, after Scott’s 7:00 a.m. Eastern hour report, fill-in co-host Linsey Davis gushed that it was “[a] transformational moment for the court and country.”
NBC chief White House correspondent Peter Alexander chose to rehash the narrative from the Thursday night newscasts, cheering how more than half the justices won’t be white men.
Alexander concluded his story by admiring Senator Raphael Warnock (D–GA):
Yesterday, Kamala Harris gifted Raphael Warnock from Georgia, who is a black senator, stationery and a chance to write to his daughter. He wrote it to his daughter Chloe, in part saying, “she is the first Supreme Court justice who looks like you, with hair like yours, you can achieve anything you set your head and heart to do. We love you. Dad.
