Joe Biden’s nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace retiring Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer was controversial from the beginning. This controversy only grew after four days of heated questioning from Republican members on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
We’re talking about a Woman who claims she can’t define “woman“ because she’s not a biologist, doesn’t support minimum sentencing requirements for child porn offenders, and tried to dance around questioning from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — not a wise idea in and of itself — on whether she supports the tenets of Marxist-derived Critical Race Theory. KBJ is a leftist radical by all measures.
Yet, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) — often lauded by “our side” as damn near the best thing since sliced bread — announced in a statement on Friday he will vote to confirm KBJ, as reported by Fox News.
After meeting her, reviewing her past, carefully observing her testimony, questioning her before the Senate Judiciary Committee this Week, I’ve decided I will vote for her nomination as Supreme Court Justice.
Her wide array of experiences in varying sectors of our judicial system have provided Judge Jackson a unique perspective that will serve her well on our nation’s highest court.
She was friendly and warm during our meeting. She has an impressive resume and the personality to be an outstanding jurist.
“Warm and gracious” and refusing to define “woman” are hardly related, Joe.
I’m generally amused — or left scratching my head — by conservatives singing the praises of the likes of Krysten Sinema and Tulsi Gabbard simply because they stand against the most radical elements of the Democrat Party. Joe Manchin can be added to this list.
Manchin, just like Sinema, Gabbard, is a strong Democrat.
Confusing the West Virginian Democrat’s refusal to support Biden’s potentially-disastrous Build Back Better legislation or Joe’s constant lying about ever-increasing oil and prices with the notion that Manchin would — or should — ultimately switch parties has always been a fool’s game. Just as it will always be a fool’s game with Sinema and Gabbard. Joe Lieberman back in those days.
The bottom line: In the end, your political “enemy’s” “enemy” is not always your “friend.”
Fox News reported that Jackson could be confirmed by the Democrat-controlled Senate as soon as April.
