She's just doing what she's told. And that's why she was put on the bench.

This is the simplest explanation of why Alito is pissed in his response. Essentially, the Justices voted within hours of the Callias hearing and had a decision then, yet the opposition obviously slow walked it back for political means. Worse, they were lazy in doing so and only wrote one dissent.

"This is the simplest explanation of why Alito is pissed in his response. Essentially, the Justices voted within hours of the Callias hearing and had a decision then, yet the opposition obviously slow walked it back for political means. Worse, they were lazy I. Doing so and only wrote on dissent."

I pulled up the decision to get a better feel for what what was going on, and my first thought was that the Alito concurrence (joined by Gorsuch and Thomas) was a little over the top and that KBJ's dissent was only so bad with the exceptions of the "principles giving way to power" stuff at the end. I figured that is what triggered Alito et al. I had breezed over, however, the part about the conference being 7 months ago. It makes much more sense for Alit et al to be upset if the dissent engaged in partisan foot dragging. Regardless, it is interesting to see that neither Kagan nor Sotomayor chose to join KBJ in railing against the supposed injustice.

Am quite old and the mental, justification gymnastics of the Left have become quite boring. Rarely based in analytical thought from beginning to end. The hyperbolic musings are from a decades old playbook with only the agenda of the moment in flux.

If that was the case, Thurgood Marshall would have been impeached based on many of his blatant decisions.

I cannot decide if KBJ should be impeached, or left in place to do and say the same kind of partisan hate speech …..the result being she is the poster child for DEI and all conservatives should use her as an example of such in their election campaigns.

It was a 51-48 vote. If they hadn’t voted for her, she wouldn’t have been confirmed.

Huh?

Help me with the math.

The U.S. Senate confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court on April 7, 2022, by a 53-47

Take away Romney, Murkowski and Collins from the left and slide them to the right.

50-50

Tie would have gone to Kamala's vote.

She is black and Biden promised a woman of color on the Supreme Court.


Yeah, If I were the leadership of Iran, and I saw her on the USSC, I'd continue to hold out for eternity.

Is there any chance that KBJ will step down from the court?

Unwinding the stolen 2020 election is the only remedy.

We are living a a world in which we are fed the most outrageous statements and acts by our political rivals. That’s why they think we are nuts and we think they are. If the leftists would read the center right, and the right would read the center left, there would be a lot of “a ha” moments.
