Ketanji Brown Jackson is a fascist who should be removed from the Court

Ketanji Brown Jackson, is concerned the First Amendment is “hamstringing the government.”

That’s a 5-alarm fire of a pull-quote from a sitting Supreme Court justice, and she should absolutely be impeached and removed from the Court over it. I’m as serious as a heart attack here. Nearly every sentence of this single thought of hers adds up to textbook fascism, (a hybrid economic system in which the private economy exists but under strict state regulations, and must give way to the national interest, which is whatever the government says it is.) So, let’s go. First the full quote, directly from the SCOTUS transcript, followed by seven handpicked doozies worth analyzing:

JUSTICE JACKSON: So my biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods. I mean, what would -- what would you have the government do? I’ve heard you say a couple times that the government can post its own speech, but in my hypothetical, you know, kids, this is not safe, don’t do it, is not going to get it done. And so I guess some might say that the government actually has a duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information. So can you help me? Because I’m really -- I’m really worried about that because you’ve got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government’s perspective and you’re saying that the government can’t interact with the source of those problems.

She was one of the most ill-prepared, unprofessional nominees to ever be questioned and yet she was still appointed to check off a box. She's terrible.

She's right, which is what the 1A is supposed to do. People should have the right to speak out against their government without threat of lost freedoms.

She doesn't like it's designed intent, which is really bad.

This sounds exactly like the opinion of certain people on here and the 2nd Amendment

I'll match that. Elena Kagan had never held a judgeship before her appointment by Obama to the SC. She did a lot of clerking but no judging.

Let me ponder for a few moments what those two people have in common.

She clearly doesn’t understand the constitution and bill of rights. They purposely RETAIN the rights of the people so the government can’t infringe upon them. You can only hamstring someone or something in one of two ways

1) preventing them from doing something they have a right to do; or
2) preventing them from stopping someone they have a right to stop.

Neither is the case with the First Amendment. Anyone who believes otherwise should be immediately removed from office as failing to uphold their oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States.

Let's be honest, Zero was nothing before he became president. He was given a senate seat after a giant political scandal, and he held that seat for what a year maybe?

Before that what was he? A community organizer. That's like being a Waffle House regional manager but not having any restaurants to manage.

She's a puppet supreme. She was only placed in that position because she was female and black. So she'll do and say wtfever her puppeteers tell her. That way she's guaranteed to stay at that position for decades.

Ketanji Brown Jackson is a fascist who never should have been allowed anywhere near the Court.

Agree she should be removed, but for being a complete moron. An imbecile. An idiot.

This is how most Republicans think; "if lefties could just read more of the Federalist Papers, or letters from Thomas Jefferson, they'd get it!" The proper way to say this is the left doesn't understand, and doesn't care.

They give zero fricks, it's all about power.

They can interact with the sources of those problems which I assume she means Twitter, Facebook, etc. just like anyone else. The government is free to express their opinion on whatever the issue may be....They can't suppress others from expressing their opinion.

Republicans didn't confirm her. Romney, Murkowski, and Collins confirmed her.

This is the very definition of a progressive. They want to evolve beyond the constitution through 1) selective prosecution, and 2) the judiciary by establishing radical judicial precedent.
