@josh_hammer 1/23 It amazes me how many morons there are in this country, who think because they landed a Senior editor-at-large position, give good editorials. Josh Hammer has Ketanji Brown Jackson ALL wrong, and probably doesn't even realize that his statement, one among

2/23 numerous OTHER idiotic statements he made in his op-ed "Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is an insult to the US Supreme Court" is WAY off base. Mr. Hammer stated: "Simply put, serious countries do not elevate arguably unqualified dimwits to public positions of extraordinary

3/23 prominence". Unqualified? Dimwit? I can think of at least FOUR Justices who fit that description MUCH better than Mrs. Jackson, like Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Barret, four justices who have thrown out our constitution in their bowing down in fealty stance to a POS who has

4/23 them in his pocket. Jackson is NOT, and she rules by the LAW and our constitution. This SCOTUS is CORRUPTED by 6 conservative morons who are giving Trump KING like powers. They are WORTHLESS. Justice Jackson's educational background which NO other Justice can claim, consists

5/23 of:
1. She served on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for nearly EIGHT YEARS, giving her more trial court experience than ANY sitting Supreme Court justice and more than any justice since Edward Sanford, who was nominated to the Supreme Court

6/23 in 1923.
2. She is only the second sitting justice to serve at all three levels of the federal judiciary. Only Justice Sonia Sotomayor has also served as a District judge, Circuit judge and Supreme Court justice, making both of them excellent assets to this court. Jackson

7/23 brings more years of experience as a judge than four of the sitting justices COMBINED.
3. Jackson has more than eight years of experience as a judge; that’s more than Justices Thomas, Roberts, Kagan and Barrett had COMBINED when THEY were confirmed.
4. She is the first

8/23 public defender to become a Supreme Court justice in the history of the Court.
5. She is the first justice with substantial criminal defense experience since Thurgood Marshall retired in 1991.
6. In 2021 Jackson was confirmed to the United States Circuit Court for the public

9/23 defender to become a Supreme Court justice in the history of the Court.
5. She is the first justice with substantial criminal defense experience since Thurgood Marshall retired in 1991.
6. In 2021, Jackson was confirmed to the United States Circuit Court for the District of

10/23 Columbia with the support of Republican Sens. Murkowski, Collins, and Graham; if REPUBLICANS support a LIBERAL judge, she must be pretty DAMN good.
7. Former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan: “My praise for Ketanji’s intellect (doesn't sound like a

11/23 dimwit to me!), for her character, for her integrity; it is unequivocal".
8. The Boston Globe: “A sterling educational background, a distinguished track record on the federal bench, and a reputation for both brilliance and an even judicial temperament. … A reputation as

12/23 brilliant and meticulous”. I have NO IDEA how in the HELL you came up with your statement about Mrs. Jackson being unqualified when she is MORE qualified than ANY OTHER Justice on the SCOTUS bench. Apparently you have NO clue how to research shit.
9. Vox: “Well qualified

13/23 for the job. … Significant judicial experience.” I think I will believe Vox and NUMEROUS others about how well qualified she is over YOUR complete misrepresentation of her experience, qualification, and brilliance.
Not ANY of the six conservative judges on the SCOTUS bench

14/23 possess ANY integrity, choosing to rule in a PARTISAN fashion, throwing out the constitution and choosing to give Trump King like powers. Another idiotic statement, and I can't list them all, is this one: "Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an

15/23 imperial Judiciary". There is NO "imperial" Executive; this isn't fucking Japan. As a matter of fact, it is WHY the founders tasked the Judiciary with keeping checks on the Executive...they KNEW a rogue President would try and usurp our laws and seize power unto himself,

16/23 and the Judiciary is a guardrail to prevent that from happening. They are doing their constitutional job, and are NOT overstepping their authority! Thank GOD we have people like Mrs. Jackson on the bench, who makes her rulings based on the LAW and our CONSTITUTION! What

17/23 the 6 conservative justices are allowing Trump to do makes ne want to HURL. Granting him immunity, which Mrs. Jackson commented on in her dissent, was the WORST thing they could have done, basically telling Trump he could do anything he wants with NO fear of being charged

18/23 for any actions he took as "president". The founders of the constitution FEARED a rogue President would try and seize power, and this CORRUPT, bungling bench of conservative justices are helping him DO IT. I wonder...did you write your ridiculous opinion on Mrs. Jackson

19/23 because she's black? Because NONE of your ranting opinion is even anywhere NEAR the truth. And what the Republicans have done signing this bill is the WORST offense EITHER party could EVER do to the American people, and Mike Johnson out here trying to put a disguise on a

20/23 pig, looking directly into the camera and LYING to us is DESPICABLE. He KNOWS what is in this bill, as well as ALL the other Republicans, will severely HURT the American people, but fealty to Trump takes all precedence. Scared, SPINELESS cowards who have allowed a man to

21/23 bully them into submission. Embarrassing! This "big beautiful bill" will take ONE TRILLION...that is a one with 12 zeros...1,000,000,000,000 away from Medicare, and 250 BILLION from SNAP, or food benefits. And yet Trump and other Republicans look in the camera and LIE to

22/23 our faces, stating it will create jobs and make America stronger. It WON'T. It WILL add another FOUR trillion to our deficit...added to the EIGHT trillion his 1st term. It will cause 16 MILLION Americans to lose their health insurance and require hospitals in rural areas to

23/23 close. The people hardest hit will be Trump's OWN supporters and Republican politicians their constituents. They don't FUCKING CARE! We WILL primary EVERY single Republican who signed that bill and FUCKED us...watch us!!
