Here are a few facts about Ketanji Brown Jackson:
- She frequently associates herself with a patriotic narrative of American history. “The first of my many blessings,” she told the Senate this week, “is the fact that I was born in this great nation.”
- She is not an advocate of critical race theory or other progressive ideas about education. She has never taken a public position on hot-button school issues like whether young children should be taught about gender identity.
- As a federal judge, she has a mainstream record, broadly typical of a Democratic nominee. She has often praised law enforcement, including her proud mention this week that her brother and two of her uncles worked as police officers.
You might not know any of this — you might well believe the opposite — if you spent the past few days listening to Republican senators or consuming many conservative media sources.
Get your facts straight about our next Supreme Court Justice! Jackson is a typical Democratic nominee who praises law enforcement, has no controversial opinions or progressive ideas, and will never interfere with our national interests!
That snippet honestly makes her sound like a 'moderate' conservative lmao. Then again, liberals trying to appease conservatives by expressing "look, we're like you but slightly different" has been standard operating procedure for decades at this point.
:same-picture:
I'd argue that one is more openly racist/sexist than the other; but that's really my point, with standard liberals these days the only real difference between them and conservatives is in that of aesthetics and presentation
