Marsha Blackburn + Josh Hawley = Kennelmates

Needing an election-year straw-man punching bag, numerous Republicans, including Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Josh Hawley of Missouri — who had three times previously approved Judge Jackson’s three earlier Federal judicial nominations, most recently in April last year to the D.C. Circuit — suddenly falsely accused the judge of being lenient toward child sexual abusers, in effect, not merely being an ideological moral equivalent, but much worse, as a promoter of such crime. Fact-checkers say such malicious slurs are not only fictitious, but deliberately misleading, and that Judge Jackson’s sentencing decisions were 100% in line with her peers on the Federal bench.

Hawley is Blackburn’s kennelmate, her own in-bred ideological offspring.😎🤣🧐😳

Full Senate Approves Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson as the 116th Supreme Court justice.

The Senate voted 53 to 47 to confirm her nomination to the United States Supreme Court, primarily along party lines, with all 50 Senate Democrats, including the 2 independents who caucus with them — Bernie Sanders of Vermont, and Angus King of Maine — voting for Judge Jackson’s confirmation.

They were joined by three Republicans: Senators Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

When she is sworn in this summer following the anticipated retirement of Justice Breyer, Judge Jackson will be the first Black woman to serve on the nation’s highest court.

To date, 3 Blacks have served on the SCOTUS: Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993) who was nominated by Lyndon Baines Johnson, and began service in 1967; Clarence Thomas (b.1948) who was nominated by POTUS George H. W. Bush, and began service in 1991; and now, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (b.1970) nominated by POTUS Joseph R. Biden, Jr., who is anticipated to join the highest court sometime this summer, perhaps by June, or July, before the next session starts, shortly after the anticipated retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer — for whom she clerked, and will replace, after he formally retires this summer.
