    Funny one from Ken White:

    It’s almost as if Jackson, as a district court judge, has experience dealing with irritating, performatively rude, mediocre white guys.

    Only non-witches get due process.

        The WaPo prints this, presumably with a straight face:

        Republicans boast they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. In fact, they’ve treated Jackson worse.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Was there ever a doubt she would be confirmed?

                I cant find the table (though I am sure it is out there somewhere), but it was a table showing the final votes for each Supreme court justice when the US senators voted on them.

                if I remember, judges nominated by Democrat presidents (at least in modern history) usually got a higher number of confirmation votes.

                Depending on which side you are on, both statements are true:

                1. Republicans are more willing to put bias to the side and vote strictly on qualifications
                  or
                2. Democrats are more likely to nominate judges who are more in the center and hold no political view.

                      Today's big Ketanji news is that she is unable to define what is a woman.

                      She was asked for her definition during today's hearing.

                      Her answer: no, I'm not a biologist.

                                      We become so concentrated on what a judge's opinions are, we forget that the ultimate arbiter is supposed to be the constitution, not whatever some judge thinks.

                                        And that's the whole point of the Declaration. Some rights are not bestowed on people by the government. We have them because we are human.

                                          Judge Jackson has submitted her responses to written questions. I haven't read through the entire packet, but I did find one error. She wrote on p. 64 of the PDF:

                                          Finally, I would note that I am pleased to be the sixth woman nominated to serve on the Supreme Court.

                                          Harriet Miers would beg to differ.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
