Biden to nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to Supreme Court

If Ms. Jackson was applying for work on the Savanah that would be an important distinction.

@Copper In your own way you are conceding that such rights are conferred by society and don’t inhere to us by nature.

Only if rights are necessarily enforceable. Maybe we have unalienable rights that don’t happen to be enforceable except by society. Or by being awesome at fighting.

Despite a 11-11 tie in the committee, her nomination will proceed to the floor, where she will be confirmed.
Romney
Collins
MurkowskiHave all said, "Yes" to her nomination.
Even if they had said "No," her confirmation was a foregone conclusion if all Democrats voted in her favor - because of the tie-breaker: UPS Gal.

It's about time. Now we can put all that talk about skin color behind us.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
And if you don't believe that, you should not be a citizen of this country.

anybody to whom that messaging resonates, as compared to what was done to Kavanaugh, is a bona fide indoctrinated imbecile. There are millions and millions...

Heh...
Of course. We have long since established on TNCR and related forums that a natural inclination towards pretentious, self satisfied status seeking predicts leftist politics within current American society. What is most fascinating is that indoctrinated mainstreamers continue to consider themselves counter culture, simply because the idea that the mainstream is counter culture is one of the many ideas they are indoctrinated into, without rational reflection or self awareness. These are evolved apes.

It goes both sides when you look at the votes.
With some exceptions, most of the people nominated are qualified. The reason they are voted against is because of their "philosophy", not their "qualification".

Probably the only arguably unqualified candidate in my lifetime was Harriet Myers.

Pretty simple decision tree. If a rational response would contradict the pop cultural mass outrage of the moment, that same pop culture that floated you to your high status perch atop the culture, you simply shut your mouth. Same decision tree that produced the timeless "I'm not a biologist" gem.

Has any other SCOTUS justices publicly commented on this? This may become a First Amendment case to be heard by the SCOTUS in the future. Publicly commenting on it now may become grounds for recusal later on.

ETA: An appropriate answer to the third question would be, "As a judge, my job is to determine whether actions break the law, after cases are brought by prosecutors. The law in this case is clear. I leave it to the Justice Department to see that it is enforced."

The idea that Homo sapiens possess 'natural' rights is objectively false.
Go back 30,000 years on the Savanah and tell me what 'natural rights' we had.
The only way the sentiment can really be understood is as an 'ought', not an 'is'.
Something more like "there exist a set of fundamental rights that all humans should have, and society should recognize and respect those rights"

That is a dangerous, scary way of seeing the issue. And I disagree with that 1000%.

Ok, then feel free to correct me. What natural rights did Homo Sapiens possess on the savanna 30,000 years ago?
Only non-witches get due process.
