  1. What an amazing human being! She embodies the best of us.

  2. CONGRATULATIONS Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson on your historical nomination and soon-to-be appointment as the first black-woman Supreme Court Justice. After 115 prior Justices, in 233 years of this country's existence. It's sad and comical to see some white Republicans loose what little minds they had left over this obviously "supremely" qualified woman. She literally checks more boxes than all three of Agent Orange's picks put together. Yes, CONGRATULATIONS indeed!!

  3. I love listening to Judges ! Judge Judy ! But I loved listening to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson , I didn't want it to end , just as I love listening to Mr. Lester Holt !

  4. I Thank God Almighty for Special People like Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson , her speech , her gratitude. Her excellent presentation , her beautiful Name combination African American. Her beautiful daughters and supportive Husband and Parents ,the list goes on and on !
    Congratulations 🙏🙏🙏

  5. It's a great day for America! Thank you, God!

  6. Is there racism in politics? It seems like every high profile appointment, the candidate has a spouse from different race to please the other side.

  7. Bs, bs, bs. She’s full of it!

  8. Elegant & historical!

  9. Her record of leniency on Pedophiles needs to be explained!

  10. based on her statement on transparency and facts to republicans is like sunshine to vampires

  11. Some really triggered white people in these comments

  12. Congratulations 👏🎉👏🎉🎉🎉

  13. Black is a color it is not a nationality all human beings should live within their nationality.

  14. I don’t have any idea why I cried hearing her speech. So genuine!

  15. I hope she is not confirmed. Check her history! It is scary!

  16. The media acts as if because shes black and a woman she is above reproach… i can see where this is going😂😂

  17. What a gracious, dignified, and eloquent statement.

  18. She is a winner regardless! When you have a loving and supportive family especially a husband you can move mountains. We pray for a smooth confirmation to the highest court.

  19. Congrats. I’m thankful we have her in our Supreme Court.

  20. The poetic vision of the law and what is law and order that you found inspiring is fine. Laws beget order and order is a need. Poetic vision aside the need for absolute clarity is priority. Absolute clarity is rear given the human mind that with many dismissal of fact and instead proceeding on faith is common place. Faith is not an absolute. Hope is not an absolute. forgiveness is just foolishness. The true nature of faith is hope. The True nature of forgiveness is manipulation. If someone violates you without intent, you may trust them again, but, there will always be some degree of doubt. If someone violates you with intent there shall never in this natural world be forgiveness, unless you are born a fool. It is not natural to forgive and what is not natural is not true for most condition and is a manipulation. I know you are capable of the supreme court set. I don't agree with your diluted faith. or Hope. Hope never floated any boat. The nature of the structure did, or the design. Structure is not poetic. Structure gains life or death peace or war in it's design. From structure the human species finds order as in all thing. Balance toward what is truth and in fact natural and one finds order. One example. What is abortion other then natural in this world. I don't like thinking of destroying human life but then It is not my choice. Murder is without need and killing shall be forever a need. In defense of self. I have no say in someone else's consideration of defense of self. Murder is not defense of self and is without need. There is very much so absolute clarity in the boundaries of such things. If one looks very close. So many walk free guilty of murder and many more don't walk free from acts of self defense as others make their personal faith judgement. Mankind has been in criminal progress for thousands of years and the most apparent event in this world right now is the war in Ukraine. One individual so arrogant that it was his choice to make life or death for so many more that had never in any way threatened his existence. And so it goes.

  21. sh*t, that voice….. she needs to be blocked…

  22. Yeah, not feeling her for this role. Definitely seems out of her league.

  23. Why we don't pick from a run off an election by the people why they specifically want a black person??
    Isn't this a form of Racism,???

  24. The best thing that ever happened to you is marring a whatever y’all African Americans 🤦‍♀️

  25. She need to stop lying to the African-American community and let them know she's from South Africa

  26. Judge Brown Jackson, you’re hired!

  27. Many Congrats, Judge Brown!

  28. Good luck Judge Brown-Jackson remarkable and your are ready for this moment regardless of what others think

  29. She is very smart she done all good pick.

  30. Unqualified defund the police judge.
    Only one year on the appellate court.
    Biden didn't want Justice Thomas a black man who didn't need affirmative action.
    I guess Biden forgot about that.

  31. Seeing her husband cry because he’s so proud of her is so touching ❤️4:35

  32. Against against the system races placed cops so she just a puppet being used all she has she been used

  33. It is night and day difference how Republicans conduct themselves during these kind of hearings opposed to how disgusting Democrats have conducted themselves during these judicial hearings. It's not politically correct to say this but I'm going to the women democrat senator's are by far the most disgraceful of all senators in this nations history. That's saying a lot! Those democrat women are completely and utterly disgusting and people of the lowest sort.

  34. She is only there due to her race.
    I pray for Justice Clarence Thomas to have a speedy recovery.

  35. I hope you won’t be a puppet.

  36. Jackson is a semi-literate radical and not worthy of this position. Biden, like a useless president, appoints unqualified people – Harris, Lloyd Austin, Jackson, Buttigieg. Blacks predominate – do we live in Africa? Or are the most backward in America now making history?

  37. She gives out only genuine goodvibes! Ppl are so fixated on 'race' these days but this judge comes across well-rounded!

  38. Pro vaccene mandate judge not trusted

  39. Black Queen! Lets get it! Liberty, and justice, FOR ALL!

  40. The fact that BTC continues to bleed is really scary, and traders are now wondering if this is the right time to invest… before you come to a conclusion, you should look at things first. In recent days, the price of BTC has been fluctuating, which means that the market is currently unstable and it is impossible to say whether it will go down or up. While others continue to trade without fear of losses, others are patient. It all depends on the pattern you are trading and also the source of your signals. I would say that trading is going smoothly for me, I started with 2.5 BTC and in just few weeks I have accumulated over 9.6 BTC, using the trading strategy from my coach Mike Howard..
