Ketanji Brown Jackson Sworn In To The Supreme Court
source
She becomes the first African American 'birthing person' on the U.S. Supreme Court according to A O-C (her own weird language reacting to the Roe decision)! But it's not that weird apparently. Remember in her nomination hearing, Brown-Jackson when asked to give the definition of a woman said she couldn't!
Only in the US where its judges are political appointee. It must be the greatest joke in the world where a judiciary system run and rule by on behest of politicians.
Congratulations Justice Jackson!
Has she figured out what a woman is yet or maybe she became a biologist??
I happy for her. I'm happy are supreme count is one inch more diverse just like our country. I wish death to the justices who took the rights away from so many women.
This makes me sick knowing Kavanaugh and Barret took this same Oath
It's a very sad day for America and Americans..for this awful women to become a justice today..she is so far left she has no idea what direction the right way is..she couldn't even say what a women was..completely pathetic..and if you support this garbage then you're just as pathetic as her..
Congratulations Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson!
Today has marked a historic moment in American history
You are now the first black women to serve on the Supreme Court
The third black justice to serve on the court
(1st: Thurgood Marshall and 2nd: Clarence Thomas)
And the sixth women to serve on the court
You deserved this moment Ketanji
I have been praying for this day
And my prayers been answered
You will do great things on the court Justice Jackson
Thank you we all have your trust
MAGNIFICENT😊
i guess she figured out, what a woman is.
She is being sworn in to work with biased liars. Good luck hon Jackson.
I Ketanji Brown Jackson do solemnly swear that I will defend against enemies of the US, including my fellow Justices… I promise never to be like the others who bear false witness.
Black Jan 6 hearing chairman Bennie Thompson called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an 'uncle tom'. He should be asked if he also has another name for Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who can't define what a woman is.
I'm to understand that racism and sexism are for the shallow. Remember, this woman (congrats BTW), was nominated solely for her RACE and her GENDER.
Democrats hypocrisy could not be on fuller display.
But HEY….. congrats again.

"The Constitution and the Laws of America" … here in Russia , russienn laws , are , also , called the "positive Law" because they represent the amount of laws actyually Legal at work in Russia …..
🥳 KBJ ❣️…
Please , FLAG me as a person , Milosevic Svetozar , who , has big "menthal reservations" vis – a – vis the USA & its interests in this World , sometimes !!!!!!!!
"And do equal right to the poor and to the rich."
The Conservative justices violate this oath over and over again. They should all be impeached.
Hope she’s figured out the definition of a woman
She needs to be stopped and frisked every morning before she is allowed in!
Help us please
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🥳🍾🎊🎊
Hopefully, in the weeks since she was confirmed, she has undertaken to understand the definition of, "woman." Otherwise, she should recuse herself from any case that deals with women.
Just what we need a sleeper in the Supreme Court
I’m so Proud 🥲
Congratulations Justice Jackson!
Congratulations, Justice Jackson. Trump is turning over in his Grave.
Can she define what a woman is yet?
Now she's actually telling the truth when swearing in, Congratulations Justice Jackson!!!
If you're racist and you know it, complain in the comments about what a woman is.
That’s was beautiful and very emotional 🥹 Congrats 🎊🍾🎉🎈
Let’s get 4 more democratic judges in there. Pack the court like Trump did.
Ooooh I bet fox news is having a racist attack!
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” – Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.”
– William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783
“On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”
– Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
– Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
Yes
“[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist.”
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10 1788
“What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty …. Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins.”
– Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17 1789
“Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?”
-Patrick Henry,, Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution
“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”
– Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison January 30, 1787
The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self defense is not “a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.” McDonald, 561 U. S., at 780 (plurality opinion). We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government offic-ers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant’s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self defense. New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment in that it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms. We therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
Supreme Court of The United States of America, 2022.
I'm so happy for her!
Ps: people in the comments need to stop with their racism. It just shows how uneducated you are
