  1. The white supremacist are angry.

  2. I love reading comments. I used to shy away from them. But the more I read the more I realize. Dems, Repub, conservatives or liberals. Everyone wants it their way and if they don't agree they bitch and whine about the other. The way the supreme court is set up is not fair to anyone. Politics is a dirty business and is also unfair. If people would stop being Fn sheep and being followers we would be better off. Parties took the power away from citizens. Has everyone fighting and they love it.

  3. BREAKING – CHINA JOE GETS A PASS
    LETS GO BRANDEN ๐Ÿ—ฝ VOTE EM OUT 2022 TRUMP2024-2032 ๐Ÿ—ฝ
    China Joe once gave a eulogy for the DEMS Virginia US Senator and a once Supreme Grand Wizard for the KKK, in 2006 there was an opportunity to put the first Black Woman in the Highest Court that went by the name of Judge Janis Rogers, Biden opposed and threated a filibuster. This is what China Joe is all about – Wake up
    Creepy China Joe Once said – "Inter City Busing, by bringing black people to white schools will create a racial Jungles, I don't want my kids going to a racial jungle" He also said – "HE LIKED IT WHEN BLACK KIDS FEEL THE BLOND HAIR ON HIS LEGS TO WATCH THEM STAND UP AND SIT ON HIS LAP – What a joke of a man and party

  4. The new BLACK Supreme Court Justice was pre-planned by and suggested by a group called DEMAND JUSTICE'S who provided her name to China Joe so Biden appointed her to the US court of appeals for DC. a stepping stone to the Supreme Court then the news broke out of Steven Breyer retirement of which he found out on the news he was retiring so the top name that surfaced over and over was Ketanji Brown Jackson – go figure right? at one time she had an Uncle in jail for life but had the Obamanator commute his sentence so he was released. It's nice having friends in high places right? This was planned the minute China Joe came into office – She will not be respected by her Peers – What else have they corrupted?

  5. She truly represents diversity. Not only will she be the first black woman on the Supreme Court, she will be the first black woman who's married to a white doctor on the Supreme Court.

  6. Que mujer.guerera.mis.respeto

  7. AFFERMARIVE ACTION – CHECKED

  8. Must feel funny knowing that u only got this job because you are a black woman !!

  9. Good luck respectable lady!

  10. โ€˜Tokenโ€™ appointment; well done Brandon! ๐Ÿคก. !

  11. You all must have been really upset when Trump said he was going to put a woman on the court to replace RBG. Just kidding we know you werenโ€™t.

    The Supreme Court is one of three branches of government and represents all Americans. We should be actively seeking to create a court that has more personal insight and understanding about how laws affect various groups in this country. Itโ€™s not just checking a box to nominate a black woman. Itโ€™s essential to the health of our democracy.

  12. This judge will always have a cloud over her; Is she qualified or is she appointed because she is a black female? Time will tell. That reporter just said, โ€œBiden liked her enough.โ€ Great recommendation.

  13. Biden is preparing Kamala Harris for his successor as POTUS… the only job in U.S never held by a woman no matter what colour her identity…

    dont let this happen… dont let women rules us… fight for man rights…. united we stand, divided we falls… ๐Ÿ˜

  14. Oh how racist and sexist: itโ€™s historic because sheโ€™s a WOMAN and BLACK!

  15. The DC card are all supporters of Mr Biden let's not discolored this for what it is. You don't appoint People based on color you appoint them based on qualifications mr. Biden is a loser

  16. Why tf r u people crying? idc about any color but america has overlooked minorities for a long time when it comes to high positions so now for once its like picking a black woman to compensate for all that unfairness and u stupid b*** are still crying?her credentials are as good as any other supreme court nominees u idiots

  17. Let's Go Brandon ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ๐ŸŽฏ

  18. The last time we try to get someone in office base on gender and race…we got Kama Harris. Even the left hate her, and I'm left. When you hire someone, the ideal and fair decision should be base on credential…Thought it would be common sense.

  19. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

  20. A decision based on sex and race, so a SEXIST AND RACIST DECISION! If a white male had been promised by a Presidential candidate it would have been called RACIST! Oh and she only has 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ON THE BENCH IN THE D. C. AREA!!

  21. KKK appointed, who knew they could turn Joey so easily, was it Big Mike?

  22. Based on the fact thereโ€™s never been a great female philosopher in the history of the world and there never will be and being a Supreme Court judge requires a lot of complex thinking sheโ€™s probably not qualified.
    Oh I almost forgot to mention thereโ€™s never been a great female commander in the history of the world as well thereโ€™s been a few but theyโ€™ve all turned out to be genocidal maniacs like a Hillary Clinton type.

  23. Promises made, promises kept

  24. Who disโ€ฆ. President Biden wants credit for nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. But here is the shameful irony: As a senator, Biden warned President George W. Bush that if he nominated the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, he would filibuster and kill her nomination.

  25. Two questions for her confirmation hearing:
    1.) If racism is defined as occuring when individuals or institutions show more favorable evaluation or treatment of an individual or group based on race or ethnicity. What do you call it when Biden said he will nominate a Black woman?
    2.) Do you believe you would have been nominated if your skin was any other color?

  26. Fucking diversity hire! Its wiping away her accomplishments!! The person with the most merit should get the position!

  27. A diversity hire and another hack liberal judge.

  28. LOL, she received bipartisan support, cuz 3 voted for her. LOL. What a joke.

  29. Add 5 new judges to balance the rigged Supreme Court

  30. Congratulations Judge Jackson on your nomination..Be ready for your name to be used and abused to score some easy liberal votes. What a shame to be honest.. If a company chooses a job candidate based on gender and race, it will be discriminating but if a president does it, he will be applauded for it (by some) . All while he is boasting about it at the time

  31. United States keep trying to take everything away from Russia it will put them in the mind set of we have nothing to lose, and this will easier for them to start the nuclear war. Think about it the same way you would when a guy has lost his girlfriend and his children and run at a Police Officer with a knife. I have a special gift because my mind is wired different. I can stop this war, but all rules will have to go. ………….GRIM

  32. President Reagan said, and I quote": "I will put the 1st woman on the Supreme Court." And he did: Sandra Day O'Connor. So, no one should have a problem with Biden stating he would nominate the 1st Black woman. You people: Go sit down in a corner somewhere.

  33. i SEE WE ARE SINKING LOWER & LOWER ……with choices like this ….sad indeed

  34. The people in the comments are all cowards who will say racist things behind a keyboard but not in public cuz they know they're the minority

  35. The racists in this comment section are so scared that if people of color get into too many positions of power, we'll do to them what they've been doing for centuries: abusing and exploiting everyone who isn't them.

  36. Never heard of her. She can start by getting rid of BLM and Antfia and get rid of the Fkn mandates and fund our borders! ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ค

  37. I hope they grill the hell out of her and ask her the most absurd and intrusive questions just like they did to all the Trump justices. I hope they try to embarrass her

  38. What are her qualifications?

  39. Ketanji is overqualified to be a Supreme Court Justice. If she was white, she'd be able to coast into the position on a mediocre understanding of the law and all you racists in the comment section would have nothing to complain about because white supremacy was tailored for mediocre white people.

  40. You all must have been really upset when Trump said he was going to put a woman on the court to replace RBG. Just kidding we know you werenโ€™t.

    The Supreme Court is one of three branches of government and represents all Americans. We should be actively seeking to create a court that has more personal insight and understanding about how laws affect various groups in this country. Itโ€™s not just checking a box to nominate a black woman. Itโ€™s essential to the health of our democracy.

  41. It's such a shame race and gender were the main factors in this nomination instead of merit and qualifications. As a black Republican, I support this nomination because I think she's qualified, and not because President Brandon picked her. The dialogue with Justice Thomas as her colleague will be very interesting.

  42. So many racists in these comments. So sad.

  43. who cares what colour she is ? mainstream media makes everything about race . sounds racist to me .

  44. Shout out to George Floyd on 641 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!

  45. Affirmative action. To all libsโ€ฆ Go love yourself and letโ€™s go Brandon, I agree!!!
