Supreme Court Justice Identity Politics

I was listening to the questioning of Supreme Court nominee Kentanji Brown Jackson the other day.

I'm no Supreme Court expert - nor do I play one on TV - but she doesn't seem fit at all. Way too many 'I don't know' if you ask me. She didn't know specific cases cited.

I mean, isn't that, you know, your job?

Notice also the Republicans aren't turning this into an obscene circus like the Democrats did (hello Kamala!) with Kavanaugh. They're just asking questions. I know the left hate any question in whatever form or capacity, but that's the purpose of these things. To tease out if someone really is fit for the job. In the past, it was just a formality but for the most part the system wasn't so corroded and polarized as it is now. Back then, most of the Justices it was understood really were capable. 

Not so much now in the age of diversity and woke justice. 

Identity trumps talent. 

Jackson is clearly a token nominee. 

I recall Amy Cony Barrett with her pen and pad diligently and expertly fielding all questions. She was outstanding - event though she has somewhat disappointed conservatives during the Covid era.

I don't know.

It just feels like Brawndo is becoming reality more and more everyday if this keeps up.
