When Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh was in confirmation hearings before the U.S. Senate, Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, he asked the nominee if he drank on the weekends and weekdays while Kavanagh was in high school.
What?
Kavanaugh wasn’t sure how to respond to such a obscure and irrelevant question. Booker wasn’t looking for relevant facts – he was looking to paint a picture of Kavanagh being a high school drunk that preyed on helpless schoolgirls and Booker wanted the national TV audience to get that impression regardless of the answer.
But when Republicans asked Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson what her score was on the LSAT (law school entrance exam), the liberals went crazy and claimed it was “racist” to ask such a question.
So, it’s racist to ask a nominee about her qualifications but completely proper to ask about drinking habits in high school?
The LSAT question is pertinent because it would show if Jackson got into Harvard Law School because Harvard was pushing minority applicants or she got in based on her own merits.
She was not asked about her drinking habits or social habits in high school.
Was it fair for a Republican senator to ask her to define the word “woman?” Yes, because one of the hottest topics in the country is the invasion of women’s sports by men pretending to be women who are dominating sports that used to be confined to actual women.
She wouldn’t answer such a simple question.
There is no doubt that there is a double standard when it comes to how Democrats treat Republican nominees to the Supreme Court and how Republicans treat Democrats.
Jackson wants to change the role of judges. She is an activist that will make decisions based on politics, not the rule of law or the U.S. Constitution.
The media is blatantly on the side of the progressives and the confirmation process is clear evidence.
