CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FOR MARCH 24, 2022
THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARING ON KETANJI BROWN JACKSON TO BECOME A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE IS FOLLOWING A PREDICTABLE SCRIPT. DEMOCRATS WHO HAD NO PROBLEM SMEARING PREVIOUS REPUBLICAN NOMINEES – THINK OF BRENT KAVANAUGH AND AMY CONEY BARRETT – NOW ACCUSE REPUBLICANS OF TRYING TO SMEAR JACKSON.
THE WASHINGTON POST ACCUSES GOP MEMBERS OF RACISM AND APPEALING TO THEIR BASE AND “FRINGE GROUPS,” WHICH IS ALWAYS THEIR FALLBACK POSITION. THAT JACKSON WAS SELECTED BECAUSE OF HER RACE AND GENDER IS IGNORED BY THE MEDIA AND PRAISED BY DEMOCRATS.
HERE ARE OTHER UNDENIABLE FACTS. JACKSON APPEARS A VERY NICE PERSON. HER SELECTION IS HISTORIC. BUT HER VIEWS ARE LIBERAL, OR SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NOMINATED. SHE WILL UPHOLD ANY CASE THAT CONTINUES ABORTION ON DEMAND. SHE WILL BEND THE CONSTITUTION TO CONFORM TO MODERN SENSIBILITIES AND POLLS.
HOW COULD IT BE OTHERWISE WITH A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. THE LAST DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT TO NAME A JUSTICE WHO WENT AGAINST THE LIBERAL TIDE AND VOTED AGAINST ROE VS. WADE WAS PRESIDENT KENNEDY AND THAT JUSTICE WAS BYRON WHITE.
FORTUNATELY, JACKSON’S ASCENDANCE TO THE COURT WON’T CHANGE THE CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
