Could Ketanji Brown Jackson get confirmed?
Brown has a background as a public defender and worked on the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Her labor-friendly rulings as a judge have drawn praise…..
We KNOW U.S. District Judge J. Michelle Childs already has the support of several Republicans and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C……
President Joe Biden is on the cusp of picking a Supreme Court nominee, and a dozen progressive groups are revealing their preferred candidate among the finalists: U.S. Appeals Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
In a Wednesday letter to Biden led by the courts-focused Demand Justice, the 12 groups nudge him to nominate someone with a background working as a public defender or in civil rights.

The letter comes one day after NBC News and other outlets reportedthat Biden has interviewed two other finalists in addition to Jackson: U.S. District Judge J.

Well…..
WELL…….
Joe Biden goes with the Progressives
His choice for the Supreme’s is Judge Brown…..

And surprise surprise Lindsey Graham just cane out in opposition to Jackson, and also against the “Harvard Yale train to the Supreme Court”
Now where did Neil Gorsuch go to school? Harvard. Brett Kavanaugh? Yale.
Both vociferously supported by Graham.
This is just a wink wink to the Confederate flag wavers back in the South Carolina GOP that think Lindsey is a bit femme. Vote against the black woman and claim it’s because “elitism”–wink wink.
