(EFE).- With tears in her eyes, the first African American woman to be elevated to the United States Supreme Court said Friday that this week’s Senate vote confirming her nomination would have been unthinkable for her grandparents.
“To be sure, I have worked hard to get to this point in my career, and I have now achieved something far beyond anything my grandparents could’ve possibly ever imagined,” Ketanji Brown Jackson said during an event on the South Lawn of the White House.
“But no one does this on their own. The path was cleared for me so that I might rise to this occasion,” she said, going on to quote lines from Maya Angelou’s poem, “And Still I Rise”: “bringing the gifts my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave.”
Three Republican senators joined all of the Democrats on Thursday to confirm Jackson by a vote of 53-47.
“It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. But we’ve made it,” Jackson said.
“We have come a long way toward perfecting our union,” the 51-year-old jurist said. “In my family, it took just one generation to go from segregation to the Supreme Court of the United States.”
President Joe Biden, though he thanked the three Republicans who voted for Jackson’s confirmation, complained about the behavior of other GOP senators during the hearings.
“I knew the person I nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process. But I have to tell you, what Judge Jackson was put through was well beyond that,” Biden said. “The most vile, baseless assertions and accusations.”
“In the face of it all, Judge Jackson showed the incredible character and integrity she possesses. Poise. Poise and composure. Patience and restraint. And, yes, perseverance and even joy,” the president said.
Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black woman to hold the post, told Jackson that she will become a role model for future generations.
“The young leaders of our nation will learn from the experience, the judgment, the wisdom that you, Judge Jackson, will apply in every case that comes before you,” Harris said.
“We’re going to look back – nothing to do with me – we’re going to look back and see this as a moment of real change in American history,” Biden said. EFE

“With tears in her eyes . . .”” Yeah—we have tears in ours, too.
“I am the dream and the hope of the slave.” And living proof that our educational system is on the rocks—that Liberal politics is sabotaging our Nation—and that racism rests squarely with the people who holler the loudest about it.
“I knew the person I nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process. But I have to tell you, what Judge Jackson was put through was well beyond that,” Biden said. “The most vile, baseless assertions and accusations.” Oh, you mean like with Kavannaugh, Barrett, and Thomas—huh, Joe? Something along those lines? I suppose they don’t count though since they weren’t Democrat choices pushing a Liberal agenda. You’re a total dumba**, Biden—pure and simple.
Mumbling, fumbling, stumbling, rambling, senile, slo joe, embarrasses himself, and our country, once again.
TO Many BLACKS. Every thing under the sun, is about skin color.. Always has been, and as long as they LET IT CLOUD THEIR JUDGEMENT< it always will be.
Mark Levin in his Book, ” Men In Black”, wrote About Communist Leftist Influence on The Decisions that The Court Hands Down, ” ..If anything Evokes The Communist Politburo Mode, It Is Not Critics Of The Court, But Nine Robed Lawyers Who Can Stand In Unchallenged Judgement On Virtually Any Issue Or Activity, In Which They Wish To Intervene. …However, there Are Those Who ….. ” are arguing For An Unconstrained Supreme Court… ” WhatThe democrat President Joe Biden and The rest Of The Elite. democratsWould. Like To Do Is Guarantee That The Supreme Court Decisions FavoredTheir Socialist,Commuist Agenda, If That Means. ” packin The Court , So Be It. “
” By The Color of Their …”Skinney Skinney Skin Skin, And Sex , Would democrat Presodent Joe Biden nominate Someone To The Supreme Court And So The” First Black Female Be Seated On The Supreme Court But Intelligence Isn’t Obviously Wasn’t A Requirement As Former Judge Ketani Brown Jackson Can’t Say ” What Is A Woman, But She Is An Ideologue So That Qualified Her To Set On The Supreme Court And Of Course She, Being A Woman Of Color….
““It has taken 232 years and 115 prior appointments for a Black woman to be selected to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. But we’ve made it,””…..Like Blacks themselves have no culpability in their poor performance since 1865. Blame whites for what came before if you will but what’s the excuse for failure after the end of the civil war other than black choices to act uncivilly and sit on the sidelines watching every other colored race in the world advance past them in American social standing, success and acquisition for the American dream. People do tend to realize what they dream up and aspire to, so perhaps the blacks themselves should look inward to the misguided dreams offered by a political party that only looks for black activist leaders to keep them under control inside the prisons of their own self-chosen family dynamic father abandoned single mom victimhood. Immediately after the civil war the earned incomes and success of black families took a great leap forward only to fall upon the FDR/LBJ face of the dependency offered by the Democrat party of pandering prevaricators who offered the quick free government immediate gratifications accepted by blacks that delayed the long-term success of Supreme Court equality 232 years. Take color out of this appointment and legions of better qualified of any color would appear. American justice just got robbed as the darkest prevail over the best and the brightest, as child porn perverts become empowered.
“. American justice just got robbed as the darkest prevail over the best and the brightest, as child porn perverts become empowered.”
Congress passed Public Law 88-352 (78 Stat. 241). The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions of this civil rights act forbade discrimination on the basis of sex, as well as, race in hiring, promoting, and firing. (Biden will consider only Black female candidates)
The president also reiterated his commitment to nominating only a Black woman to the nation’s highest court.
(Is this not discrimination against all other races and gender)
According to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll, 76 percent of Americans say President Biden should consider “all possible nominees” to fill retiring Justice Stephen Breyer’s seat on the Supreme Court. Only 23 percent say Biden should consider only Black female candidates, as he pledged to do during the campaign,
As Grouco Marks said, ” Whon
Are You Going To Believe, Me Or Your Liying Eyes .” Democrat president Would Say, I’M The President And I Can Do Whatever I like, It says So Here On My Cards That I Always Carry In My Pocket , I’M The F-n President.!
AND when only NINE People are on the bench, while BLACK FEMALES make up less than 7% of society, WHY exactly should a BLACK FEMALE specifically have been sat on the court? THERE IS ALREADY ONE black there, so they are MORE than adequately represented, based on their % OF THE population!
Those OfTheBlack RaceWho Didn’t Advance Have Oly Themselves To Blame And The DesireTp LiveOff The Labor And Efforts Of Others And they became (Welfare Wards Of The democrat PartyAnd Didn’t have To Better Themselves or Try, As JoeBiden once Said Of The Blace Race Who Was Susposed To Vote ForThe. democrat Party Every Time, ” If Yo don’t VoteFor Democrats, YourNot Black Enough , To Paraphrase Joe Biden.
Yes, there were barriiers to be overcome for bblacks to serve on the Supreme Court, most of them placed in their way by Democrats, segregation, Jim Crow laws, voter suppression (a favorite topic of their’s since they did it so well), the KKK! And then hypocrisy of accusing questioners of vile, baseless assertions and accusations when he should at his own despicable connduct with Justice Clarence Thomas years ago!

SCOTUS will soon audition for the bar in Star Wars
Who’s the biologist who deemed Brown Jackson a woman as Biden stipulated she must be? And America would have had its first black female SCOTUS judge in 15 years ago ago except Biden led a 2 year filibuster and voted against Republican nominee Janice Roberts Brown 2003 for the Washington circuit, then threatened another filibuster if Bush put her forward for SCOTUS. BIDEN BLOCKED A BLACK WOMAN FROM SCOTUS.
BECAUSE she was obviously NOT “The right black”…
