Nominee Jackson’s short appellate record

WSJ Ketanji Brown Jackson’s record

Well, that was disappointing. The nominee’s judicial record shows a consistent pattern of ruling as she thinks the law should be rather than what it is.

With 50 Democrat Senators, she will likely be confirmed but she has no business being on the Supreme Court.

  1. “ After reviewing so many of Judge Jackson’s judicial opinions, we have no doubt of her capabilities. We can’t discern whether she has any cognizable judicial philosophy that would guide her approach to the sort of fraught legal questions that the Supreme Court confronts term after term. Her loudest advocates are confident that she’ll serve them well, and her record supports that view. With 50 Democratic senators, that may be enough.” WSJ

    So the problem is they can’t find any problems?

    1. Her loudest advocates are the far left, who regard the Constitution as an impediment

      More relevant quotes form the article

      “Much judicial mischief has involved courts appointing themselves to exercise power and impose liability in the absence of any law. Judge Jackson’s rationale, echoing those of many Warren and Burger court decisions, is that the Constitution empowers courts to vindicate “intrinsic rights.””

      “Judge Jackson asserted that although the policy itself was unreviewable, she could pass judgment on the “manner” in which the agency made it. She found it lacking based on the agency’s failure to engage in notice-and-comment rulemaking and its failure to consider adequately the “downsides of adopting a policy that, in many respects, could significantly impact people’s everyday lives in many substantial, tangible, and foreseeable ways”—which would seem to be a consideration of policy, not manner. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit reversed this ruling.”

      “They need merely “display awareness” of the change and identify “good reasons for the new policy.” To this, Judge Jackson’s opinion adds the requirement, which the Supreme Court had rejected, that the agency show the new policy to be better than the old one.”

      Better according to whom? Herself? Queen Jackson?

      Her record shows a total disregard for law and precedent when it disagrees with her preferences.

      This would be like a Republican President appoiting Trump to the Supreme Court.

            An interpretation by a justice is legitimate, whether you agree with it our not. They are smarter than us when it comes to the law and have much more experience in studying it and understanding it.

            And as far as Congress goes, they have, regardless of leadership given the majority of their legislative powers to the Executive. The court is a check on those powers. As the recent occupiers of the Oval Office have found out.

            And until Congress retakes its place as a legislative body that does more than names Post Offices and Federal Building after those deserving (or not), the Executive will have to “legislate” to keep this nation moving forward.

            First, there was no law, there was a regulation by the Federal Elections Commission That determined that corporations, like the Sierra Club, for example, passed the free speech rights of its members to the corporation but other corporations, like say, Exxon, did not pass the rights of its members to the corporation.

            There is nothing in the 1st Amendment that limits people from expressing their political speech based on the presumed altruism of their motives.

            Speech has always been costly. Even Thomas Paine had to pay for his pamphlets.

          3. If you really think about it, if the law is cast in stone, why have opinions.

            Very few rulings from SCOTUS are unanimous, particularly in the post-truth era as envisioned by Gingrich.

            So you would just discard opinions, dissenting or not, since the laws are so obvious and non-ambiguous. Well, the reality is the reason we have rulings from SCOTUS is because the Constitution is often vague or ambiguous in details.

            2nd Amendment debates have hinged on comma placement and grammar along with possible intent as described in The Federalist Papers and other letters and writings. So now the perception of those on the right was that militias were to fight the government, not foreign enemies or insurrectionists. If our “militias”, gangs really, were in Ukraine, they would be helping Putin. Or committing treason as sensible folks admit to.

            The states are: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin.”

            Other states already had robust and successful vote by mail systems in effect.

            That being the case, your opinion about the laws in each state mean little except if you didn’t like the results. Which was the argument about the PA legislators who wanted to challenge the rules AFTER losing.

          15. Not trying to relitigate 2020.

            But the States who are fixing their laws to prevent another fiasco have every right to do so, and under the Constitution, no one but the legislatures have that power.

          16. Maybe, but states can have legislatures delegate to officials as their method of operation.

            Of course states have the right to pick electors as they see fit. But you either hand pick them or allow voting, and voting rights are intrinsic to a democracy.

            Texas has tried so hard to complicate voting that they didn’t even have the forms ready and people had no time to learn the new hoops to jump through.

            Texas is afraid they are turning purple, in my opinion. So they are working on making sure only the “right” people get representation.

            People are starting to tire of the Big Lie, so those extremists that are endorsed by Trump may win the primaries, but could very well lose big in the elections.

          19. “You mean the laws legally established by the legislatures to fix the unlawful decisions of bureaucrats?”

            Can’t get over the Big Lie I see. Sad.

            But, no. I was referring to the laws intended to keep people from voting. NO PURPOSE other than the political advantage of the people imposing them.

          20. “So statements that she had no standing for a ruling do indicate overreach?”

            I suppose you meant “do not?”

            If so, no. Differences of opinion are common in the court system and do not mean there was overreach or underreach or any particular pejorative you want to spin. It means there was a difference of opinion. Whose opinion is right or wrong is always going to be subjective. I think that the Heller decision was egregious overreach by an activist court with a political agenda. Does that make it true?

  4. Her whole federal career since 2009 has been either Obama’s or Biden’s doing. That should tell you plenty. Heck, she just got confirmed to the appellate June 17 of last year. Not even a year in that position. She’s had numerous decisions reversed and makes really kooky statements in her decisions. Oh wait. It’s all good, she’s a black female and that’s all that counts.

    1. Thomas (1 year) and Roberts (2 years) also had very short terms on appellate courts. Funny how those were not issues.

      Jackson is very likely more qualified than most regardless of race or gender.

    2. ““Too often over the past several decades, Supreme Court nominations have descended into bitter partisan conflict and we lose sight of the most important qualities in a jurist,” he added. “Judge Jackson presents an opportunity to refocus on what matters – the nominee’s integrity, qualifications and commitment to the Constitution and the rule of law.” He called Jackson “as good as they come” and said she was “far from an ideologue.””

      “She’s had numerous decisions reversed”…

      And former federal judge Thomas Griffith, GWB appointee had this to say in a letter to the heads of the Senate Judiciary Committee, ““Judge Jackson and I occasionally differed on the best outcome of a given case. And in one important case involving the former President, I was one of two judges on a three-judge panel who voted to overturn her decision. However, I have always respected her careful approach, extraordinary judicial understanding, and collegial manner, three indispensable traits for success as a Justice on the Supreme Court.”

        That’s the problem with both of them.

        It is none of their business what the better OUTCOME of a case is. Their business is confined to what the law is, or is not, and no more.

        1. You interpret his statement badly. The opinions of the judges are based on the better LEGAL outcome of the case. Differing opinion occur all of the time. Hat is why dissenting opinions are published and used in cases down the road in attempts to sway LEGAL opinion of those deciding.

          Uh, no. You are projecting.

          The “best outcome” is the one that the writer believes most closely follows the law. It is possible – in fact normal – to disagree about that without accusing the other party of being “corrupt.”

          1. I did not accuse her of corruption.

            She just doesn’t accept the limits of her job description. She has repeatedly ruled based on what she believed was best as opposed to what was legal. That is the legislatures job.

          2. Ignoring the law is “corrupt.” Especially for a federal judge. You accuse her of ignoring the law when there are legitimate differences of opinion of how the law and the Constitution apply.

          3. Corrupt is ignoring the law for personal gain. Like the Bidens.

            I do not accuse Jackson of any personal corruption. She is a partisan idealogue and she puts her desire for an outcome ahead of the law. But I do not think she is dishonest.

  6. And another CONSERVATIVE endorsement for Judge Jackson.

    https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/01/politics/ketanji-brown-jackson-nomination/index.html

    “Lawyer William Burck, in a statement obtained exclusively by CNN, said of Jackson that “no serious person can question her qualifications to the Court and to my mind her judicial philosophy is well within the mainstream.””

    SO to those who think her judicial philosophy is “extremist” or “radical”, Burck says your full of it.
