You don’t have to be a lawyer — or particularly smart, for that matter — to see what’s going on here. In fairness, the Democrats were just as guilty during the confirmation hearings for Justices Kavanaugh and Barrett. But neither party is serving the interests of justice and good government with the disgraceful display of intellectual dishonesty and pandering that goes on during these hearings.

Agreed BR.  Let the current POTUS have his choice on this one - she was a "shoe-in" from the start.  Mark my words, though (IMHO) I do think she will be a prominent activist SCOTUS Judge.  I hope I'm wrong.

That will be a very difficult task as the Court is currently composed. Her votes are likely to be pretty similar to the Justice she replaced. So, all the “liberal” wing of the Court has done is exchange a pretty senior Justice for a rookie. Seniority means something on the Court.

'To be fair, she seems to be a much better actress than a judge,'

A Broadway actor - SCOTUS Qualified, deeply partisan and can't even define "woman".

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14200049/Supreme-Court-Justice-Ketanji-Brown-Jackson-Broadway-reviews.html

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson shocked the audience at Broadway's &Juliet this past weekend as she 'fulfilled a lifelong dream' to make her debut - but it has led to some less than stellar reviews.

Jackson appeared in three scenes on Saturday night - singing in harmony during the Backstreet Boys song 'Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely.'

By stepping into the limelight, Justice Jackson, the first black woman to sit on the court, also inadvertently invited criticism and skepticism about her dedication to maintaining the court’s revered image.

Jackson had previously told of her dream of 'becoming the first Black, female Supreme Court Justice to appear on a Broadway stage', but it has now led to some on social media to question if she is in the wrong role when it comes to her day job.

'She should have just been an actress,' stated one user on X. 

'Tells you everything about this woman. Broadway is a bigger deal than the Supreme Court,' added another.

'If you needed proof Ketanji Brown Jackson does not belong on the Supreme Court, here it is. Absolutely disgraceful that she did this. Shame on her and on those who confirmed her,' stated conservative radio host Eric Metaxas.

Retired sheriff's deputy Penny Farrington agreed that Jackson performed better on stage than in court: 'She is far better suited in this role....instead of an Honorable Justice of the Supreme Court.

'She doesn't know what a woman is...how can she know about queer woman is? Maybe she will change professions after this...we can only hope,' Farrington wrote, bringing up a controversial exchange in March 2022 when Jackson struggled to define a gender type.

It was during her senate nomination process when a back and forth exchange with Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn that Justice Jackson appeared unable to give a definitive answer on how she defines a 'woman'. 

'Can you define the word ''woman''?' she was asked by Blackburn.

'Can I provide a definition?' Jackson replied. 'No, I can't. I'm not a biologist.'  

Cruz later took the stand to hound her on similar gender issues.

'I know that I am a woman, I know that Senator Blackburn is a woman,' she responded. 'And the woman who I admire most in the world is in the room today – my mother,' still not giving a definition of the word 'woman.'

Those commenting on social media following Saturday's performance appeared concerned about the long-term reputation of the court.

'Seems very undignified for a Supreme Court Justice,' wrote one commenter.

'To be fair, she seems to be a much better actress than a judge,' quipped another.
