2. Thanks!

Judge Jackson not only makes history, but she's simply the most qualified in a whole lot of years, maybe ever.

Judge Jackson will do an awesome job carrying on Justice RBG's legacy...

7. Ari made the point that she is MORE qualified than anyone currently on the court,

which is true. The saddest thing, however, is that the most qualified currently on the court is the one she is replacing. No oneelse even comes close.

That's not sad for her, but it is sad for the Court.

It's a little known fact that the concept of the courts as a third branch of government was inspired by the Haudenosaunee system, which had a kind of supreme court comprising the female elders of the tribe. I'm not opposed to having any men on our Sepureme Court (provided they are qualified), but I wold like to see us get closer to our original inspiration.

8. Well said.

SCOTUS was always the branch of government that was "unimpeachable," apparently not anymore. The most recent appointees weren't close to qualified - and one other is severely compromised.

9. And the compromised on is just barely

better qualified than the least qualified four (of whom one is Roberts..

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

10. Can he survive a second scandal??

Good grief! And we had to listen to the ridiculous "questioning" that they put Judge Jackson through...

[soldierant]

11. I certainly hope not

but am placing no bets.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Same here. This is no longer headline news...
