. If confirmed, she'd be the first Black woman to serve as Supreme Court justice in U.S. history and the first in decades with significant experience representing criminal defendants.
The ABA, which "confines its evaluation to the qualities of integrity, professional competence, and judicial temperament," unanimously agreed that Jackson is "well qualified," committee chair Ann Claire Williams wrote in a letter to the chair and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
She’s clearly qualified but the problem was the process. How is limiting candidates to only black women not racist, if limiting only to white male is racist? I hope Biden sees how this divides America rather than unite.
DowntownWomen my heart breaks at how base the republican men are interviewing her. it's frightening to see people day after day openly express racism and misogyny. and think their hiding it by smiling. but Brown Jackson has seen it all before.
Congratulations
What a brain
BendtsenHolley Trump nominated 9+ judges who were rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Association. Biden is nominating a judge who has the HIGHEST possible rating from the American Bar Association and happens to be a Black woman MarshaBlackburn Graham ChuckGrassley HawleyMO tedcruz
too communist minded for America.
the media is bending over backwards trying to make this low level partisan look astounding.
Considering Brandon's track record with appointments how can this be a good idea
Gawd, she has to endure all this through April 8? I don't know how she maintains her composure and focus for these grueling, sometimes offensive 'statements' by Republicans on the Judiciary Committee.
So did Kavanaugh. Just sayin.
So?
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson IS A CHILD MOLESTER. When You ALLOW 15 EGREGIOUS CHILD MOLESTERS OFF, You. Are. Ok. With. CHILD. MOLESTATION. So Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson IS the bloody words A CHILD MOLESTER.

Best of luck Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson I hope the GOP sycophants don’t embarrass themselves again GOPtheRussianPartyofTraitors
PattyArquette Would it help soothe Republican anxiety if she shouted “I like Beer” during confirmation?
LeaderMcConnell I’m guessing no have no problem with Clarence Thomas, who’s rated “qualified” by all but one who rates him “unqualified.”
Patigrl Noooooooo! -MoscowMitch
Did the last one...?
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Doesn’t mean anything to the party of Putin. They are all voting no. This nomination is in the hands of Sinema and Manchin. 😳
Yeah The Bar associations opinions have little effect on the fuckups of the GOP who select people for the courts that have little credible experience to put them there!
My.dream. 😍😍🍳🍳🍳
She is soft on crime that’s a fact & extremely soft on sex-offenders
Another good reason not to trust a group of lawyers.
She did not need that endorsement. She is more than overqualified for this position as is.
You batman kids are going get in trouble.
Is too bad she received the highest rating because of her skin color and being to far left.
Oh gee look, an extreme left-wing organization supporting an extreme left-wing nominee for the Supreme Court. lol Too funny.
Just because she's a far left black female DOES NOT QUALIFY HER FOR A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT TO OUR SUPREME COURT. LOOK AT KAMALA HARRIS FOR A POOR EXAMPLE OF LEADERSHIP ABILITIES. SHE HAS NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND HER. IMAGINE THAT..JUST SAYING
POTUS violations of EOA by announcing race first. If you were going to discriminate for the position shouldn’t it be a Native American First? USNatArchives laws for the underlings only? UN
I'm betting that she doesn't cry like a baby and say she likes beer at her hearing like someone we know.
Fox was asking about this. Will someone please flip this to Tucker?
I’m a lawyer and this is wrong
Look at all the puff coverage by the media. Good to see you don’t even pretend anymore where your politics are aligned.
That's why the GOP don't want her to serve, she is qualified, smart and knows the law.
Well, that comes as no surprise.
It's An Excellent. Wishing Great Success Too 💞💕💞
It only serves to show the total bias at the ABA.
The Republicans will NEVER allow a qualified judge on the supreme court. They ONLY want cronies who will do their bidding, she won't do that. BTW who paid off Kav's massive debts?
Maybe Biden will get to appoint Thomas’s replacement.
The gop is horrified at the notion of a well-educated black woman on the SCOTUS when there are so many conservative drunks and sex offenders to choose from.

😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂 does the Bar Association know that her rulings have been overturned more than anybody else even by other liberal judges?
No wonder
I do not give a damn about it.
Let's see if the brazen white supremacists in Congress keep her out!
Republicans are still going to try and deny her the position! WTF
An exemplary and historical development in US judiciary
What's the trophy in the background?
I assume Ketanji Brown Jackson getting the American Bar Association's highest rating to serve on the Supreme Court will deter Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz from being assholes at her confirmation hearings. Just a wild guess though.
Hirono was unable to get Judge Barrett to confess that the ACA is constitutional however, The Good news is, Hirono was able to determine that Judge Barrett is not a rapist or a sexual predator, so at least there is that,

Hi axios ,how are you doing
She rates well with Most Left-leaning orgs.
Just saying ... 'Ketanji Brown Jackson received the American Bar Association's highest rating to serve on the Supreme Court ahead of this week's confirmation hearings.'
The ABA cannot be trusted. She's completely unqualified based on abortion view alone. No further discussion is needed. Anyone who allows this barbaric human rights violation should never be a judge. It's a corrupt mind that promotes such violence.
Unqualified
However, the gop will call it irrelevant. Any bets?
This is a Set Up. Yes, Black and a Woman, but way short on Qualifications. Released more Thugs just because.
She apparently has a soft spot for pedophiles and the makers of child porn...She goes out of her way to get them lesser charges and shorter prison sentences ..She is a bad choice for a Supreme Court seat..

I wholeheartedly support Judge Jackson, but the ABA gave the same rating to Barrett, who is massively less well-qualified. It might be in the national interest for the ABA's rubric to be more precise.
what is sad is all the people in congress who are not fit to shine her shoes are in control of this.
Well let’s hope the Senate treats her with the same respect that Brett Kavanaugh was…. Oh wait, the TheDemocrats tried to destroy his reputation. I’m sure the Democrats won’t mind the GOP bringing back Kristine Blausey Ford for round 2.
Biden goes for bike ride at the beach as Ukraine president warns of 'third world war'
Amongst these individuals she’s very qualified.
hates cops
You mean we might get one who is actually qualified this time?
I’m so sorry in advance for what the Republicans are about to do to you, KBJ. I am not responsible for their actions, but I know it’s going to be awful. You deserve better.
And most importantly, she’s black
The moment she will be in the Supreme Court arena her opinions judgements will lean towards Conservation it’s absolutely not going to happen what’s progressing liberals are thinking about her Abortion rights pro choice will be pro life DACA will be on the back burner and more
I just came to see all the hating ass GOP comments. Not one will admit they’re hating on her just because she’s Black though.
Unlike two of Trump’s picks.
Their highest rating. How many federal judges did Republican senators confirm for Trump who were found UNQUALIFIED by the ABA? 23%! HYPOCRITES! Cc: JudiciaryDems
Yeah, just Brent Kavanagh, oh wait a minute . . .that's right.
fraud crackerlover Jamaican nonfba
She has a history of being lenient on pedophiles. Of course the left would rally around that....
Is this the time where republicans act like communists and call on antifa to bully the hearings? .. I’m thinking maybe even a Spartacus moment by a a party idiot or accusing the Judge of unfounded / fabricated lies .. her facist rulings are however up fir debate ..
She's much more qualified and better suited to serve on the SCOTUS than most of those already there.
Please pass this on to those MF republicans.
She’s a solid candidate. GOP is just paying back for the shit Krazy Kavanaugh got during his approval process. My god people, US has so many bigger problems & instead we can’t see the forest for the trees. That’s how civilizations die.
Ketamji Brown Jackson is obviously a remarkable woman and SCOTUS should be honored to have her.
Unlike most of Trump’s judicial picks
Leader
Take that Republicans. You can’t lay a glove on her.
Wonder if they will “Kavanaugh” her
Hard for the radical right to dispute that.
That means absolutely nothing anymore unfortunately.
The Republicans don't want a high rated Judge, they want racists and bigots to appease their so-called 'Christians'.
Yet Republican Senators lie about her to justify not supporting this woman whose record is stellar. They voted for Brett Kavanaugh who was in financial debt to his ears to replace Kennedy who abruptly retired when his son approved a multi mil loan fromDeutche Bank to Trump.
Excellent! Good luck, Justice Jackson
What was Cavanaugh’s score or rating?
So good for her! Don't mean a thing to me! Thank you for asking
And todays GOP CULT will fight against it in every possible way!! If they put up Captain Crunch they would approve him in record time! 🤮🤮🤮 they fail USA every single day in every single way!!
Good!
I wonder how republicans can spin that. Kavanaugh obviously had more skeletons in the closet, and he got confirmed.
SethAbramson ConfirmJudgeJackson ⚖️
I have no doubt she will crush the GQP nonsense in epic style.
Will she be the only Justice with a law degree?
KBJ should be quickly confirmed without political theater and seated on retirement of Justice Breyer, but this is the US where politics reigns 24/7
Well then she's over qualified for the job. LeaderMcConnell only likes candidates the ABA says are unqualified - like Brett Kavanaugh.
She gets an F- from me for her bullshit religious beliefs. Same with the entire effing SCOTUS.
SethAbramson If Kavanagh squeaked in after a sham hearing and a bogus investigation where the FBI under the direction of the twice impeached Trump failed to question numerous witnesses who came forward, she should get in unanimously 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
GOP
SethAbramson That's not going to stop GOP wannabes turning the hearing into an embarrassment as they desperately try to snag their fox news bookings
Were they all sober ?
Ironically after she has been light on the punishment for pedophiles.
OF COURSE
WHCOS She is a classy scholar and should be approved immediately🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

TheDemCoalition The ABA was going to rethink kavanaughs rating after his crazy beer rants. Anybody know if they did?
TheDemCoalition Being smart and qualified only matters if you are a Democrat or black. Tons of white Republican dude lawyers were literally rated “not qualified” and are sitting on benches today.
NickKnudsenUS We’re ANY of Trump’s SC nominees’ rated as high? I know some of Trumps lower court noms were rated “not qualified”. And yet the GOP seated them anyway.
President is clowning the Black Community with his nominating of Black Women, they will be judged because of the color of their skin, interracial marital status, and not by the content of their character. What will happen now USA restart hiring by skin color?

TheSWPrincess Please give us the ratings of the sitting justices
I need a lawyer.
Supreme Court nominees and their ratings. Pretty interesting read!
What a shock for a very liberal organization to give a high rating to a very liberal nominee who will try to legislate from the bench and ignore the constitution
Because she is black?
Still won't be enough for some Senate Republicans!
She’s soft on criminals who possess child pornography and doesn’t believe in the sex reigistry. She’s an activist judge who empathizes with sex abusers.
Justice Kavanaugh received a very high recommendation from Joe’s bar when he was nominated.
Question is why are the republicans are trying to keep her from becoming SCOTU
But can she be impartial? The universities these days are not putting out impartial lawyers, they are nothing but activists who try to shut down free speech.
But what racist socialist ideas are there that Americans need to know
The ABA has proven itself an unreliable barometer of qualification. They could be correct but I’ll make my own determination.
Senate Republicans prefer judges the American Bar Association rates as UNqualified. That or they like them to have good old-fashioned sex abuse scandal under the belt. That makes them much better Partisan activists… which is what they REALLY want.
Ask what was Clarence Thomas’ recommendation from the ABA Zero!!
does not have the experience she was only confirmed months ago for a lower court. Also she does not follow the law the reason she has been overturned. GOPLeader LeaderMcConnell WSJ jasonrileywsj DanHenninger
This is a sterling recommendation for most of us. Not so, however, for the Red Russian Republican Party, which requires public disturbance, foul language, sexual misconduct, white male supremacy and sedition from its candidates. How protective they are of Americans' civil rights.
Bravo, but more importantly...will she part ways with showing leniency to pedophiles?
Jackass republicans will block her anyway.
KetanjiBrownJackson main qualification is having WhiteFetish and WhiteHusband
And just like that, I am cured of blindness for the 6,428th time.
I wish she had been the choice by PBO instead of Garland. They decided to go with the “safer” pick. That was exactly what mcconnell wanted because America wouldn’t react as harshly denying the position to a white man at that time.

donnabrazile Just give us the facts: What is the record of Ketanji Brown Jackson on child porn? How many cases came to Mrs. Jackson, what were the results? How many pedophile did she allow to walk free? What were her writings about letting pedophile and child porn accused?
'Yeah, but she's a Biden nominee, so that automatically means she's not qualified.' - The entire GQP
Accolades for triumphant achievements through life long struggles are well deserved ! Congrats 👏👍
Impeach egghead Thomas and replace him with another blk women ..we be rolling .
josh Hawley Tim Scott and Tom Cotton going to let her know what color her skin is tomorrow
What was Amy Barratt score ?
Amy Coney Barrett also got that
Another one wearing her religion on her sleeve!
Republicans : she didn't get the supremely qualified rating
WHCOS Thank you for the headline. NYT and WAPO would likely have “Senate divided on KBJ”.
It won’t stop the FoxNews and GOP and MAGA bigots coming for her. I wonder what it is about her that bothers them? “Constitutional” - I think they’ve spelt “face colour” wrong.
WHCOS we need student loan relief
How is she with child predators?
EricBoehlert IIRC, GOP didn’t care when ABA issued flunking evaluations for Trump judicial nominees. They won’t care now.
It should be entertaining. But Republicans are a heck of a lot more respectful than democrats!!
growler407 when compared with a drunk, a guy who leaves pubes on coke cans with a traitorous wife, and a stepford wife, Ms. Jackson's gonna kick ass
Some of the most conservative judges have also said she is a great candidate. Funny how that doesn’t come up by the GOP
The Republicans would do a lot for the 22 elections of unanimous vote for her.
