Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was born in in Washington, DC and grew up in Miami, Florida. She attended undergrad at Harvard where she graduated magna ***** laude with a B.A. in Government. She went to law school at Harvard Law School where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review and she graduated ***** laude.

Justice Jackson began her legal career as a law clerk for the Honorable Patti B. Saris of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. She then went on to clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals and worked in private practice before clerking for the Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer of the United States Supreme Court. After clerking for Justice Breyer, Justice Jackson went back into private practice for a couple of years. She then went into public service by first working at the United States Sentencing Commission for three years and then working as a Federal Public Defender for three years as well. After another stent in private practice, Justice Jackson came back to the United States Sentencing Commission as the Vice Chair. 

In 2013, Justice Jackson was appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia as a District Court Judge. She served in this role for seven years. In 2021, she was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit as a United States Circuit Judge. On February 25, 2022, President Biden nominated Justice Jackson to become the 116th Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

On April 7th, 2022, Justice Jackson was confirmed to the United States Supreme Court by a vote of 53 - 47. Justice Jackson is anticipated to be sworn in during the summer of 2022, after Justice Breyer retires from the court. 

 

Now, do Mike Davis...

She's an accomplished lady.  Kudos to her on her success.  Mike Davis is quite accomplished as well.  Neither is above criticism.

Refreshing that useful idiots are going with the qualifications schtick.

 

Let's play along....

 

You know what KBJ's most important qualifications are for being nominated and confirmed as a SC Justice?

 

That she is black and she's a woman.

 

Without meeting those two bars she would not have been considered as a nominee. Biden told us that.

 

Ironic that she can't define what a woman actually is without expert assistance, but it's a defining and essential qualification regardless.

 

Kind of diminishes the laundry list of accomplishments from Quack to have whatever you've actually accomplished in your career take a back seat to immutable characteristics that you were born with.

 

Some might even call it racist.

 

Oh and Mike Davis clerked for Gorsuch and runs the Article III project among many other highlights on his resume.

 

He's certainly well qualified to opine on the ramblings of a DEI hire at SCOTUS.

So she is intentional in her partisan drivel. What's your point?

And yet complaints and concerns about the decisions rendered by the SC rage on, year in, year out.  And, of course, there is the matter of Clarence Thomas, an Ivy Leaguer, and complaints from white liberal racists who see him as not the right kind of Black for their liking.

It's varied greatly in the last 10 years   More typical numbers recently

At least now, we can ignore sour grapes from white applicants.

 

There are always ways around the numbers game.

 

I'll say this for JKBJ - she is far more learned and intelligent that J. Sotomayor. KBJ simply doesn't like the power of the executive. Sotomayor fails to understand many things and clearly has little hand in her own opinions, as she's demonstrated very recently.

Experts consult.  run of the mill losers criticize the experts they'd like to be.

I'm not sure how they define an "expert"? I think it would be somebody that displays good judgment and has a track record of making decisions that prove to be correct or productive towards some objective.

 

But the context she's arguing here is that un-elected employees of and appointments to federal agencies deemed to be "experts" (who decides this I don't know?) should preside over specific decisions of the executive branch, namely those of the President. Essentially giving the bureaucracy veto power over Constitution powers afforded the executive branch under article two. If that's the essence of the argument I'd suggest she's no legal expert.

When President Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, it raised a lot of eyebrows. Many questioned if Brown Jackson was qualified for the role, and that didn't seem to be Biden's priority — he picked her because she was a Black woman, and diversity was more important to him than competency.

 

Since her appointment and confirmation, Brown Jackson has shown repeatedly that she's out of her depth. She's written dissents with unprofessional, childish slag interjected into them. She's also been called out by fellow Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Sonia Sotomayor and admitted she "doesn't understand" a lot of the cases that come before the Supreme Court.

 

Now she's having meltdowns during oral arguments about President Trump.

 

"Some issues, some matters, some areas should be handled in this way by non-partisan experts that Congress is saying that expertise matters with respect to aspects of the economy, and transportation, and the various independent agencies that we have," Brown Jackson said. "So having a president come in and fire all the scientists, and the doctors, and the economists, and the PhDs, and replacing them with loyalists and people who don't know anything is actually not in the best interests of the citizens of the United States."

These issues should not be in presidential control," Brown Jackson continued, "so can you speak to me about the danger of allowing in these various areas the president to actually control the transportation board, and potentially the federal reserve and all these other independent agencies. In these particular areas, we would like to have independence. We don't want the president controlling."

Justice Jackson, If the President doesn't have authority over them . . . Who does ?

 

 

 

 

And no, Congress is not the answer.

they being mike davis and nc.

I'm partial to this definition:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3941081/

 

Definitions are given in an attempt to identify phenomena and to delineate examples from non-examples. Expertise is consensually defined as elite, peak, or exceptionally high levels of performance on a particular task or within a given domain. One who achieves this status is called an expert or some related term, such as virtuoso, master, maven, prodigy, or genius. These terms are meant to label someone whose performance is at the top of the game. An expert's field of expertise can be almost anything from craftsmanship, through sports and music, to science or mathematics. People usually agree on examples of expertise, like Yo-Yo Ma (musical performance), Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (ballroom dancing), Antiques Roadshow Appraisers, Albert Einstein (physics), Tiger Woods (golf), Bette Davis (acting), Nelson Mandela (politics), or Hillary Rodham Clinton (international relations).

Why different terms? Each term carries with it a slightly nuanced meaning. Shaded meanings vary in their emphasis on experience or constitutional factors as the source of high levels of performance. The term chosen to characterize superior performance carries with it an implied cause. Like expert, virtuoso or master is the result of hard work and long training. If talent is involved, it is a talent for hard labor. In contrast, prodigy, like genius, results from an endowment, which shows up early in life without the benefit of training.

It might be appealing to the layperson to believe that a genius is just born that way. Elite performance just comes natural to a genius; you don't have to invest all that time and effort on training, because if you don't have what it takes you'll never get there. Moreover, you don't have to explain why you never had a significant insight, because you just didn't inherit the right abilities or genes. But the facts seem to be that, although people do differ in something called ability or talent, in sports or medicine or any area of human endeavor, talent is a necessary starting point, a platform from which to begin. To become an elite performer one has to capitalize on his or her abilities. Training is the sine qua non.
