First black woman on the bench. Wow let’s keep saying that instead of just her credentials. It’s a disservice to her if she is in fact qualified. What a shame

[james]

Choosing a judge based on race and gender is simply identity politics at its worst💯🤮👎🏽

[joeohhboy]

And most importantly.... her most distinguishing and crowning her pigment and her plumbing. She must feel so proud and complete

[npc]

I wonder what it feels like to be hired only because of your race and sex?

[ridemfast]

Black - check. Female - check. Nominate her. Maybe, just maybe, these personal identity qualifications will work, this time.

Somebody needs to do a deeper dive on Hawley

[journeymansmitty]

Personally I'm not against anyone for coming up in this world but not a lot of people are going to agree with her being a nominee🤔

[mikefort]

This will be a fun fight. Basically the "she shouldn't be confirmed because she's black" vs. "she should be confirmed only because she's black".

[timmytwaddles]

She is Good, but I would Like her Better if her Skin were Darker.

[mattf]

Wish the best for Ms. Jackson should she successfully be nominated. However, we've seen how the last experiment with giving people a job based on their skin color and gender goes....See Kamala Harris.

[joeohhboy]

She must be so proud. She was picked way ahead of all others solely based on her lifetime of achievements.

How is that potato thing going for. That was only year one, which by all measures will be potato’s best year. This next year will have no surprises. The war in Europe will intensify under potato’s supervision. Energy and food will become very expensive, at which point a 2 year recession will occur.

[brunoantony]

She's black, a woman, and alive. PUT HER ON THE SUPREME COURT!!!

[gaggleduck]

Our country is still caught up in a one sided judge ruling.

[mistertinkler]

Thanks for the Laptop Hunter NYT says it’s real tell the Big Guy too!

[tonygoochafanchi]

She will turn the Supreme Court into a laughing stock.

[MG-ygsp]

Disgusting. This is affirmative action in action. She is not qualified to sit on a local school committee never mind the supreme court.

[lapointe]

If you know your going to confirm. What's "The Point" in These Proceeding ?

[ralphfiligenzi]

Lousy choice for a nominee but then again every decision Biden makes is lousy. Lets go Brandon!

[justk]

Can't seem to find the heart to support somene who cant even define what a women is.
