If Republicans Are "Racist" For Asking Ketanji Brown Jackson Tough Questions, What The Hell Is Joe Biden?

A Ku Klux Klan grand dragon!???

According to the same Democrats and media figures who ruthlessly smeared and continue to smear Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Republicans are evil and racist for posing tough questions to Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson.

So much so that on Wednesday, Cory Booker compared her to Harriet Tubman over the alleged "insults" she's faced from the right. Jackson meanwhile shed tears as Booker slavishly shoved his head right up her ass:

Spartacus is back, grab a bucket: SCOTUS nom and Booker cry as he makes drama over race and gender

dlvr.itSpartacus is back, grab a bucket: SCOTUS nom and Booker cry as he makes drama over race and gender · American Wire NewsCory Booker’s alter ego, “Spartacus,” returned this week to shed tears over Ketanji Brown Jackson’s treatment at the hands of Republicans.

And now the media predictably love Jackson even more than before. Unlike that “white male” Brett Kavanaugh. When he shed tears over being cruelly smeared in front of his family, that was just an act, you see?

The narratives from the left are obviously 100-percent bull, but the racial narrative is particularly nasty and disingenuous.

Here’s the reason why, courtesy the American Enterprise Institute:

As a senator, Biden warned President George W. Bush that if he nominated the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, he would filibuster and kill her nomination.

The story begins in 2003, when Bush nominated Judge Janice Rogers Brown to serve on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. ... Biden and his fellow Democrats filibustered her nomination, along with several other Bush circuit court nominees, all of whom had majority support in the Senate. Columnist Robert Novak called it “the first full-scale effort in American history to prevent a president from picking the federal judges he wants.” ...

Bush renominated her in 2005. Brown was eventually confirmed by a vote of 56 to 43 — after Democrats released her and several other Bush nominees in exchange for Republican agreement not to eliminate the filibuster for judicial nominations. Biden voted a second time against her nomination. He never explained why, if Brown was so radical, Democrats let her through but killed 10 other Bush nominees.

The following month, when Justice Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement, Brown was on Bush’s shortlist to replace her. She would have been the first Black woman ever nominated to serve as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. But Biden appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” to warn that if Bush nominated Brown, she would face a filibuster. ... What Biden threatened was unprecedented. There has never been a successful filibuster of a nominee for associate justice in the history of the republic. Biden wanted to make a Black woman the first in history to have her nomination killed by filibuster. Bush eventually nominated Samuel A. Alito Jr.

Oh, but there’s more.

Do the words Clarence Thomas ring a bell?

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

47 out of 58 Senate Dems (including Biden) voted NO on confirming Clarence Thomas as the 2nd black SCOTUS justice in history. Then (joined by Biden) they spent years using the Jim Crow filibuster to block Janice Rogers Brown to DC Appellate Court. Ideology might be a factor?

Hey @JoeBiden, remember this?

But God forbid Republicans ask Jackson questions about her confirmed habit of doling out light sentences to pedophiles.

God forbid!

Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton

The Washington Post confirms that the defendant Judge Brown Jackson sentenced to just 3 months—even though guidelines called for 8-10 years—continued to offend after being released. If he had been sentenced appropriately, this would not have happened.

HAWLEY: "I just don‘t understand why...you could give this guy three months in prison when the probation office...recommended 18 months...Do you have anything to add?" JACKSON: "No Senator."

Like I asked in the title, if Republicans are racist for simply asking Jackson tough but fair questions, then what the hell is President Joe Biden!?
