Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson flexes her “brilliance” in oral arguments. She also “had to be 10 times better than most” to succeed. So claims lame-duck Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), anyway. This is even though the man who nominated Jackson to the High Court, then-President Joe Biden, made clear he chose her based on sex and skin color.
None of this might warrant mention, do note, except for the fact that it relates to deeper issues. That is, the poisonous phenomenon that is diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and the matter of what constitutes true qualifications.
Reporting on the Crockett crock, The Western Journal’s Michael Schwarz writes:
Wednesday on the social media platform X, Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, a black woman who regularly obsesses over skin color, tried defending Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson by insisting that Jackson, a black woman appointed to SCOTUS on account of her sex and skin color, “had to be 10 times better than most” on account of her sex and skin color.
Needless to say, reasonable people cannot reconcile those two claims. A factor that aided a person’s advancement, in this case simply being a black woman, cannot also be the factor that forced said black woman to work harder and achieve more than others. It makes no sense.
