Capehart: If I Wouldn't Get Fired, I'd Curse Tucker Carlson for Wanting Jackson's Test Score
Newsbusters.org ^ | 3/21/2022 0939 hrs edt | Mark Finkelstien

On his MSNBC show Sunday morning, after playing a clip of Tucker Carlson calling for the release of the LSAT (Law School Admission Test) score of Ketanji Brown Jackson, Biden's Supreme Court justice nominee, Jonathan Capehart said to his liberal Democrat guest:

"Senator Hirono, I'm not going to curse because it's Sunday and I'd get fired. Can you talk about why what Tucker Carlson just said is so repugnant?"

Hirono failed to answer Capehart's question. She didn't/couldn't venture anything as to why it was "repugnant" to ask for Brown Jackson's LSAT score. The most she could muster was to suggest that there's little Carlson says "that enlightens anybody."

Given Hirono's failure, you might have thought that Capehart would have taken a moment himself to explain what was so repellent about Carlson's request. But like Hirono, Capehart was unwilling, or unable, to do so.

So . . . just exactly what is wrong with asking for her LSAT score? If we were choosing among doctors, would it be "repugnant" to ask for their MCAT scores? Capehart must see this as a suggestion that Jackson is black, therefore she's unqualified. Before Jackson was named, Capehart suggested because she was black, she'd be more qualified and brilliant than anyone who came before her.

Hirono suggested that instead of learning Brown Jackson's LSAT score, we should look at her "experience."

Brown Jackson's LSAT score [like Obama's college transcripts] will probably never be publicly disclosed. It's not usually done in Supreme Court....

Crazy mazey sinks again. LSATs? Enough to get into law school with a donation from her dad and a boost for racial equity. In the end, not everyone finishes top of the class and I don't know where katangee ended up. Would she form opinions on the written consititution or the "living" constitution.

Would it be repugnant if I asked to see Macy Hirono’s high school diploma? Because I have my doubts.

The goal of any Democrat SCOTUS nomination is to fundamentally transform (destroy) our nation.

Have we looked at any other Supreme Court nominees LSATs? Anyway, I doubt those test scores will be the negstives about her.

A quick question: Have lots of conservatives been throwing poop and pee on the doors of Congress, vandalizing public property and committing other crimes, rioting, and otherwise losing their minds over this gal lately? (Has this happened at all?)

Liberals freaked over DT’s SCOTUS choices. They’re STILL freaking, even though the deal is done. Someone politely asks for Ms Jackson’s college scores and he’s probably going to get death threats over it.

I’m thinking we no longer owe liberals an opportunity to express themselves.

If Capeheart is so sure of her brilliance he should be thrilled to have the score released.

I don’t agree with Tucker on foreign policy, but I do admire his fearlessness on some topics. These are valid questions to ask, but office workers are leery about bringing up these subjects at the water cooler, never mind a talk show host at risk from advertiser boycotts.

The LSAT is part word game, part essay. Frankly, its connection to the actual practice of law is tenuous at best. That said...why won't she release her test scores? SCOTUS is kind of, you know, like super important.

I don’t really care what her scores were, but I think she has said or written several things that I definitely find repugnant

It really doesn't matter. Two reasons: 1.) It is racist and sexist to nominate a justice based on their race and sex. Just by going along with the charade it is racist and sexist. 2.) Anyone appointed by Biden will be a leftist. That's an immediate disqualification.

Confirmation hearings should solely about destroying the leftist sitting there. Republicans need to fight every day and in every way to destroy leftist policies and leftist personally. It is not the time to be nice and write polite letters. That does not work.

The LSAT also includes logic games because logical thinking is important in the law. So they say.

Capehart is married to “husband”, Nick Schmit, a former assistant chief of protocol at the State Department.

Thomas got his Yale JD before race quotas. No one has dared ask about the Wise Latina. Tucker is fearless.

In other words, her job is more important than her beliefs.

She’s a Capitalist with a capital C.

That’s the word game. You can buy a book that tells you how to play it.

LSAT scores are a non starter....

They are entry level tests used by Law Schools to decide whether to admit someone...

IF the cutoff is say 60 out of 100, and she scored a 61 out of 100, or 100 out of 100 who the hell cares.

I am not sure what Tucker’s end game is with this little play other than to get raitings.

Even if she barely passed the BAR, or failed it a time or two before passing, again not sure what that’s going to prove.

If there is something to go after this woman on its the fact she has openly admitted she things mandatory sentences for CHILD MOLESTERS are too burdensome.......

That alone should disqualify her from any bench in my book.

If they vote not to confirm her, the MSM will say they “lynched” her.
