Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson came up against Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as her SCOTUS hearing continued on Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee. It did not go well.
Cruz exposed multiple contradictions in her statements during questioning.
According to Townhall, Jackson was asked about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and she denied having anything to do with it. “I’ve never studied Critical Race Theory, and I’ve never used it, it doesn’t come up in the work that I do as a judge,” Jackson declared.
But Cruz pointed out that she gave a speech in 2015 saying CRT was a factor in sentencing, like other areas of law.

“I also try to convince my students that sentencing is just plain interesting on an intellectual level, in part because it melds together myriad types of law—criminal law, of course, but also administrative law, constitutional law, critical race theory, negotiations, and to some extent, even contracts,” Jackson said previously.
Jackson claimed that she was talking about “policy” and that it “didn’t relate” to what she did as a judge, but however she wants to try to wiggle out of what she said, she gave CRT weight and consideration, even according to her own words, as a factor to consider in making policy. If she thinks she was splitting hairs and getting out from under that one with her answer, not so much.
Jackson also painted CRT as theory taught in a law school but Cruz had even more receipts, saying that the curriculum at the Georgetown Day School where Jackson was also a school trustee — and thus presumably has input into what is being taught — was “filled and overflowing” with CRT. The school is not a law school but a Pre-K-12 private school in Washington, D.C. Cruz pulled out a few of the books related to it in the curriculum, including a book about abolishing the police.

According to Cruz, some of the books were assigned or recommended for kids ages four to seven.
Not “in the library.” ASSIGNED to kids aged 4-7. https://t.co/Qt5SgeOpHz

Jackson claimed that she didn’t know whether CRT was taught in the school, despite her position at the school. Then she tried to amend her prior answer and say she thought he was referring to public schools.
Judge Jackson said that she did not believe that critical race theory was taught in schools.

Again this is an evasion of the greater point — she’s on the board of a school teaching CRT. This is what she is supporting or she wouldn’t be on the board there. There’s no way to get around that as a board member she’s involved in it.
Now, at least she recognizes it’s something that she should run away from, that she knows is going to hurt her chances, likely even with more moderate Democrats and getting any bipartisan support. If all the Republicans vote against her, she can still be confirmed if all the Democrats vote for her and Kamala Harris breaks the tie, but Jackson would need all the Democrats — she can’t afford to lose any of them. As I previously wrote, there’s already an open question about the Democrats hiding records on Jackson’s work on the U.S. Sentencing Commission as well as questions about her being soft on crime and pedophiles.
But her responses on Tuesday didn’t help her cause with Republicans.
This CRT monster does not belong in government and Cruz demonstrated that beyond any reasonable doubt.
But the leftwing media will dance around that and call him a racist.
She’s a black, female, democra, so she is void of conscience and lying and dissembling is natural to her. Just the sort of sewer dmon rat the Xiden regime loves.
when caught supporters of CRT deny it is being taught rather than defend it
maybe cuz its indefensible
Judge Jumanji Mustafa X Brown Jackson...
You know if Putin really wanted to screw with the minds of certain individuals, he would offer asylum to all Americans of European descent.
Can you imagine the reaction of all of the black racists and their so-called “white allies” if that were to happen?
It would be a hoot to see.
She will rubber stamp every anti-white policy.
Lock & load, Whitey.

Brown is part and parcel of the plan.
It’s a done deal. This anti-White, anti-American will be placed on the Supreme Court to wreak havoc, with Dem AND Republic votes. The way that most Republican senators went out of their way to kiss her a$$, even when asking “tough” questions, one wonders why they just didn’t crawl on their hands and knees and clean her shoes. She will be another nail in America’s Coffin.
” If all the Republicans vote against her, “
Not going to happen. Collins, Mitt, Miskowski, etc. at least 1 or all are going to vote to confirm.
Wouldn’t that be considered lying to Congress?.
Seems like a threat to our democracy and stuff.
Cruz and Hawley both did a great job.
We're a parody of ourselves and, in this current iteration, cannot last long.
So what. She’ll get a passing grade in Congress. RINOs will see to it. Probably over 80 votes. Even if she were sponsored by China and drove with a dog on top.
The four R’s: reading, writing, ‘rithmetic, and race.
Jackson is married to a white colonizer oppressor. The Democrat media should force him to publicly denounce his race.
