Two Constitutions is One Too Many

The U.S. Senate confirmed nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on April 7, 2022. When Justice Stephen Breyer finally retires, she will be the 116th justice on the Supreme Court.

Republicans took the high road and did not attack Judge Jackson as the Democrats have done during hearings for Republican nominees. There were no accusers coming out of the woodwork to smear the judge nor highlight what was in her high school yearbook. That was good. Republicans did try to get answers to substantive questions, but to little avail.

Judge Jackson stayed silent, mostly, about the Constitution, much as she stayed silent when Senator Marsha Blackburn asked her to define what a woman is; in other words, Jackson never really spelled out her judicial philosophy -- she did describe her ‘methodology’ -- nor did she reflect on whether she values the Constitution or not.

This is a tell and a symptom. It is a tell in that Judge Jackson’s silence about the Constitution says that she is not a passionate defender of our original Constitution. It is a symptom in that the sickness known as wokism has reached the very heart of our Republic, which no longer sits on the firm foundation of the founding document.

I’m betting that Jackson was silent about the Constitution because she is devoted to another constitution, the one that has been developed by the political left over the past 100 years.

SCOTUS has been damaged by the extortion put on Roberts by Obama and his refusal to kill Obama care, and the election fraud of 2020 and the disease installed Sotomiyor. One more cancerous puke to an already compromised court with Americas enemies at the ready

To my mind, any justice prospect that talks about considering or being influenced by other foreign courts and institutions over what the US Constitution says is an automatic flag. Likewise for those who talk about the Constitution as a ‘living document.’ Words mean things, and ‘living’ just means they’ll equivocate and divine adaptive meaning to fit their predisposed values.
