The first time she opens her ugly mouth as a Justice and she proves her(???)self wholly unqualified.

This is an interesting case and even from a staunch conservative such as myself, not a slam dunk either way.

The more extensively you analyze it, the deeper you find yourself in the weeds.

The framers of the Constitution did not write the 14th amendment.

They put a retard commie on the bench just because she is black. (Well that, and a commie)

What did anyone expect? This mental midget is in a position to do great damage to what is left of our country.

“secure rights of the freed former slaves”

They are no former slaves alive today that this would apply to.
They are just plain old Americans.

It is not for any other equity or equality.

It was for former Slaves. It wasn’t about color, it was forced servitude that mattered.

“Ketanji, you don’t see no slaves ‘round here anymo’”

Just another planted BLM communist loud mouth trashing the Founding Fathers and our Constitution. How you going to handle this one, Roberts? She’s going to destroy the SCOTUS from within.

Behold the wisdom and fruits of pandering and tokenism.

KNJ needs to be reminded that not everyone else in the world is obsessed with race.

So her argument is that in the 1860s legislators were positing affirmative action as a foundation for the 14th amendment to assure that discrimination is a tool to protect against the discrimination it prohibits. None of these legislators, or anyone in American society, had any notion of the affirmative action concepts developed by the Congress in the 1960s and she cannot make up the fiction that we will take affirmative action concepts developed by 1960s legislators and retroactively assign those notions to 1860s legislators as their intent in drawing up the 14th amendment. They had no such intention. Tortured logic to get her to the result she wants to uphold race preferences in admissions.

She’s a fool, and by opening her mouth she has removed any doubt that she’s a fool.

She defines equality as equity, not understanding the difference.

Congressman John A. Bingham of Ohio, the primary author of the first section of the 14th Amendment, intended that the amendment also nationalize the Bill of Rights by making it binding upon the states.
14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Civil Rights (1868)...
