Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made a "mathematically absurd claim" about Black newborns in her dissenting opinion in the affirmative action decision, attorney Ted Frank wrote in a Wednesday Wall Street Journal op-ed.
Jackson argued in her dissent that diversity "saves lives" and that it was essential for "marginalized communities."
"It saves lives. For marginalized communities in North Carolina, it is critically important that UNC and other area institutions produce highly educated professionals of color. Research shows that Black physicians are more likely to accurately assess Black patients’ pain tolerance and treat them accordingly (including, for example, prescribing them appropriate amounts of pain medication). For high-risk Black newborns, having a Black physician more than doubles the likelihood that the baby will live, and not die," she wrote.
Frank wrote that Jackson's claim came from a 2020 study, according to a footnote in the dissent, but added that the study didn't match Jackson's claim.
"The study makes no such claims. It examines mortality rates in Florida newborns between 1992 and 2015 and shows a 0.13% to 0.2% improvement in survival rates for black newborns with black pediatricians (though no statistically significant improvement for black obstetricians)," he said.

She’s not a mathematician, or a biologist.
Would you hire Ketanji as your lawyer?
I wouldn’t.
At her senate hearings she also declared that she didn’t have a judicial philosophy.
But hey, she has a lovely smile.
Surprise, surprise, surprise. WTH does one expect from an affirmative action hire?
She was an Affirmative Action appointment herself.
Recently watched an hour-long YouTube documentary on the ‘Grim Sleeper’ killings. Goes deep inside a neighborhood who watched it all happen.

What an embarrassment this woman is. She is exactly what you expect that treasonous fool Biden to put on the highest court in the land and shame on the Republicans who voted this incompetent idiot.
So by her logic she you have to be the protected race or gender to be a doctor. The farce is strong in this one. She cannot identify a woman so she borderline contemptible.
Says at least as much about her law clerks as well.
Somebody give the low I.Q. dumb ass her reparation check and tell her to go away. The Feral courts already have more azhos than we need.
Research shows that Black physicians are more likely to accurately assess Black patients’ pain tolerance and treat them accordinglySuch a canard. If ever true, it no longer is. But to uphold the lie we have to lower academic and professional standards for physicians.
everything she says is a lie...its kind of like that now dead ceo of the sub that perished...he expressed his desire not to have 50 yro white guys working on his sub.....but I guess he really should have thought about right?...and now he is dead.
Tanji ain’t no STEM kid, now.
She don’t want nuffin’ to do wit facts.
Good thing she’s not an affirmative action hire at some engineering firm
Good thing she’s not an affirmative action hire at some engineering firm....
I think she will do more damage as a supreme court judge.
Neither a biologist nor a mathematician, and not fit to be on the Supreme Court either.
Nor a legal scholar....maybe not even a scholar.
