Americans who followed the four-day confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson last week were treated to a rare display of brilliance, principle and unflappability that demonstrate her fitness, to say the very least, to sit on the nation’s high court. The next step should be obvious and simple. Jackson should be confirmed without delay.
The nominee was forbearing and masterful in responding to the series of non sequiturs hurled at her during long days of questioning by a handful of strutting, preening Republican senators more concerned with the coming midterm elections and their social media mentions than with determining whether Jackson has the integrity and the intellect needed in a Supreme Court justice. Her testimony showed that she does, and her straightforward responses to questions about irrelevant political and policy matters showed the remarkable measure of both knowledge and patience that enabled her to be such a capable trial judge.
It was the exuberant celebration by Democrat Cory Booker of New Jersey, who doubled down on the other attributes that make Jackson different from the justices who came before her, that visibly moved her.
It was clear what Booker meant: Jackson got where she is by being twice as smart, twice as determined, twice as hard-working and twice as tolerant as any number of white men who served on the court during an era — the majority of the nation’s existence — when neither Black people nor women were permitted to dedicate their lives and intellect to the law. That’s the caliber of person the Senate is now being asked to confirm to the Supreme Court. So for the nation’s sake, let’s get on with it.

Was not able to answer a simple question easily answered by virtually any five year old child.
They must be doing some Good Drugs out in L.A.
she is a threat to fair and equal justice.... racist
“Brilliance”...??? SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT A WOMAN IS.
It wouldn’t matter if she barked like a dog. Democrats and RINOs only care about her peepee and skin color.
May God protect the children
She could have just quoted the Bible on what a woman is but that probably would have caused her to spontaneously combust.
She’s probably just as clean and articulate as any other Affirmative Action nominee that they can come up with. Besides, if you put a picture of her and Kamala Harris side-by-side, do you think Joe Biden could tell you which one is which?
Who else looked to see if this was from the Bee?
She is just plain Mo 'More'.
So yeah, let's 'Get On With It' - or 'Get It On' -
or something.

Democrats say they wanted a black woman. How do they know KaBenji is a woman or even black?
Brilliance? She appears to be the dumbest nominee evah.
The Emperor’s new clothes are splendid!
They RINOs will vote for her because she has a nice crease in her pants.
She knows what a woman is. She just refuses to admit it.....which is very telling as well as frightening as to what she’s going to do at the SCOTUS.
The LA Times is completely out of touch with reality, but I guess I’m not surprised (see Tagline).
More clueless assclowns NOT living in reality.
Supporting a black liberal, woman nominated for the Supreme Court. How courageous of the LAT!
She’s a fool of the highest order.
She’s hardly qualified to clean floors much less interpret our sacred Constitution.
