The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson have concluded and it’s looking like the votes will be there for a final confirmation, but senators’ questions are still being answered in written form.
Here’s one of Judge Jackson’s written answers to a question from Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, and it’s about natural rights:

Any senator who confirms this judge will be justifying their own impeachment.

At least, if not more.
Well one thing we know for sure, Ketanji isn’t a biologist.

The Bill of Rights is anathema to Jackson who simply affirms she is Godless.
Her god is strictly man, and power.. particularly her own in this case.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The same way she has made to being nominated for SC -- she is the correct sex and skin color; and, with the correct political ideology. That is all they were looking for.
We now know why Lindsey Graham called her an "evasive witness".
Her answer is clearly “no”, she does not believe humans have any “natural rights”. But she did leave a little wiggle room so she can make up rights for people she favors by race, gender identity, religion and political views.
Leftists don’t even accept the term “natural rights” as legitimate, and instead use “human rights”. It might seem the same, but it’s really just a term for rights given to people by the state, and they are whatever they decide you need at the moment based on politics.
We are going to have a lot of really messed up kids by the end of this.
Wow. That would have been an easy answer for a normal, well-adjusted person.
Leftism is definitely a mental disorder.
She privately believes only people of color are born with human or natural rights.
So she’s good with patriots or any other group being put in concentration camps and/or the world’s citizens being enslaved to the elites.
Because anyone who doesn’t have an opinion on Natural Rights as a judge, only believes they do not exist.
Nor does the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.
Two sites that I will not use are youtube and twitter.
How virtuous of you.
She undoubtedly believes that rights are granted by the government.🙄
Your screen capture of twitter is blurred and with my old eyes, impossible to read. You tube is an advertising site and takes more time to wade through than I’ve found its worth.
Sorry if you’re offended.
