Justice Jackson tells the Alabama solicitor general that the Framers of the 14th Amendment did NOT intend it to be “race neutral or race blind,” so taking race into account to protect minority voting rights is perfectly constitutional. Progressive originalism at work. pic.twitter.com/aCXAq2CnJu

Seems like a stretch to me

She has burst through the gates pushing racial determinism and race-based law with a fury. She's already pressed for legal ambiguity to favor the govt rather than the people. Already a disaster, just two days in.

Let me guess, the twitterati wrote yaaasss queen a thousand times in response.

Seems like an anti-American racist to me.

"Progressive Originalism" What a freaking joke.

You can't make this stuff up. Clown world. Every day it's just one thing after another from the left.

Well Biden did select her so the SC got what he wanted.

Biden's major two agendas are climate change and "equality" and he is destroying the country in implementing them.

Biden is the puppet. Someone else made the call.

He's not calling anything anymore besides wanting pudding.

Remember how the left called for ACB to be impeached for "lying" during confirmation hearings?

Also, she thinks the framers wrote the 14th amendment.

No surprise she is a historically ignorant, obtuse 100 percent politically-driven leftist bigot on the bench, as anyone paying attention expected.

Never, ever vote for a democrat. A 50-50 Manchin-senate is what enabled her confirmation here. No one should pay one iota of attention to whatever lies people like Walker's estranged gay son have to spew in October. Vote AGAINST CCP Dems first, second and always.

Tokens

She could somehow conjure up an imaginary intent of the 14th Amendment with her Progressive Originalism magical thinking, but she couldn't tell a Senate confirmation panel what a woman is when she's literally sitting on the correct answer.

Clown. World.

Correct!. The 14th amendment was fallout after the Civil War and passed by a congress strongly influenced by that event. Not even close the the attitude of the framers. She is promoting historical stupidity.

It is phrased as "framers of the 14th amendment". We generally reserve that term for the Founding Fathers, but it's phrased a different way.

BTW - the GOP instituted that amendment to prohibit Democrats who rebelled against the US from holding elected office.

So she is saying judges could use any particular metric they deem necessary to achieve a nebulous and undefined standard of "equality".

What could go wrong?

14th only applies to "African Americans"? What about other black Americans?

So, does she want minorities corralled together electorally in ridiculous constructs of districts by race with the intent to use race as the criterion to elect token representatives to office, or does she want them to have the ability to influence the outcomes of more actual elections by being an influential margin of victory in a larger number of elections, so that while their representative might not be a minority as often, the politics of more representatives are influenced hy minority groups.

Which is better?

Taking these sorts of positions (and putting them in writing) means she's going to be on the dissenting end of a lot of 6-3 opinions that could have been 5-4 or even 4-5 the other way.

But Biden made history and washed away his past sins. That's all that matters to libs.

This is history! So proud of @JoeBiden and what he has done for #SCOTUS #SCOTUSConfirmation#cleanarticulate pic.twitter.com/YL1Cp93Bsl

So if the argument is that 14th amendment only applies to the freed slaves from back then because of the "framer's intent," then logically she agrees the 1st through 13th wouldn't apply to anyone outside of those framer's intent?

What a terrible theory. You could also reasonably deny citizenship to anyone that isn't white or a descendant of a free slave based on this logic.

Meaning the 14th Amendment would no longer guarantee equal protection under the law.

Thank God for Trump getting 3 SC nominees instead of the probable 2. If he doesn't do that, then two of these complete racist POSs find their way to the SC instead of just Jackson.

She's a critical theorist. The language of the law means whatever she needs it to mean in the moment, no matter how implausible and ridiculous the interpretation might be. Language and therefore law becomes just a cudgel with which which to exercise power, which they mislabel as justice.

Glad she is the first AA SC Justice.

Finally a voice for AAs.

Your half black voice wasn't enough?

California already removed laws meant to prevent discrimination based on race. At first, I thought that was amazingly regressive ... but then I realized what progressives were trying to achieve with that.

The Vice President of the United States essentially told the press that emergency aid in Florida will be prioritized to people of certain groups (equity) not personal need.

This is what's happening folks. You can sit here and deny it all you want, but legal and socially acceptable racism alive and well. There are many public examples beyond what I just mentioned if you care to look for them.

Funny thing is that when I try to sound the alarm with my peers, they tell me that I come off as a supremacist.

In the future we won't vote by geographic district. We will vote by social construct. That is what these people want.

The goal is painfully transparent

They want Dem states to be able to gerrymander themselves into totally uncompetitive races that Dems always safely win but want to prevent red states from doing the same and demanding lots of safe Dem seats and districts carved out in the name of "racial fairness" to keep them purple enough to win one day and then make them into uncompetitive blue states

Pretty much

All Dems get 1 vote

All non-Dems get 3/5ths of a vote

Not that I agree with her interpretation but I think she said the framers of the amendment, not the constitution.
