Great essay. But, I’m not sure there have been lesser minds on the Court. The comment about the First Amendment is ignorant for a 7th grader let alone a Justice of the Supreme Court. She’s a wholly inappropriate and intellectually inferior blinded by her racial animus and partisanship. A foaming disaster.
Indeed. KJB opened the door for all this nonsense with ‘trans women’ and the leftist progressive liberals have run amok with it to the deterrence of women and women’s rights. We can blame her for this mockery of women.
I have no objection to race being a political consideration among QUALIFIED CANDIDATES. I wouldn't want to hamstring the Democrats, the party of slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow.
Facing slim Senate margins, race was clearly a political consideration in whipping the votes needed to confirm two Black Justices. Clarence Thomas, nominated by George H.W. Bush, was confirmed 52–48; Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed 53–47.
Similar margins establish nothing about comparable judicial ability.
Thomas earned my respect through his jurisprudence. Jackson’s CASA dissent illustrates why I find her judicial judgment deficient: she treated the statutory limits on judicial remedies as an obstruction to a grander moral mission. Those limits are part of the law she took an oath to apply. Constitutional craftsmanship requires explaining where judicial authority comes from and where it ends. Dressing impatience with those constraints in constitutional language doesn’t improve the reasoning; parts of that argument deserve Crayola in the margins.
The Robert Jackson comparison sharpens the disappointment. Roosevelt’s attorney general and America’s chief Nuremberg prosecutor left an extraordinary legal legacy even before he took the bench.
He was a Democrat, and I readily acknowledge his greatness. Schoolchildren deserve to learn precisely which Justice Jackson earned that distinction, and why.

She is an embarrassment on an epic scale. Not even smart enough to recognize how dumb she is.
All Joe Biden and Barrack Obama's fault!!!
May they all twist in the wind.
Never forget that during her confirmation hearing, she could not, or would not, define what a woman is.

She took an oath to uphold the law - the same law she constantly denigrates and mocks with her ridiculous moralizing.
