A Teachable Moment

Judge Jackson is a far-left activist. She will be a reliable vote for the continued killing of preborn babies. She is a threat to religious liberty, and she is soft on crime. She will be significantly further left than the liberal justice she has been nominated to replace. 

Judge Jackson is an admirer of the 1619 Project, which preaches the poison of critical race theory. The 1619 Project and other CRT advocates claim that our founding fathers were racists, and that our Constitution remains racist. 

How can Judge Jackson uphold our Constitution if she believes the big lie of the left that America and our Constitution are racist?

In fact, some critical race theory proponents who have gone so far as to call the Constitution "trash," have spent millions supporting Jackson's confirmation.

As Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell noted yesterday:

"Fringe groups that attack the Supreme Court's legitimacy and want partisan court-packing spent a great deal of time and money promoting Judge Jackson for this nomination. And once nominated, prominent soft-on-crime activists and open-borders pressure groups quickly rallied to her side. The Senate needs to understand why."

But don't take my word for it or Sen. McConnell's. Joe Biden has said repeatedly that his judges will be far-left, pro-abortion radicals, and he delivered on that promise with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Senate conservatives began to expose Jackson's extremism yesterday, and they must continue to do so as aggressively as they can every day these Judiciary Committee hearings take place and every day the full Senate debates her nomination.

This is a teachable moment for the American people, and a major opportunity for Senate conservatives to expose the extremism of today's progressive left.

The Senate is split 50/50, and the odds favor her confirmation. But if Republicans stand united, it will put immense pressure on Joe Manchin and other Democrat senators from center-right states. 

It's a long shot, but her confirmation could be blocked. Or, she would join the Supreme Court under a cloud as the only justice ever confirmed on a tie-breaking vote, without a clear Senate majority.

Either way, no Senate Republican should have any role in putting such an extreme left-wing activist on the Supreme Court.
