The worst thing about Jackson to me is that she epitomizes the negative traits many view black women to have and none of the positive. There are many highly intelligent black women that can speak with reason and scholarship, someone like Condoleeza Rice for instance. Yet having someone like Jackson who's main accomplishment is making Sotomayor look better is unfortunate because many black women will look up to her and see her as the brilliant trailblazer no matter what her opinions. They will see her actions inside and outside the courtroom as the way things should be and any criticism of her as racism and sexism even though she is a complete idiot from an objective point of view. Reading her opinions it is also clear she hires the biggest woke idiots she can find as clerks.
We can talk about Jackson all day long, and I won't disagree with any of it, but if she's such a moron, we also have to direct that criticism to the 10th Circuit Court which upheld that law, and required a SCOTUS review to begin with.
It should never have gotten to the Supreme Court, and there's something wrong if obvious decisions have to get that far in the first place.
Oh no doubt there are plenty of Federal judges that are idiots but Jackson is just far more visible. That's actually my point. When you look at Thurgood Marshall for instance he was articulate and made a name for himself with Brown vs Board of Education prior to being on the Court. He was super liberal but was more like Kagan or Breyer where they at least seemed to have read the Constitution and picked their battles while writing well thought out opinions that made them look foolish.
Jackson is the worst of all worlds in that she is a complete idiot who thinks she is brilliant while everyone shakes their head and cringes reading her opinions or listening to her speak. She speaks more than any other Justice and writes the longest opinions as well further exposing her idiocy.
