Barrett is literally asking "how did you even pass the bar?".
Like, open mockery forever set in the public record.
Impressive stuff.
A lesson here - Don't bring the diversity hires in places where they're visible, boys.
Yet when comparing the two justices, it’s Ketanji Brown Jackson that’s more qualified.
ACB: Graduated from Norte Dame Law School. Clerked for Laurence Silberman on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and for Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court. Joined Norte Dame faculty as a professor.
She served as a judge for 7th Circuit Court of Appeals for 3 years.
American Bar Association rated her “Well Qualified” overall, although a minority of them rated her as simply “Qualified.”
KBJ: graduated from Harvard Law School, served as editor of Harvard Law Review, clerked for Judge Patti B. Saris of the U.S. District Court, Judge Bruce M. Selya of the U.S. Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Was a lawyer at Miller Cassidy Larroca & Lewin and Goodwin Procter in private practice; assistant special counsel to the U.S. Sentencing Commission and as an assistant federal public defender in public practice.
She served as a judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for 8 years and 2 months, and also US Court of Appeals for DC Circuit for another year before she became a SCOTUS justice.
She literally has public and private trial practice that ACB does not, and was a judge for basically triple the amount of time that ACB was.
Her rating from the ABA was a unanimous rating of Well Qualified.
And yet here we are, with dumb right wing tweets about her being the supposed least qualified justice ever. It all just reeks of the same racist nonsense that bubbles up from the Right anytime a minority with some power dares invalidate their right wing views.
It doesn’t do any good for me to call them on it though, as it turns out that telling racist people that they’re being racist isn’t a “winning message” for them.
