So, over the last three days, soon to be Supreme Court Justice Jackson had to fave her senate Judiciary committee hearing for the appointment. And the Republicans, probably seriously scared of this obviously very intelligent black woman, decided to be ludicrously openly racist and basically alternate between yelling at her a lot and saying how upset they were with Supreme Court decisions that allowed everything from gay marriage to inter-racial marriage. Oh, and saying how she gives weak sentences on child porn cases based on basically nothing other than that she tries to be compassionate towards the perpetrator as much as you can, while still almost always giving long sentences. It was disgusting stuff and I couldn't take much of it, every time one of the very unintelligent, performative-lunatic Republicans started speaking I had to turn it off.
Fortunately she is almost certain to be confirmed, but those people have a big problem and having to see such an accomplished and successful black woman sure seems to have brought out the worst in a bunch of them. Knowing that there were cameras there to broadcast their overdone histrionic outbursts to the world encouraged them even further, of course. Gross stuff.
