Ketanji Brown Jackson sat before senators pretending to be lawyers but auditioning for cable slots. She stayed calm while they demanded answers about children’s books, about CRT, about anything except jurisprudence.
The breakdown:
The nominee. Steady, measured, refusing to give them what they wanted. Her silence was sharper than any words.
The senators. Grandstanding. Asking about cartoons instead of constitutional law. Quoting scripture while ignoring precedent.
The moment. The first Black woman nominee to the Supreme Court endured a circus so the committee could generate fundraising clips.
Justice in America isn’t blind. It’s broadcast.
