Democrats Learn What Consequences Are During Ketanji Brown Jackson's Confirmation Hearing

The confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson began on Capitol Hill on Monday. The prior reactions in the mainstream media were what you’d expect. Namely, endless, slobbering profiles and claims that any questioning of the judge’s record would be racist and out of bounds.

When the time came, Sen. Dick Durbin opened the hearing by pleading with Republicans for “civility.”

Of course, Republicans owe Durbin and his party nothing of the sort. After all, it’s been less than four years since one of the most disturbing, disgusting congressional and media spectacles in US history: The Brett Kavanaugh hearings.

We all remember the eleventh-hour letter brought forth by Sen. Dianne Feinstein that blew up Kavanaugh’s nomination process. We remember the fact that Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s chief accuser, couldn’t provide any corroborating details, including not being able to even say where the supposed rape occurred all those decades ago. We remember the Julie Swetnick travesty where mainstream news outlets ran with wild tails of gang rape brought by a client of now-felon Michael Avenatti. We remember the tortured performance of Sheldon Whitehouse talking about “boofing” and quizzing Kavanaugh on his high-school yearbook. We even remember when Democrat protesters broke into and occupied the Senate office building, something that would have been labeled an insurrection had it been accomplished by Republicans.

Then there was Amy Coney Barret, who had to suffer attacks on her adopted children and claims she was part of a religious cult. Never mind the false allegations about her record.
