Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of men, the things that God has prepared for those who love Him - 1 Corinthians 2:9 . Blessings on blessings. Amen.
Amen!
Every line was flex and flex. Yass queen!!!
If God bring you too it, he’ll bring you through it. Definitely well spoken.
Tell it to the raped & tortured children she denied justice to.
Sometimes God will allow us to do things either food or evil it's humans choice. Sometimes it's not his will but our will.
The LOVE and support around this woman is amazing. I love the support system around her.
She is really lucky to have it!
what is a woman?
@@MrBrokoli99 She avoided the question on purpose.
@@MrBrokoli99 she is a politician.
@@candycrusher2024 because she is a sheep and a puppet
Her long statements for her decisions just shows she's an extremely thoughtful person.
She can't define what a woman is. It's pathetic.
@@networknomad5600 You are pathetic you Russian bot.
@@networknomad5600 True, next!
@@networknomad5600 Can you define what a woman is?
3 MONTHS for child& baby rapists, yeah, extremely thoughtful
What a blessing to have an individual sitting on the highest court in our nation with such passion, grace and judicial knowledge.
3 MONTHS for RAPING a child and FILMING IT!!!! Is THAT a blessing?
Guess that says ALOT about you
She qualifies in my book.
Must be a book VOID of anything worthwhile
@@obamathebigearsclown3979 go to hell hater..it's clear you're obsessed with US.. You're a fan & stalker ATP.. FOH
Mr catfish says it all. Sick f k
Very impressive statement. I don't know anything about her history as a judge (yet), but if this statement is any indication of her approach to life and the law, I'm impressed. I'm hopeful that we can have a fair and proper confirmation without letting political agendas get in the way.
I wished some of our representatives got your memo.
@@33ladyRAM Yep. Seems like some of them were behaving less like elected officials (and adults) and more like toddlers.
She is no good.
She is not impressive at all. Just doesn’t make sense she can’t define a woman. Ahh a fair and proper confirmation…..like democrats do??😂😂🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄
@@33ladyRAM like Democrats care!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
So intelligent, so insightful, so confident, my first supreme court crush! x
What an beautiful, articulate,, educated woman of God; I pray that God continues give her the wisdom of (Solomon) as she continues this confirmation hearing process.
Okay okay, but has she ever participated in a "Devil's Triangle"?
She can't define what a woman is. I'm pretty sure God made such a basic thing VERY clear.
@@networknomad5600 I agree
@@networknomad5600 God is not mentioned in the US Constitution.
She's a beautiful black woman. Her face is A1.
Judge Jackson personifies the American Dream and what it means to be an American.

You can tell she was a trial lawyer, because I am totally hooked on her fitness to sit on the bench after that opening statement. I don’t see how even the most conservative Republican Senator con give her a thumbs down after what she just said!
She can't define what a woman is. That's abhorrent. That itself brings doubt that she can uphold the Constitution in any meaningful way.
@@networknomad5600 I don’t think the Constitution defines what a woman is, either. And I don’t know of many statutes or judicial decisions that define what a woman is either. So I am not sure that defining a woman has any direct bearing on her job as a jurist.
@@Junkay2 It should. If you can't define something that simple there might be a problem
@@deanclark7747 As a lawyer, I know that somebody’s sex/gender isn’t a point lawyers debate. Nor are finders of fact (such as judges) required to make findings of fact concerning one’s sex/gender.
So (for me) to disqualify Judge Brown-Jackson because she didn’t do something she’s not required to do is silly.
@@networknomad5600 Moreover, I don’t think she said she CAN’T define what a woman is. She just declined to do so.

She sounds like a fantastic candidate!!!! With an exemplary family!!!!
Okay okay, but has she ever participated in a "Devil's Triangle"?
Very knowledgeable smart intelligent everything I wish I was. In helicopter maintenance I am too old now but she gives me inspiration. Tell her thank you.
As Al Green would say Simply Beautiful, Smart, Intelligent, Brilliant And Very Brave !!! 🙏🏾❤👍🏾✌🏾✊🏾
You have no wisdom or discernment. God help you
It will be interesting to see whether the questions she is asked rise to her level of dignity. I'm not holding my breath.
So far, I would say emphatically NO!!! Not even close.

Thank you for this historic speech.
God give her wisdom and boldnesd to uphold the Constitution.
A historic moment, a good historic moment
Yes, pedophiles can certainly breathe EASIER
We need an SNL "Celebrity Jeopardy" skit. The Will Ferrell's Trebeck "The category is: A Woman Is This." BLEEP! "Yes, Woopie Goldberg." (Played by Ketanji Brown-Jackson). "Goldberg": "Uh, what is....ummm, I'dunno." BLEEP! "Yes, Sean Connery." "Connery:" "Your mother is a woman Trebeck, I found that out last night!, HA! HA! HA!"
bigotry, and racist remarks will never stop necessary change...it may seem to slow it down but none the less change will happen...welcome aboard Justice Brown-Jackson you are a Remarkable candidate and qualified for this moment and relevant for this time
Okay okay, but has she ever participated in a "Devil's Triangle"?
Get rekt, here's your L.
What necessary changes would you be talking about?
Well spoken ❤️
Respect and bless you
Judge Ketanji I'm proud of you
That girl, Fairfax sold me. After, Judge Jackson! God Loves you!
[ = A woman, pl: women is a female human. The term woman is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. However, the term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "Women's rights". = ] Apparently she wants to stretch the definition so she can change the law to suit her.
Well spoken.
Born in 1970. Egads, I’m old!
Congraduletions! 🎉🎄🎊🏆🏅💐🌻🦋 MAY GOD LEAD YOU AND GIVE YOU WISDOM TO GIVE JUSTICE TO SPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO CAN'T SPEAK FOR THEM SELF I NEED URGENT HELP PLEASE🙏😢😢😢😢😢
Best part of today's hearing was when after lunch, R Grassley gave D Durbin some candy from a bag. They laughed and ate candy. Nice . Maybe we can get together for THE USA.
She’s an amazingly qualified and needed human for that bench. Omg she rocks!!!
All will be judged no will be exempt!
...and just think about how the good ole boys talked to and about her... More experience, legal skill, and historical knowledge than all of them put together.
Hope that very annoying photo guy right behind her gets moved away!
LOL hey let's hope he at least got some good shots! Don't discriminate against old timers okay!
😂😂😂
This is hope personified.
That's smooth
Im surprised they didnt post about Biden filibusters against the first black women's nomination
Ted Cruz spoke of it.
I think that Biden has realized some of his mistakes.
She is a worthy and faithful candidate to be a Supreme Court judge
She is thoughtful, articulate,inelegant, and respectful judge. Congratulations on your new position.
Hollywood loves you.
Hope justice will come for blacks.
A perfect example of intellect, intelligence, brains and beauty mixed with maturity and humility. The epitome of " CLASS" at ALL levels. Wishing you nothing but success and Gods blessings!
Powerful. 🙏🏼🇧🇸
Congratulations Supreme Court Justice Jackson!
I don’t think she qualifies. We need a Latino candidate.
We have a LatinA justice on SCOTUS already you twit
You do realize there is a Latina on the court. Shes been there for about 10 years
@@anthonymurphy818 That’s what I said
What an extraordinary woman.
Why her exactly? Did she do anything right? She couldn't answer what a man or woman is?
Blessings may god proctor you
Yes

God bless her. God bless America.
If only NATO, EU know how badly they needed Ukraine because of Ukraine was added to their defense then NATO, EU would have a backbone
She is bombb
She speaks of the " judge not by the color of the skin but the content of character" yet she and millions obviously believe color matters very much so 🙄
What does you’re comment have to do with anything she qualifies for??
@@christopherblackwell2024 Because we are constantly reminded that she is a Black Woman. Joe Biden even spoke about his pick will be some Black Woman. I thought race doesn't matter?
It matters! It’s just time out for one race to stop continually getting all the opportunities. Other people/races are qualified for many positions. Everyone needs to believe it’s possible to have an opportunity. But if you have never walked in those shoes, then you can’t speak on what you think you know about being always looked over because something you had no control over (your skin).
Also regardless how a person feel about Biden, he is trying to be fair and change behavior. It starts with each individual of us.
Race should be irrelevant. We are all Human Beings 🌏
I love D. C. always!

As a judge, do you think a defendant’s skin color should be a variable in ruling their guilt or innocence? For example, if a black man and a white man committed the exact same crime, should the white man have a lower bar to clear than the black man-in proving his innocence?
Oh, okay. So the law should be blind to skin color- a judge’s rulings should be based on the preponderance of evidence without prejudice for or against biologic incidentals like skin pigmentation. Is that correct?
So you would agree then… that the similarity or dissimilarity between the judge’s race and the defendant’s race has no bearing on how rulings should be made? In other words, it would be prejudicial for a white judge to issue lighter sentences to white defendants because they have the same skin color. Is that correct?
And would it also be prejudicial for a white judge to issue lighter sentences to white defendant’s because they have similar life experiences-due to their similar skin color?
And what about the balance of rulings based on skin color? If a judge recently tried five cases in which three whites were found guilty but only two blacks were found guilty… should the next case involving a black defendant end with a finding of guilty-so as to balance out the judge’s rulings based on skin color?
Oh, okay. So again… the law should be blind to skin color- a judge’s rulings should be based on the preponderance of evidence without prejudice for or against biologic incidentals like skin pigmentation or shared life experiences.
Well, I ask these questions because the president didn’t make it a secret-- he wanted a black female supreme court justice. He felt such a choice would better balance the court along racial and gender lines… and it would be good to have a justice on the bench who has lived the black female experience.
But based on your previous answers… skin color and/or common lived experiences based on skin color should have no bearing on how a judge rules. And so, do you not feel as if the stated reasoning behind your selection is prejudicial? How can you accept a position when the appointment there-of is based largely on an unjust and flawed decision-making methodology that you yourself wouldnt stand for in the courtroom?
Why is she ok with giving sex offenders or people who have thousands of explicit child pornography lesser sentences?? I'm not cool with that. AT ALL!! People need to stop looking at the color of her skin and pay more attention to her past decision making and whether she truly has the credentials. If she's capable great, if not...there are other black women who are just as qualified.
She is capable.
🧐🙄
Where did you read this information?
If she is Capable? You are A Whole Lie!
B**ch please. If thats the only thing yall can get on her then she more than qualifies. STFU🙄
I hope she got her current job as a judge wasn’t because of her gender and skin color.
I hope some day, u stopped being low life. Stupidest question. Adios
What an easy fly by this is for this African woman this black a black woman the second African-American to be nominated the fifth woman to be sitting and the second woman of color after our beautiful Latino women of color if that's a thing being fifth for second is wonderful but let's remember the first the great African-American men who sat in that seat and his struggle and he's fine how he grew up in the racist America and what he struggled was to get to where he is African American must be proud of that man that led this way to let an African-American president and many members of the Congress and Senate and local elections the first the never giving up to fight against racism and to appreciate those five other great women or four other great movement before her and that graders African-American man that she will be sitting next to that opened her way to sit on the supreme Court
Joe said he would nominate a woman, but she doesn't even know what a woman is?
Really !! The most ridiculous ignorant question and thats your take away !
@@barbaratarbet1902 You do know ignorance means lack of information and all the information she needs to state what a woman is the genitalia between her legs.
Graham and others really grilled her to the extreme. It's a shame that she is far left, otherwise I'd be all for her, even if she was center.
Yeah...right🤣
A person who can't even explain the word 'woman' should never be anywhere near a courtroom except as a defendant.
she can’t answer the question because any definition will make someone angry there’s no point
Just because we have shifted racism to another race doesn’t mean we beat racism. Racism is still very much alive and well in America.

Well DUH
How and when was racism shifted to another race???
part of me is so pissed off that they are not going to do to her what the DEMOCRATS did to Judge Kavanaugh .
but the bigger part of me is happy they are just giving her a chance to shine .
I hope she does shine ... good luck lady !! how ever it turns out , your parents must be proud ...
Congratulations To This Black Woman. She Apparently Is Worthy Of The Position. I Am Of The Black Race.
I Can Only Imagine Her Diligence, Her Hard Work, & Brilliance. Go Girl, You Must Realize The Judiciary Members Are NOT Elated About Your Accomplishments, Your Capacities Are What They Will Seek To Break Down. First & NOT Second, I Would Let Them Know, If I Am Vunderable Or NOT. I WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN NOR ENTERTAIN DIVERSITY, OR WRONGFUL ACTIONS WITH THEM, FOR THEM, NOR HOLD MY PEACE ABOUT INJUSTICE.
"GOD" Bless You. YOU'RE GOING TO NEED HIM.
FINALLY, "WATCH THEM DOGS".
Now
Someone who doesn't answer a simple question like.. what is a woman should not be a supreme court judge... her answer was ,, i don't know im not a biologist.. i mean really???
Do you honestly not get the larger concept that her personal definitions do not and CAN not matter in her interpretation and application of the law ? Do you honestly not get that it’s a moot point … did you complain when Barret refused to acknowledge her opinions or views ?
@@AmbieUnscripted woow you are as dumb as her .. man is a man , woman is a woman .. nature facts and I dont care about your feelings snow flake ... facts are facts and that's it .. do not mix personality with gender , that is just as stupid as your answer
She’s not qualified
Just an endless bizzare fishing expedition for the looney right wing of America...she did wonderfully.
Another historic win for identity politics and not this woman actually having any major accomplishments or comparable record to most judges well below this woman.
All of me doesn't care
But it isn't just you.
And u think people care if u care or not? The most relevancy you’ll ever have in ur life is ppl replying to this comment
You care a lot actually. You just told us.

Liberals messed up big time. They shot themselves in the foot here. We Conservatives thank you for such a proud God fearing American Patriot. When a justice is this brilliant, God fearing and patriotic I know she will be siding with Conservatives more often than not. So far this is the only thing I have agreed with Biden on. Lets go Judge Jackson reaffirm America's freedoms for the rest of your lifetime.
why are conservative pushing against her then ?
when you fall for your own lies, time for therapy.
The try to destroy the black woman
Sickening
This woman needs to be nowhere near the Supreme Court he's nothing but a social justice Warrior activist. I don't doubt they're the qualified black woman out there it's just not this one
What qualifies you to judge ?

She is no good, move on.
Why are they wasting all this time and money on this circus? she met both qualification, black/female, she was selected, she will be confirmed and republicans can do nothing to stop it so it's just a waste as usual
Here we go again "Brandon", another BROWN 'Jackson'!!! Good grief, "Come on man"!!!
When it's a Republican nomination they have to fight for their life but when it's a democrat they roll out the Red carpet and to make things worse she is probably very qualified but we'll never know if she was the most qualified because she was a diversity hire it's a slap in the face for us and her.
Ouch lol, don't hold back tell us how you really feel lololol
Does she have a rape allegation against her ?? Please answer me kindly
Doesn't hurt that Biden didn't nominate a raging drunk.
Trump placed any Barrett In the supreme
Court, she did not catch none of the hell that this very qualified lady is catching so stop
She's more qualified than every person sitting on the bench RIGHT NOW!!!
Doesn't she support less crime on CP criminals
Please don’t base decisions on Josh Hawley an insurrectionist
KBJ repulsive
I have a feeling that she would not be in this position had her husband been black
Dumb comment.
It's okay that you haven't accomplished much in your life. It's okay.
Ok there are to many wemon ! On there opp . Only on there wisdom . That’s the only way there on . ???
My guess is she will be an activist judge who will circumvent constitutional law at every chance. We will see soon enough.
That hasn't been her history. Black ppl were actually mad about her nomination due to the Lockheed Martin case.

So scripted. I would prefer a glimpse into her heart. After Chauvin publicly executed George Floyd our nation has been spiraling into the abyss. Perhaps Judge Jackson's confirmation can begin to heal our wounds . Perhaps we can help and take care of each other as our Heavenly Father meant it. Deliver us from evil Lord and help our land to heal through the power of your perfect love On Earth as it is in Heaven.
You are scripted. You have nothing on Ms. Jackson. You are jealous. She is a Judge now what are you?
Blacks comprise approximately 12% to 13% of the US population. This ratio has remained fairly constant for decades. In judicial circles, Blacks comprise less than 5% of the population of all of the racial demographics in the arena that is the legal profession. Amongst qualified judges who are black, the number is in the single digits, to include both men and women. By his blatantly and overt racist and sexist selection criteria, Biden has excluded over 97% of the qualified candidate pool, thus essentially guaranteeing that we are not getting the absolutely best judge that can be chosen for the supreme court. His selection criteria automatically excludes all Whites, Hispanics, Native Americans, Koreans, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Hawaiians, Alaskan Natives, Puerto Ricans, Filipinos, Indians, Chinese, Taiwanese, Laotians, Samoans, etc, etc, not to mention Black Men. This is how a sexist and racist choice, which runs counter to American values and current federal laws, diminishes our supreme court and/or any other institution for which it is the basis of selection. Case in point: see current VP. If this nominee had honor and integrity, she would decline for being chosen based on her sex (sexism) and skin color (racism).
Do you realize the long standing, impactful history black people have had in this country? Do you realize how many white males were chosen over the years? No complain then huh? That’s why a qualified black woman was chosen…. Key word qualified because that she is
Agreed 👍
You don’t represent the majority
