Is CRT Headed To The Supreme Court?

New Reporting Reveals Biden’s Supreme Court Nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson Has A History Of Embracing Critical Race Theory In Her Lectures And Speeches

BIDEN’S SUPREME COURT NOMINEE REVEALED TO BE EVEN MORE EXTREME THAN ORIGINALLY BELIEVED

·         With a seat opening on the Supreme Court, Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Democrat partisan who will put far-left special interests ahead of defending the liberties of Americans.

·         Now, new reporting has revealed that Jackson has a history of promoting and defending critical race theory (CRT) “principles” and authors.

·         The Biden administration has a record of embracing and infusing critical race theory throughout its agenda, and the nomination of Jackson continues this trend.

o   Biden rescinded President Trump’s executive order banning critical race theory training in the federal government on his first day in office.

o   Jill Biden invited a noted CRT supporter to be her guest at this year’s State of the Union Address.

o   Biden selected Minyon Moore, a critical race theory promoter, to help guide his Supreme Court nominee through the Senate confirmation process.

·         On top of embracing CRT, Jackson’s record of “letting child porn offenders off the hook” has raised concerns in the Senate.

·         Jackson must be asked if she will draw on CRT and her other radical beliefs if confirmed to the Supreme Court.

JACKSON TOOK INSPIRATION FROM THE “GODFATHER OF CRT” AND THE 1619 PROJECT

·         In a 2020 lecture, Jackson highlighted Derrick Bell, “the godfather of critical race theory,” saying that her family had Bell’s book “on their coffee table for many years.”

o   Bell’s 1993 book “Faces At The Bottom Of The Well: The Permanence Of Racism” has been lauded as “a pioneering contribution to critical race theory scholarship.”

o   Bell believed that “the Constitution was like ‘roach powder,’ that whites might commit ‘racial genocide,’ and that his motto was ‘I live to harass white folks.’”

·         In this same lecture, Jackson also credits Bell’s widow Dr. Janet Dewart Bell’s “excellent insights” as inspiring the “observations that I am presenting.”

o   In 2021, Dr. Janet Dewart Bell presented a slide show where she vigorously defended critical race theory, evoked the concept of “the property right in whiteness,” and compared the United States to the Holocaust and Nazi Germany.

·         Jackson also highlighted the “1619 Project” and called Nikole Hannah-Jones an “acclaimed investigative journalist” in this same University of Michigan lecture.

o   The 1619 Project argues that the U.S. is a fundamentally racist country and that “Anti-black racism runs in the very DNA of this country.”

o   Jackson echoed the 1619 Project’s belief that the “true founding” of the United States occurred in 1619 when the first slave ship arrived  by saying that “Jones’s provocative thesis that the America that was born in 1776 was not the perfect union that it purported to be.”

o   In December 2019, five distinguished historians wrote a letter to The New York Times saying that they were “dismayed at some of the factual errors in the project and the closed process behind it.”

o   In the time since the 1619 Project’s publication, Hannah-Jones has said that the project was “not a history” and was instead “a work of journalism,” has praised the communist dictatorship of Cuba for leading the “most equal” country in the Western Hemisphere, and has said that Europe is “not a continent.”

JACKSON HAS A HISTORY OF CHAMPIONING CRITICAL RACE THEORY TENETS

·         In 2015, Jackson lectured students about how federal prison sentencing guidelines are “interesting on an intellectual level” because it “melds together myriad types of law” including “administrative law, constitutional law, critical race theory, negotiations, and to some extent, even contracts.”

·         In October 2019, Jackson gave a keynote address at the Husch Blackwell Retreat where she told students “Life is not fair, and I totally get that the microaggressions that you are observing are real.”

·         In February 2020, Jackson used the term “microaggression” during a speech at the University of Chicago Black Law Student’s Association.

·         In October 2021, Jackson moderated a Harvard Alumni Association webinar, focusing a section of the event on “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging” which stems out of critical race theory.

o   During this webinar, Jackson asked about a decision to stop teaching a “Latinx Studies” graduate level course.

o   Jackson also claimed that “the growing inequality in wealth and access to education in the United States, and various systemic obstacles to social advancement and democratic ideals” was “of particular interest” to the audience.

JACKSON IS A FAR-LEFT ACTIVIST JUDGE

• Along with a history of embracing CRT and “an alarming pattern when it comes to Judge Jackson’s treatment of sex offenders,” Jackson has a record of far-left activism as a judge.
• In just a few short years on the bench, Jackson repeatedly has ruled against conservative policies.
  • Jackson blocked President Trump’s executive orders to hold failing federal employees accountable – a decision that the D.C. Circuit unanimously reversed.
  • Jackson blocked the Trump administration from expanding its “Expedited Removal” program to deport illegal immigrants faster, absurdly saying that DHS did not consider the impact on illegal immigrants.
• Jackson was a “zealous” advocate for several terrorists detained at Guantánamo Bay, including a Taliban intelligence officer who was likely a leader of a terrorist cell.

o   Despite Jackson’s claim that she did not get to choose her clients as a public defender, she continued to advocate for Guantanamo terrorists when she went into private practice.

• Jackson has called for removing mandatory minimum sentences for child porn, questioned making convicted child predators register as sex offenders, and said some who collect child porn are not actually pedophiles.
  • Jackson’s sympathy for pedophiles has resulted in lenient sentences for multiple child predators, including a perpetrator who received only a three month prison sentence when the Sentencing Guideline called for up to ten years in prison.
• In 2001, Jackson was part of an amicus brief filed by several pro-abortion groups, including NARAL, in support of a “buffer zone” around abortion clinics that targeted the free speech rights of pro-life Americans.
• Jackson is a member of Harvard University’s Board of Overseers, which, if she were confirmed, would pose a conflict of interest in the highly contentious Harvard race-based admissions case.
