Joe Biden picked her because he promised a black woman, and then she was unable to define the word ‘woman’. Our expectations were never very high. But dang… really?
Aside from the reversal of Roe, how the court rules on this case could turn out to be one of the biggest decisions of Biden’s entire administration. It’s the case that began with the state of Missouri suing the Biden administration for directing third-party entities (in this case social media) to monitor, suppress, and silence speech about topics the administration deemed dangerous.
As always, the hearings at the Supreme Court level have a different tone than court cases as we normally think of them. Each side gives a short description of the general point they are trying to make and then they get peppered with questions by the 9 justices in no particular order… sometimes jumping to an entirely new question on the fly. Hypothetical situations are to be expected as the Justices try to tease out the case and any unintended outcomes of potential rulings.
Social media picked up responses by some of the justices. But the one offered by Biden’s newest addition to the court was jaw-dropping for all the wrong reasons.

Ketanji Brown Jackson worried that if the court were to rule that the government cannot limit the speech it considers bad even when it’s considered some kind of a threat, that it might somehow hamstring the government.
Uh, lady, I don’t want to tell you how to do your job, but… isn’t hamstringing the government so that its power has to yield to the rights of the citizen kinda the point of the First Amendment?
People in power have often find certain speech to be particularly annoying. Unless they have strong incentive to let them say it anyway, they will find ways to threaten, harass or otherwise silence the sources of that speech.
The Framers themselves had to write under pseudonyms for fear of retribution. They understood that concept well.
Let’s review.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Is there anything about those first five words that is unclear?
No? Good.
For the love of all that is Holy, can someone please explain it to Biden’s appointee?
John The Baptist: A Rude Awakening Precedes A Great Awakening.
This timely little tome chronicles the politically incorrect ministry of one of God’s most effective wildmen, John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Christ’s ministry.
The abrasive message of repentance John preached 2000 years ago is still confrontational and offensive today — but it is also life-changing.
In our putrid, worldly culture that has turned away from God, this book is a must-read for every Christian.
Available in paperback for those of you who like the feel of the pages in your hot, little hands, on Kindle to keep it right at your fingertips, and as an epic Audiobook.
