And I provided a link in the OP just for you. If you read the link down a bit there's a whooooooole section headlined with "Coming from 'a background of public service'".

I mean the link describes a good bit of her background.

Because he's so curious, I'm sure he read it before asking. /s

I agree. Biden’s pick is only valid if he has personally gone over the resumes of all 328,000,000 Americans.

far less than that. There might be 25 people who have the intellectual, academic and professional qualifications at a given time to be a top SC justice pick. Limiting it to a group that has so few of those is just stupid

BA from Harvard - magna - and supervising editor of the Harvard Law Review. I'm surprised you're not celebrating this pick.

This was expected.

1. She was moved into Garland's position when he became DOJ AG. This put her in line for SC consideration. Especially since the usual RINO's confirmed her to that position...Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.

2. She's a judicial activist and she has had a BUNCH of decisions overturned...even by Dem-controlled courts.

"Judge Jackson's record of reversals by the left-leaning D.C. Circuit is troubling for anyone concerned about the rule of law," Judicial Crisis Network president Carrie Severino told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. "For example, in Make the Road New York v. Wolf, a D.C. Circuit panel composed of a majority of Democratic nominees concluded that Jackson had set aside a Trump administration rule where there was no legal basis to do so."​

​

"Cases like these suggest that Jackson might be willing in politically charged cases to ignore the law to deliver a particular policy outcome, and that's not what we want to see from a Supreme Court justice," she continued.​

​

During Jackson's 2021 confirmation for her current position, conservatives pointed to her track record of overturned rulings.​

​

One 2019 case involved an order that expanded the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) definition on which noncitizens could be deported. Another overturning involved a trio of orders on federal employees’ collective bargaining power.​

​

Jackson's DHS ruling was overturned in a 2-1 decision by the D.C. Circuit Court, which said reviewing the DHS policy did not fall under the Administrative Procedure Act.​

​

The judge's ruling on the three collective bargaining orders was overturned unanimously b;y the D.C. Circuit Court, which ruled that Jackson did not have jurisdiction to adjudicate the case.​

Biden Supreme Court front-runner Ketanji Brown Jackson faces scrutiny for overturned decisions

Jackson, a D.C. Circuit Court judge, faced tough questions from Republicans over a string of her decisions being overturned during her Senate confirmation process to her seat.

So yeah...her nomination was planned since last year. Of course, the Biden puppet masters had to put on a show by supposedly "looking" at others for the nomination.

And now...the Senate will put on a show for the sheeple before they confirm her.

So it goes...

Cool. You still have your race card.

You are dismissed.

Seems to be pretty reasonable from her history of rulings. Here's a few links for you to get started.

• Jackson was introduced at her December 2011 confirmation hearing by Republican Paul Ryan, a relative through marriage, who said "Our politics may differ, but my praise for Ketanji's intellect, for her character, for her integrity, it is unequivocal."[9]
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketanji_Brown_Jackson
• In 2019, Jackson ruled that provisions in three Trump executive orders conflicted with federal employee rights to collective bargaining. Her decision was reversed unanimously by the D.C. Circuit. Another 2019 decision, involving a challenge to a Department of Homeland Security decision to expand the agency's definition of which noncitizens could be deported, was also reversed by the D.C. Circuit. Nan Aron, president of the liberal Alliance for Justice, defended Jackson's record, saying Jackson "has written nearly 600 opinions and been reversed less than twelve times."[26
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketanji_Brown_Jackson
• she signed the opinion on behalf of a three-judge panel striking an attempt by the Federal Labor Relations Authority to allow government agencies to make workplace changes without negotiating them with the respective public-sector unions.
  https://www.politico.com/news/2022/...bio-facts-background-political-views-00010970
• She also ruled against Trump in his attempt to block the release of records from his White House related to Jan. 6, 2021.
  https://www.politico.com/news/2022/...bio-facts-background-political-views-00010970
• In 2019 she ruled against the Trump administration’s attempt to shield former White House counsel Don McGahn from testifying before Congress, writing that “presidents are not kings.”
  https://www.politico.com/news/2022/...bio-facts-background-political-views-00010970
• Several of Jackson’s rulings were overturned by a higher court, including those on Trump’s attempt to fast-track deportations and executive orders constraining government unions’ power.

(Continued)

• But the timing of the nomination presents a more serious and polarizing issue: Harvard University’s policy of race discrimination against Asian students, which is currently being challenged in a lawsuit pending before the Supreme Court, in tandem with a parallel case involving the University of North Carolina. The parties to the case have just submitted a briefing schedule that would put the case over onto the fall 2022 calendar — after Breyer has left the Court. If Jackson were nominated and confirmed by October, she could potentially be in a position to hear the case.
  That presents an immediate problem: Jackson, an alumna of both Harvard College and Harvard Law School, is a member of Harvard University’s Board of Overseers and is thus directly involved in overseeing the governance of one of the parties to the case. Unlike the various strained recusal arguments regularly pushed against the Court’s conservatives, this is a clear conflict of interest in the Harvard case.
  https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/02/ketanji-brown-jacksons-harvard-race-discrimination-problem/
• During her eight and a half years as a judge for the District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Jackson presided over nine jury trials and three bench trials, split evenly between civil and criminal matters. She wrote nearly 600 opinions and was reversed only twelve times.
  https://www.afj.org/document/judge-ketanji-brown-jackson-fact-sheet/
• In Make the Road New York v. McAleenan, Judge Jackson issued a nationwide preliminary injunction to prevent President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security from increasing “fast-track” deportations which do not require immigration court hearings. She found that the rule was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), but the D.C. Circuit later overturned her decision, halting the injunction. In Kiakombua v. Wolf, Judge Jackson also found that changes to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Credible Fear Lesson Plan used unlawful criteria not prescribed by Congress. After vacating the Lesson Plan, Judge Jackson ordered that previously-deported plaintiffs be given new credible fear interviews under lawful policies.
  https://www.afj.org/document/judge-ketanji-brown-jackson-fact-sheet/
• Over the past four years, Judge Jackson has received attention for her rulings against the Trump administration’s exercise of executive power. However, in Republican National Committee v. U.S. Agency for International Development, she also ruled for limitations on executive privilege under the Obama administration and required the agency to fulfill FOIA requests for emails related to Secretary of State Hilary Clinton. In Campaign for Accountability v. DOJ, Judge Jackson again enforced FOIA and denied the Trump Justice Department’s motion to dismiss Petitioner’s request for access to Office of Legal Counsel opinions that should have been publicly available.

And even less for Trumps pick, which was a list handed to him but conservative group of right wing hacks and nutjobs to pick from. You people just do nothing but make moronic comments that show you have no credibility and no clue what you are talking about. it's so sad and pathetic you people can't do anything but make moronic one liner partisan hack comments

far less than that. There might be 25 people who have the intellectual, academic and professional qualifications at a given time to be a top SC justice pick. Limiting it to a group that has so few of those is just stupid

that's exactly what trump did and every other president. Some conservatives group handed him a pick of the extremist candidates. Who did Trump pick? Christian taliban queen nutjobs and rapist kavanaugh. And he didn't even pick anything, he was told who to pick

There are two kinds of Supreme court picks: liberal or conservative. The ones you agree with politically are always qualified and the ones you disagree with seldom are. Its really just that simple.

 

[poweRob]

Republicans are relatively quiet as they are trying to synch up their unified manufactured opinion on why they don't like her.

 

[Lloyd Christmas]

Are you incapable of reading? Or just too lazy?

Jackson clerked for Breyer and served as a federal public defender in Washington -- an experience that her backers say is fitting, given Biden's commitment to putting more public defenders on the federal bench. She was also a commissioner on the US Sentencing Commission and served on the federal district court in DC, as an appointee of President Barack Obama, before Biden elevated her to the DC Circuit last year.
