The Texas junior senator is right to pose every possible question to Judge Jackson, but a...
,” : In the summer of 1967, I was an 18-year-old in Beaumont, getting ready for my first year of college. That summer, President Lyndon Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall as a justice to the U. S. Supreme Court. Overjoyed, I discussed this with attorney Elmo Willard. Willard had served as a student aid for Marshall's team as they prepared their presentation for the Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education. He told me stories about their trials and tribulations in preparing the case.
Each evening during Justice Marshall's confirmation hearing, I would consume all the reports from the three national news networks and read all the articles from the Houston Post and Chronicle and the Beaumont Enterprise and Journal. For the last two days, I have watched the confirmation hearing of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. It made me recall the confirmation hearings of Justice Marshall.
As Black Americans, we must continue to believe in the letter and spirit of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and not let pessimism win. We must not let these new Dixiecrats steal our joy, as the nation moves forward.Having been alive long enough to experience 10 presidents, I’ve certainly seen changes in our country. The influence on the evolution of our government that each of these presidents and their political parties has had has been extensive.
Before we talk about Ketanji Brown Jackson, we must hold a mirror up and view the quality of the questions asked. Few questions haven’t been completely self-serving. I’m shocked at what comes out of the mouths of some of our elected politicians. Instead of complaining about computerized sentencing for crimes, a better suggestion might be a computerized report card for politicians. What, if anything, have they achieved during their tenure? I’d like to see that each year.
