Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson: “What Good is the Constitution?"

www.frontpagemag.com

Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson is laughably unqualified for the position she was appointed on based on only three things: none of which had anything to do with her ability to understand the law, its history and the relevant precedents. Let alone the Constitution.

But she is a radical leftist and what she lacks in reasoning ability, she more than makes up for in her dislike of America.

Here’s where the two come together in her dissent.

A Martian arriving here from another planet would see these circumstances and surely wonder: “what good is the Constitution, then?” What, really, is this system for protecting people’s rights if it amounts to this—placing the onus on the victims to invoke the law’s protection, and rendering the very institution that has the singular function of ensuring compliance with the Constitution powerless to prevent the Government from violating it? “Those things Americans call constitutional rights seem hardly worth the paper they are written on!”

This is the literary technique known as ‘putting your own words in someone else’s mouth’. It’s generally supposed to be a bit more sophisticated than a Martian.

Supposed to be.

But whose words are they really? Ketanji’s.

Who really thinks “what good is the Constitution” and that “those things Americans call constitutional rights seem hardly worth the paper they are written on”?
