PRESIDENTIAL MALPRACTICE.

How big an asterisk do you append to the title "Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson?"

A big f***in asterisk, according to Lawrence J. McQuillan.

President Joe Biden’s promise to select a Black woman for the U.S. Supreme Court committed the country to a social experiment involving only 70 people for one of the most critical positions in the federal government. Perhaps Ketanji Brown Jackson would have emerged as the best nominee among all qualified candidates. We’ll never know because of Biden’s self-imposed political-pandering stunt, which equates to presidential malpractice.

That could be a Friday short Take, but for Jeff Kouba, a new contributor at Shot in the Dark, chiming in.

Our current vice president is a dopey gigglebox whose morning calisthenics consist of struggling to find a coherent thought. Feel the burn! She was picked solely on the basis of her skin color and gender.

Now, our current president, whose Biden Doctrine “I can’t have oatmeal before 8 am because I get gassy” will soon be of interest only to the nurses who wheel him down to the solarium, has nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, the Left’s favorite unaccountable super-legislature. What’s more, she was picked for the exact same reasons as Harris. Given that first steaming example of affirmative action, as fresh as objets d’art on a San Francisco sidewalk, and how that is working out, might Jackson be worth a few pointed questions from a co-equal branch of government before she takes her lifetime appointment, Mr. Waldman?

Today, the nominee had to take a pass on attempting a legal definition of "woman."

Our governing class is pathetic.
