Who else is livid over the disrespect shown to Ketanji Brown Jackson during these hearings?

"Because she was a public defender who represented Guantanamo Bay detainees, she must love and cherish terrorists. Yup, that tracks. I mean, just look at her. And because she weighed complex issues and mitigating circumstances in deciding child pornography cases—instead of automatically throwing the book at defendants—she must be a soft-on-crime child pornography superfan. It all makes sense now! After all, young men who commit sex crimes shouldn’t be handed truncated sentences. They should get lifetime appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court! Everyone knows that. Sheesh."

"Of course, it’s easy for the fatuous fucknuts on the right to evoke any kind of image they want. “The Black lady wants to release all the perverts and terrorists” is an easy narrative to sell in places like Manitowoc, Wisconsin, the lily white Midwest backwater that disgorged me into the wider world some years back. I can almost hear them clucking away in their boozy redoubts, confident that no one would ever dare gainsay them in their own holy temples (e.g., Chili’s, Applebee’s, the buffet restaurant that used to be a Hardee’s before the Shopko closed down, etc.)."
