Tom Cotton on Judge Jackson. what a prick

[IcyPeas]

Comparing former Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson to Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) says: "The last Judge Jackson left the Supreme Court to go to Nuremberg and prosecute the case against the Nazis. This Judge Jackson might have gone there to defend them."

1. Well, he's staying true to form

no one ever claimed he was anything but a giant asshole.

2. While I'm not saying it's right,

however if Will Smith slapped this dude.

I would be ok with it.

3. What the fuck.

4. Several Ivy League universities desperately need to change admissions policies. Nt

5. He's such a sanctimonious little prick

How these people can spew such libelous crap without any blowback is appalling to me. There is no both sides to this behavior. It's disgusting and it should have no place in civil society much less in the Senate chambers.

6. The Nazis hated blacks

The Nazis would never have hired her. They hated black people.
Democrats are going to have to go on the offensive
Can any of you come up with suggestions for ads?
The ads must be short and sweet, interesting and humorous if possible
They should be aired on Fox because those viewers only get their info from sources that convey misinformation

7. This is classic projection.

Tom Cotton is a Nazi and if he had a time machine would choose to go back to 1939 so he could join the SS. Fuck him.

8. I wonder what he would say if it was pointed out to him...

That under our system, those Nazi’s would be entitled to a vigorous defense!

Yeah, Judge Jackson is just a little too much of a woman and a little too dark for these assholes to support her.

9. Fuck the piece of shit.

10. Civilized people believe that persons accused of even the most heinous crimes should have legal

representation.

Authoritarians don't believe in the concept of due process and prefer to act as judge jury and executioner themselves or through their proxies.

I guess we know which way Cotton leans.

11. I will never forgive David Axlerod for giving this creep air on his interview show The Axe Files.

12. The same Tom Cotton who claimed that he served as a Ranger.

13. The same Tom Cotton who ridiculed our troops with TBI as mere headaches.

14. What do you know, a piece of shit that can talk

quite a parlor trick

[gratuitous]

15. Show us on the doll, you bobble-throated slapdick

Where did the mean Black lady hurt you?

[NCjack]

17. If Judge K. Jackson could travel back in time, Justice R. Jackson may have

very well asked her to be a defense attorney. And, she probably would have agreed to do it.

Because the trials could not begin until adequate defense attorneys for the accused had been provided.

But, Sen. Cotton would have no problem with giving those Naziis a kangaroo court. Amazing that he has a law degree from Harvard -- which should be immediately cancelled because of his stupidity.

19. Our boy Tom continues to make Arkansas so proud.

Tom knows better but the folks back home will eat it up.

20. We already know cotton and his traitor party don't abide by the law. More projection.

[GoCubsGo]

21. A hilarious complaint coming from a fucking Nazi.

Shitbag's got to be a shitbag.

23. New low, even for him.

A walking, talking turd!

... You know what? If she had done that, it would have been fine. In explaining why he participated in the Nuremberg Trials — a decision that prompted private criticism from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Harlan Fiske Stone, who considered the ex post facto exercise a “high-grade lynching party” — Judge Robert H. Jackson made it clear that if the Americans “want to shoot Germans as a matter of policy, let it be done as such, but don’t hide the deed behind a court.”

What did that mean in practice? It meant that if the United States was to host a trial, instead of a firing squad, those who were put in the dock would receive a solid defense. It meant that Judge Robert Jackson was confident enough that the evidence would be allowed to prevail that he opposed stacking the deck. It meant that the court was not supposed to say, “they’re Nazis, who cares?” ...
