Listening to the Supremes this morning, it occurs to me that Justice Jackson is the smartest of the three smartest on...

[Stinky The Clown]

...the court.

[irisblue]

1. No lie

[Emile]

2. Yep, she is sharp!

[mobeau69]

3. Without question.

[Jerry2144]

4. And she's the brightest of the 9

As for the six corrupt ones…

On my right, I have six boxes of rocks. Each is smarter than those 6. More honest and less dirty, too

[msfiddlestix]

5. absolutely, I fully agree

[DET]

6. That's True

And she doesn’t take any crap. The woman has spunk.

[BonnieJW]

14. But

in a quiet, firm way. Her questions are concise and on point. She doesn't engage in verbosity to illustrate that she's smarter than you. She just is.

[ashredux]

7. She is very good. Very concise and easy to understand what she saying. She thinks through her argument.

[Comfortably_Numb]

8. I tuned in late. Has Uncle Slappy spoken at all?

[PatSeg]

9. Yes, she certainly is exceptional in every way

[Trueblue Texan]

10. I agree, but I'm shocked to be impressed with Barrett this morning. nt

[BlueMTexpat]

15. Me too!

I must be hallucinating!

[Texin]

20. I was also shocked and surprised at her insightful questioning of Sauer and her skepticism of his arguments was marked.

[MontanaMama]

11. Indeed. n/t

[lark]

19. ACB is definitely the best of the repug SCOTUS.

How will she vote, though? How can one trust an actual Handmaiden?

[MontanaMama]

23. I don't think we can trust her.

I guess we're about to find out...on this case anyway.

[lark]

35. Of course we can't trust her.

She is the Handmaiden, after all. I'm just surprised she's not as full on fascist as the rest of the R's.

[ecstatic]

28. nope. She's trash like the rest

She helped overturn Roe v Wade. I guess she got her tubes tied? Because if not, her head is on the chopping block too. A baby making machine who can still find herself pregnant at the tender age of 52 if she has not completed menopause yet.

[yorkster]

12. She is superb - listening now and hoping she's the closer,

as she was this am with Sauer.

[Raven123]

13. Certainly the most coherent questions

Others seemed a little fragmented, but that’s often the case. Like listening to these arguments even when I have trouble following the thought lines

[crud]

16. Her last statements/question was a huge point

When she said that the criminal acts of a president should have (at the least) equal weight with the concept that a president might be constrained in his official duties. She gets to the heart of the matter, by looking at the broad implications, that it is better to prevent lawlessness than it is to allow it. Seems to me that when you look at the immunity argument that way, it turns it on its head. What will do more harm? Allowing an all powerful president to act unlawful would be much more harmful to the country than an ex-president facing charges.

[gab13by13]

17. The CEO of my daughter's new company

is very good friends with Jackson, their kids go to the same school.

Daughter may get a chance to meet her.

[Trueblue Texan]

22. Soooooo COOOOL!!! nt

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

18. Historically...

she would have to be.

[LeftInTX]

21. She made the best comments regarding the homeless case last week.

I did a deep dive on it a few weeks ago, because it sparked my attention for some reason.
The State of Oregon has already made the anti-homeless law null and void...So why is it before the Supreme Court?
She was the one who noticed this.

[BWdem4life]

24. She would have to be.

A Black female has to be better than any of her counterparts to reach the same position, in this country at this time. Wonder if that will ever change.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. All three are very smart

[Glamrock]

26. I wasn't very impressed by her questions in the Colorado disqualification case.

Haven’t heard this case yet. Hopefully she changes my mind.

[elleng]

27. Yes, she is.

Was not home earlier (in Bawlmer!) so just watching now.

Here's one, plze don't hold it against me, but what if Amy C-B proves to be the true conservative? May have seen hints, here and elsewhere.

[Stinky The Clown]

29. Funny you mention Amy C-B. One of the voices in my head has been suggesting she and Roberts . . . .

. . . . would side with The three liberals.

[elleng]

30. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

[yorkster]

32. Had the same thought/hope. n/t

[elleng]

33. KATYAL agrees! On Lawrence show.

[spooky3]

31. Look at how differently the female justices view reality vs

The male justices. If that’s not a good argument for diversity, I don’t know what is.

[moondust]

34. Rock solid.
