Marsha Blackburn Demands Probe Of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson For Crime Of 'Attended Grammys'

[CatWoman]

In keeping with the modern Republican Party’s devotion to the principle that everything is an outrage and a threat to the Republic, especially if it gets Republicans on cable TV, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) is demanding that Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson be investigated for the incredibly outrageous and biased act of attending the Grammy Awards last Sunday.

By complete coincidence, Blackburn launched her attack on Jackson right after a fellow Republican filed a formal campaign finance complaint against Blackburn, who’s leaving the US Senate to run for governor of Tennessee. According to the complaint, Blackburn allegedly transferred money from her federal Senate campaign organization to her state campaign for governor, which is illegal in Tennessee.

Jackson had a perfectly cromulent reason for attending the recording industry awards, since she was a nominee for Best Audiobook for her memoir Lovely One. But according to Blackburn’s overwrought letter to Chief Justice John Roberts, Jackson’s presence just might have rendered her too biased to sit on any cases involving immigration or the actions of federal agents in Donald Trump’s Holy Ethnic Cleansing campaign, because several of the celebrities who presented or received awards wore lapel pins saying “ICE OUT,” and even worse, said very mean things about ICE and mass deportations.

No, Justice Jackson didn’t say anything at the awards show, and she also didn’t choose the presenter line-up. But as Blackburn pointed out with keen prosecutorial acumen, “It is important to note that Justice Jackson was present in the audience throughout the event.” Why, she was even there to hear Billie Eilish say the treason words “No one is illegal on stolen land” and “Fuck ICE,” so there’s no way Jackson can possibly rule impartially — not that she ever could, having been nominated by literal demon Joe Biden.

1. How horrible. Tsk tsk. She should have taken a million dollars bribe. As we all know that is acceptable

[appmanga]

2. There can only be one "Dumbest Fucking Person in the Senate"...

...and she makes past champions Sam Brownback and Jim Inhofe look like Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

[11 Bravo]

5. I don't know ... did Ron Johnson croak?

[ananda]

9. Let's just say the intelligence barrel has more than one...

senate Republican at the bottom, or lower.

[Trueblue1968]

15. Blackburn is a stupid EVIL A-hole. Lock her up. That is my opinion.

Says true blue, the hanging DUer. I know I am horrible but I am in a really bad mood today. My stomach hurts.

[slightlv]

17. I've been in a bad mood all day today...

hubby woke me up way too early to try to convince me to let him drive to the store for cereal. (I can't trust he'll find his way home at this point).

My fibromyalgia let me know what kind of day it would be when my smallest kit, Gabby (4 months old) stepped on one of the pressure points on my upper arm.

And then I had to get out of bed, get dressed, and drive hubby to the store. By that time my back was in full and complete agreement with the pains throughout the rest of my body and decided to pile on as hard as it could.

I managed to keep from swallowing the last 3 pain pills I had... I don't get a refill until the the 13th... but it took every act of will I had in my body to pick one of those pills, knowing that the pain relief from it wouldn't be anywhere near what was needed.

I'm hoping to shut my bedroom door and crawl into bed early tonight. I think I've had enough of today.... and this weather front moving through!

3. Ridiculous and stupid

If Bozo McHairdoohead was any dumber, she'd discombobulate in a cloud of stinky green gas (reminiscent of the stench of an overstuffed Trump diaper)

[CatWoman]

23. I call her Drunk Barbie

actually, i got kicked off Twitter for calling her that

[walkingman]

4. Racism is alive and well in America - to deny it is to deny reality.

It is in our DNA Constitution.

[hlthe2b]

6. Justice Jackson had a perfectly "cromulent" reason for being there--LOL

That's a word I think only sprang to "life" with a 1996 Simpsons episode. (Or for those of us who did or still do read, it appears in a lot of 19th century writings). I just got a smile... I guess wonkette must be at least a millennial?

[Zorro]

7. The Home Ec major dazzles us with her brilliance once again

[muriel_volestrangler]

8. Well, obviously, all Supreme Court justices have been locked in windowless rooms, with no newspapers,

radio or TV when they were invented, or this newfangled "internet", so that they were unaware of any public opinion on the subjects on which they rule. But somehow Jackson got past the tight security and discovered this whole world out there, by attending the Grammys, and ruined the 200+ years of the Supreme Court having no idea what the American people thought.

10. Isn't that stretching things a bit??? Is this sour grapes because the king wasn't given an award just because?

[Sneederbunk]

11. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. Not getting enough attention lately?

[onenote]

12. Does Marsha know how many repub members of congress attended the grammies?

For the second year in a row, members of congress decided to hold a "roundtable" to discuss internet piracy in LA coinciding with the grammies, which I imagine many attended, probably at the expense of the grammy organization.

[spanone]

13. Marsha is 'my' senator only because I live in Tennessee..

She is as despicable as anyone who's been in congress.

Her head is waaaaay up trmp's ass. A true maga.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. What?!!

[LittleGirl]

16. Marsha is jealous

That she has never done anything but to be offered the award of worst person in the world..

[BidenRocks]

18. What a bunch of thin skinned snowflakes.

So damn fragile until decked out like ICE.

[eppur_se_muova]

19. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha ... still playing the Senator from Cocoa Puffs ...

[iemanja]

20. Blackburn is certifiable.

This is just nuts.

[oasis]

22. Marsha's high degree of pettiness will never exceed

that of her stratospheric degree of dizziness.
