Biden’s SCOTUS pick sides with Dems, says she’s open to ‘enforceable’ code of ethics

September 2, 2024 | | Print Article

Democrats’ biggest allies in radically overhauling the Supreme Court by targeting conservative justices could be inside the building with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson onboard with one proposed change.

The DEI justice told CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell that she’s down with an “enforceable” code of ethics that Democrats including lame-duck President Joe Biden have been demanding in their ongoing temper tantrum over a series of damaging setbacks to the left’s social agenda and rulings favorable to former President Donald J. Trump.

Brown Jackson threw in with the Democrats during an interview that aired on this week’s edition of “CBS News Sunday Morning” as she hits the media circuit to promote her new book.

Asked by O’Donnell whether she would support the ethics code imposed by a co-equal branch of government determined to bring the SCOTUS under their control, Brown Jackson sided with the likes of Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex (D-NY), a former bartender who serves as the ideological thought leader of the modern Democratic Party.

“So, you know, a binding code of ethics is pretty standard for judges. And so I guess the question is, ‘Is the Supreme Court any different?’ And I guess I have not seen a persuasive reason as to why the court is different than the other courts,” she replied.

When pressed by O’Donnell over whether she would support the “enforceable” mechanism that Democrats are salivating over to give them a way to impeach conservative justices, Brown Jackson said she would be okay with it because of course she would with only Republican appointees being subject to the punitive actions.

“I am considering supporting it as a general matter. I’m not gonna get into commenting on particular policy proposals. But from my perspective, I don’t have any problem with an enforceable code,” she told O’Donnell.

Another left-wing justice, Obama-appointee Elena Kagan has also expressed support for the code that would be weaponized against her conservative colleagues.

“Both in terms of enforcing the rules against people who have violated them but also in protecting people who haven’t violated them — I think a system like that would make sense,” she said at a July 9th Circuit judicial conference,” according to the Associated Press.

In a July address from the Oval Office, days after he was overthrown as his party’s nominee, Biden demanded “reforms” for the Supreme Court which dealt a nearly fatal blow to his regime’s lawfare against Trump earlier in the month.

Chosen by President Joe Biden solely because she’s a black woman to return a favor to kingmaker Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) who engineered his 2020 primary victory, Brown Jackson may have struggled with the difference between a man and a woman, but she’s a Democrat to the core.

“Named ‘Ketanji Onyika,’ meaning ‘Lovely One,’ based on a suggestion from her aunt, a Peace Corps worker stationed in West Africa, Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations,” reads the Amazon description of KBJ’s memoir narcissistically titled “Lovely One” that hits bookshelves on Tuesday.
