Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson let her racism show again during arguments about Louisiana redistricting.
As a note:
A district court order mandated the creation of an additional majority-black district in Louisiana to avoid “vote dilution,” Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas notes. Plaintiffs challenging Louisiana allege “that the congressional map’s second majority-black district amounted to an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.”
Her comments basically amounted to a comparison of black folks with those with disabilities by comparing the creation of a special black-only voting district with the ADA.
“Congress passed the [ADA] against the backdrop of a world that was generally not accessible to people with disabilities. And so it was discriminatory in effect, because these folks were not able to access these buildings. And it didn’t matter whether the person who built the building or owned the building intended for them to be exclusionary, that’s irrelevant. Congress said the facilities have to be made equally open to people with disabilities, if readily possible. I guess, I don’t understand why that’s not what’s happening here.”
But wait, there’s more:
“The idea in Section 2 is that we are responding to current day manifestations of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they do not have equal access to the voting system. Right, they’re disabled,” Jackson argued.
And then she pulled a hissy fit, which is the last refuge of the intellectually outclassed.
And she will never resign so we’ve got another few decades of this.
