Adding appropriate graphic to New York Times headline about Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation hearings

 

New York Times, 3/22/2022

DANGER:  Racists at work.

The attack, the most dramatic of several launched from inside and outside the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing room, contained barely coded appeals to racism and clear nods to the fringes of the conservative world. Two other Republican senators, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, had already signaled they would go after Judge Jackson by accusing her of having a soft spot for criminals, especially pedophiles, and an allegiance to “woke” racialized education. Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas, also pressed the issue on Tuesday night. 

None of those issues were connected to cases coming before the Supreme Court — or to cases ever decided by the court.
