Your writing/photo of KBJ, our new Supreme Ct. Justice brought me to tears, she is truly one of the best and the brightest! You also made me laugh a moment later when you wrote, "Sen. Brian Schatz took to the Senate floor and wiped it with Josh Hawley." Senator Schatz showed us how to clean up a mess, with a dirty rag. TY!
Please correct this: "She is among the most qualified of any justice even confirmed and she has more experience than four of her SCOTUS colleagues combined." I assume you meant "ever confirmed."
Regarding qualifications for the Supreme Court, there is one thing on that list that bothers me. What difference does it make if a person went to an Ivy League law school? There are plenty of extremely excellent law schools outside of the Ivy League. With all due respect, I don't see that as some super qualification.
I guess I did not read all the comments that came after I did, but what did Brian Schatz do? The video link was after the 2nd impeachment trial 2 years ago. Did he say something the the confirmation hearing? I must’ve missed it.
Love it, Mary! From Segregation to the Supreme Court!!

Even though I did not nominate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, I am glad she is the Good Human of the Week.
The poem Judge Jackson recited when she was confirmed was so powerful & seemed to be written for that moment.

"Leaving behind nights of terror & fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream & hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise"
~ Maya Angelou 1978
Ali Velshi did a marvelous job the whole time he was over there I have so much respect for his
work and the people he met and introduced to us on TV. I was stuck to the screen.

Just the mention of the seditious Josh Hawley makes my blood boil. He is despicable.
All three of your choices this week are spot on! I have nothing to add that you haven't said already. Kudos!
Thank you Mary for using my Eric Boehlert quote and for bring back the Good Human of the Week.
Well said Mary! HAGN

Mary, you are an asset to all women around the world. Thank you so much for your truth. Bless you, your family and your staff.
