Senate hearings begin today on President Biden’s nominee to be the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge Katanji Brown Jackson. Since a few Republican Senators supported her recent appointment to the D.C. Appeals Court, this process is expected to be mostly a formality.

That should not be the case.

For one thing, Judge Brown Jackson is a longtime radical leftist activist. She has publicly professed being inspired by the Maoist strategy for dividing and conquering America known as Critical Race Theory, the divisive and ahistorical “1619 Project” and seditious Black Lives Matter protests. There is, of course, a place for adherents to such sentiments in a free society. But it’s not on the U.S. Supreme Court.

For another, as Dr. Carol Swain observes, a nomination process that explicitly was limited to black female candidates violates the Constitution. That’s a problem, too.
