Can we remove judicial immunity from judges yet!!
what is a woman, I’m not a biologist
😂
Your mama
Right!? She needs to figure that out before trying to weigh in on these complicated matters
Its like AOC became a Supreme Court justice.
The office of President is right now functioning against the law 😮
@@JasonBrown-sg6xw😂what law?😂
@kingsaccoutabilty, If you’re ok with Joe’s contempt of congress then you’re ok with him taking bribes.
@@kingsaccountability bribery laws, immigration laws, 2nd ammmendent laws
@@kingsaccountabilityPelosi herself said Biden can not delete student loans, but they're doing it unconstitutionally. Also the first amendment. Using the doj and fbi the censor
Funding war. . it would go pages deep. He's establishment. They hate Trump
@@kingsaccountability Biden bypasses Congress A LOT, with Executive Orders---which is actually unconstitutional, if what he does is normally a Congressional decision.
This woman is embarrassing.
Why? Please elaborate.
@@eric1302in plain language she's not a judge but a DNC hack.
why?
@sonofman9404 If you knew the "Son of man" you wouldn't have asked.
@@timothy4557 Apart from her not knowing what a woman is, what about her argument is embarrassing in this case?
Why does she sound like she’s not even a lawyer?
She can't answer what a woman is tho.
The FUCK did you listen to? She's probably the smartest justice in a long time.
@@collinwebster291
She's been installed there for the purpose of wokism.
Lol what? How does she sound like she's not even a lawyer?
@@collinwebster291 She is as corrupt as any other. Here she isn't even prepared, which is why her voice shakes and is constantly in some urgent state. She even cuts her own self off to ask more dumb questions.
Kentanji shows how inept she is to even b on the court (DEI)
💯
Alito is the worst justice in the history of the court.
@@marksolum1794 I think that old crazy woman Ruth bader ginseng or whatever her name was. Probably tops the list of bad judges
Can't define a woman, Can't figure out how a president who keeps his word can be so hated.
We need to take a lifetime appointment off of Highest court and second total 6 years in congress.. then move on.
just don't appoint biased liberial judges
Typical DEI hire....Apparently she has never taken a civics class.....
Your comment is insulting to Justice Jackson & to every fair-minded person in this country. When she took her seat on the Court, Justice Jackson instantly became its most qualified member by virtue of both education & experience. The only Justice who comes close to her is CJ Roberts. She is one of only two Justices who have served at all the levels of the federal judiciary. Her service on the judiciary has been lauded by leaders of both parties & legal scholars of every philosophy. Her years of service exceed the service of four of the other Justices -- added together! Yet, you dismiss her as a DEI hire, which does not diminish her, but reveals a lot about you. Because she is a Black woman, she had to watch as Justices far less qualified & competent were added to the Court. Sadly, now that she is on the Court, she is writing thoughtful, cogent dissents, rooted in the provisions of the constitution, to a continuing series of majority opinions which betray & contradict the constitution. She is more than up to the job. Over time, the other Justices will move in her direction just from the influence of her intellect.
BTW, it amazes -- and disappoints -- me to see Americans disparage diversity, equality & inclusion. These are ideas our country has long championed & represented to the world. If we stop championing them, the world will pass us by & leave us in their dust. Day after day, issue after issue, Republicans are trying to drag us into the past. I remember that past & it was not a period when we were great. After establishing ourselves as the leaders of the world at the end of WW II, racism, bigotry, misogyny & other forms of hatred & intolerance almost toppled us from that position. Now, some want to take us down that hateful road to destruction, and to make sure it destroys us, they also want us to betray our allies. They have fallen under the control of our enemies & they are advocating what would be our destruction. I learned early how insidious & powerful bigotry can be & its resurgence in the country I love breaks my heart.
@@kennethhamlett10h not a single person is going to read that wall of text.
Also, nobody has the right to not be offended. Arguments against offense are always foolish in a freedom-focused country. Get mad all day. Nobody cares.
Good day.
DEI AT WORK FOLKS! DOESN'T KNOW WHAT A WOMAN IS NOR HAS SHE READ THE CONSTITUTION IN ITS ENTIRETY.
. . . and the FAR GREATER question - - what's to stop Obiden, the Deep State, the liberal press, etc. etc. etc. from FURTHER taking over the Executive Branch! Seriously - Trump is SMALL PEANUTS compared to the depth of the communists already in Washington, probably including the Judge with the kooky name.
Yet they still gave her the job.
@@CRayBeats that's how DEI works. You get the job based off the color of your skin and not based on the experience or achievements made.
The left is trying to fill the courts with people just like her. Scary.
So basically if any person known as black gets out of the mail room to a higher position, it's dei? smh ignorance at its best. This country is $hit and whose been in power since its beginning?
Unbelievable - needs to read the Constitution.
Oh boy.
Conversely, if KBJ has her way, what is to stop the DOJ from doing whatever it wants????
In 1973, DOJ wrote an entire opinion on her question
Prove it. A POTUS does not have absolute immunity
Impressive, Justice Jackson. Keeping it real
She's talking about Joe Biden
She's talking about all presidents
Is she referring to JB sounds like it .
She needs to be asking Bidens Handlers how they follow the law!
What are the odds one of the other justices wrote these questions for her?
Crazy how these questions about about trumps lawyers argument. It’s literally questions about specific elements of trumps argument
She's got it out for trump
She was appointed as a DNC hack is her only reason to be there.
It is sad, but listening to Sotomayor, Brown Jackson and Hagan ask lawyers questions, you know they have made their decision.
The same can be said about the other 5🤔
I think they made their decision when they decide they don’t need to read the constitution as written and intended. After that, it can mean anything you want. Jackson wants the president to be just any other ceo. She doesn’t understand checks and balances.
Do judges have immunity more so than a president? Making a wrong call that affects everyone.
Has she actually ever said anything?
She said she is not a biologist...
🤨
Who was talking in the video then?
Do they ever?
Other than pointing out the obvious that a president shouldn’t be able to avoid criminal prosecution, yeah
@@harrylundie5542 If a president commits illegal acts they are impeached and tried by the senate. That happened here and the senate was not able to determine conviction. so with all due respect what in the F are you talking about.
I’ll bet she called Barry and told him that he’d better lawyer up
Obviously nothing. Biden is doing what he wants, even while a senator.
Well, as far as I can tell, the guy who is "doing what he wants" isn't the one in court as a defendant against 91 criminal counts.
Is she saying, axed, acts or asked?
Hahaha
😂😮
Yes
She axed a question about official acts
Oh my
There is only one question left... How do we remove this I dot from the supreme court?
For?
@@thatoneguy3055 For being unqualified and incompetent.
@@RedWaveGraphicsWe would then need to remove every supreme court justice since she is more qualified than all of them combined.
I'm guessing that George W. & Obama are hoping she shuts up about now.
Ugh , the poor supreme court
i dont k now what is more pronounced on her, ignorance? stupidity? corruption? malevolence? she has it all
I am not sure how she isn't making perfect sense
The trolls are out today. Do you even know what those words are?
Of course!
He was still the president of the United States on January 6. He didn’t believe that it was a fair election, and as the top official of a federal election, he had every right to challenging the outcome. And his words were recorded to protest peacefully.
Challenge the outcome? He had his supporters storm the capital, fake electors were put together, calls were made to find votes! Open your eyes man
Correct. Plus none of the Justices defined what official acts are, nor are they authorized to do so for the President.
@@UncleFordsInterrogatoriesif you listened to the argument that’s because drawing any distinction between a public and private act is arbitrary at best. The rule of law doesn’t stop at private acts and why should it ? What distinction there makes it viable for the president to be immune from following the law of the country they lead ?
Exactly right Jonmccarty!
@@harrylundie5542 For similar reasons Judges get absolute immunity for decisions in court. I don't agree with any immunity. What I am saying is the courts invented immunity. But for the President, no one has jurisdiction absent Congressional say so.
Not surprised she doesn't understand. She can't define woman
She appears to be reading more into it. I think her view conflicts with the law.
When does Bri...dem follow the law? 🤡🤡
When did Plasket join SCOTUS? Unbelievable!
How can justice Jackson question anyone on anything, when she a woman can't even say what a woman is??????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿😮
Congrats the third word in your sentence answered your own question
can't expect person who does not know what is woman can judge anything. what a fool !
What prevents the President from doing whatever he wants. Common sense and a will to put the country first. It is the President's job to ensure policies and laws are put in place that allow the people to thrive. If a President puts in place laws and regulations that hinder or damage the populace, then he is doing whatever he wants.
Browns comments makes me think of biden and the dem administration. They could care less if they break the laws and they're constantly getting away with it.
What? The whole point of this is BECAUSE trump want to break laws and get away with it, what are you even talking about?
What gives a Unelected unaccoutnable appointed bureaucrats the authority to question what a president decision he makes.
What is a woman? 👩
The answer to her question is the oath of office. He is bound by his oath to use his powers of office for the advancement of our nation.
He lived up to his office while he in office....in sharp contrast to Biden, Obama, and most other democrats in our govt.
He also is bound by the Constitution..Congress, etc....there are checks and balances so no one person can control everything. Now that the President has this Executive Action crap....
😂😂😂 you people are completely delusional
Justice Jackson who doesn't know what ia a woman or the definition of a woman during her confirmation
This person couldn't say what a woman is.
It is obviously apparent that this judge asks til she can get HER bend of the law !
What is a woman justice Jackson ?
She is violating Marbury vs Madison by simply judging a president.
She is an embarrassment to the country, the court and herself. It’s disgusting that she’s on the Supreme Court. Hopefully, she will be ignored as much as possible and she will do little damage.
What in her argument do you disagree with?
Why?
She got owned on her activist approach and she cut off counsel. Decorum at finest…. Not. She’s sound more like an activist than an impartial, unbiased justice of the highest court. It’s truly an embarrassment.
She sounds like AOC.
Can she just shut up and let him speak?
WHAT IS A WOMAN!?!?!?!
Ketanjy Jackson is really talented and brillant !❤
DEI hire
AI Ya, This Satelite Transfirmer Must Destroy !!!!
God damn. I didn’t think this was a foolish lawsuit until I heard her argue for it.
What a joke of a case.
What about nuisance or frivolous criminal prosecution against one another? How to remedy those that are proved to have behaved along say…political lines? If a prosecution is determined to be unfounded and intended to be,let’s say, to influence an election, what recourse would a president have or a nation have?
THIS IS FOR ELECTION INTERFERENCE, When all over the country States are finding it. He doesn't need immunity, he needs an AWARD
The Question Build By Wrong Law , Not For Trump Case In Court Trial, - That Must On Congress Judiciary Hearing Floor, Becouse The Court Predict Walk By Politic Conspiration Power , So Sad . Thanks All, ..... Cheerio.*****.
Her constant urgent inflection is really annoying. Her refusal to acknowledge Congress's responsibility to check the Presidency is akin to denying the value of k-12 American education.
Precisely. I don’t like the checks on the President in the constitution so I am going to rule that it should be more.
Hope Cingress Court Fired Them All From Judiciary Court Room .-;
REALLY !!!
I’m a Trump supporter and she does have a point. How can a president be immune to any criminal prosecutions. Now if they are going after Trump then go after previous presidents too. Be fair.
In Court Habit, What Fed Law Said ,Thats The Valueable For All In Court Trial, Just Not Your Opinion.And Word , As I'am Not So Sure. This Particulier Opinion Not Law. Thanks All, .... Cheerio.*****.
This is a living example of AI
Hearing the hypothetical question from KBJ and got strong smell of arrogance and ignorance at same time.
You don’t look normal big surprise 😮
She sounds like a nasty person. Keeps cutting off the attorney. Major TDS.
She keeps saying “but let me ask you this” after being clearly refuted.
Im sorry but isn't this what impeachment is for.?. If the president is behaving in an illegal manner the person acting as president can be removed from the position via impeachment and trial by the senate. Im so confused by this line of questioning.
Yes. That's what he tried to say in his reply to her questioning but she wanted to quickly brush it aside and continue what she was saying.
@@mscolli3 DEI strikes again I'm afraid
Katanyi still thinks she owes Biden and the Dems so we know her stance
She's the wisest Judge here with common sense.
That's why they have impecment for high crimes and misdemeanors.
How did this woman get to where she's at!? It's certainly NOT because she is qualified!! I call foul. 🤬
This woman couldn't even tell you what a woman actually was when asked at her conformation hearing...what a joke !!!
When common sense is a prerequisite to being a president, and if the president can define what a woman is, that question is out of point for a normal human being.
Becuase of the conflict of interest, with the senate and congress. Which represents states, that are sovereign. The presidential position, is powerful over states.
Ms. Jackson asks her questions from her own paradigm. The potential corruption she sees exists in her own mind and the circles she travels in.
What prevents jobama from doing whatever communism he wants? What's a woman? Idk!
Lets get hillary, biden, obama then...so doesnt she see the hypocracy. How typical
Congress, and senate.
Why does this woman sound so emotional?
Compare her composure to Amy Coney Berret.
How did Ketanji Kunta Kente Jackson get on the court? Oh yeah, DEI.
Nevermind...
The racism, ignorance and cynicism of some of the comments posted below is mind blowing. God help US. Oh wait, we’ve never been united right.?
Racism?
I did not see racist remaks. R YOU saying DEI IS racist?
@@dpalmer1557 You did not scroll down far enough. I know you don't even support DEI. It's obvious in some of these comments. More importantly, Katanji was asking Sauer the obvious.
Bad bad decision after leaving office????? What is Rong with this line??? So after living office prosecution Will arrive since someone else is in charge???
We get it, she doesn't like Trump.
This woman doesn't know what a woman is? She should not judge anything!
The constitutional question is simple. Checks and balances. These are the people who make the laws and the president is there ro keep the balance
Gibberish from kunrpta kente
A supreme court judge that should realy be waiting tables ,she lacks intelligence
What To Breaking Law To Crime Law Capacity (?) This Must Get Opserver First In Law Campuss Lab By Prof Law Expert ( ?! ) Not By Your Opinion Only , This Can Destruct Fed Law System Value ( Have Conspire Involve ) In US Country. Thanks All, .... Cheerio *****.

She is brilliant

All Presidentcie Job Been Take Agree From Congress Or Chamber House Before To Admins Include Constitution Concideration Put. Not Self Thinking. - Thanks All, ..... Cheerio.*****.
This woman is on the Court for life. She is setting the stage to try BHO for murder.
It is ugly & unbecoming of KBJ to take herself so seriously just because she's now a Supreme Court Justice. Her narcissism just oozes her conceit throughout her pontificating style of "grandstanding".
The point I'm making here is not trivial just because it sails over most readers' heads.
The point I'm making is that the collective "Supreme Court of the USA" must know its own boundaries & limitations. In other words, there are some things the Supreme Court and its Justices CAN NOT DO! For example, no Supreme Court Justice can give or derive a medical or surgical opinion. In such circumstances, each and every Supreme Court Justice must recuse himself/herself from pretending to issue any medical or surgical opinion. Likewise, each and every Supreme Court Justice must constantly be forever vigilant about its own judicial body being duped, gamed, or undermined...as in this obvious case of "Presidential Election Interference".
KBJ is so hyper-intellectualizing the issue to the detriment of her ability to think simply or clearly on same. Obviously, KBJ can't see the "forest for the trees". Like it or not: Trump was and still is "hugely popular". Those that hate and despise Trump...naturally have a huge incentive to derail his Presidency or more importantly...his "Run for the Presidency". The whole "heart of the issue" is a "criminal prosecution" or any "prosecution" of a putative incumbent "Presidential Nominee" or as in Trump's most unusual case {(that being that this is the first time in modern "Presidential History"--DURING THE INTERNET ERA NO LESS---a past-President who lost his second term is running again (twice, for the second time) for the "Presidency" of the USA...four years after he lost as the "Incumbent".)} Consequently, Trump is being derailed due to one thing...and one thing only: THE FACT THAT HE IS SO IMMENSELY POPULAR. This fact of tremendous "POPULARITY" is the singular motivation his detractors need to "maliciously prosecute" him. The "malicious prosecution", therefore, becomes a blatant form of "CAMPAIGN INTERFERENCE".
Let the PEOPLE determine who the President is going to be...don't let the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH choose or de-select a President for the PEOPLE.
Likewise, we cannot allow the JUDICIAL BRANCH to choose or "de-select" our next President for the PEOPLE either. The next President---and all forthcoming Presidents---must be chosen BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE. Any interference by either BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT then becomes tantamount to "CAMPAIGN INTERFERENCE" in and by itself. The SUPREME COURT OF THE USA MUST RECUSE ITSELF ENTIRELY FROM THIS DISGUSTING FORM OF "JUDICIAL ACTIVISM" WHICH IS WHAT GOT THIS CASE SO FAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE USA CANNOT HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY CHOOSE OR DE-SELECT ANY PUTATIVE PRESIDENT OF THE USA, BAR NONE.
THE FUNDAMENTAL INGREDIENT INTO THIS DEBATE THEREFORE IS THE WORD "POPULARITY".
How ridiculous, why would a president ever give up power if there is no threat of prosecution 😮
Because there are checks and balances, the constitution and the will of the American people.
@marcrodriguez4830 the checks and balances and will of the people could be disregarded by a immoral president.
Like trump
You mean, like Joe Biden?
Jackson assumes to much
she is as smart as kamalla harris what a joke
