So Serious Question
is the daughter looking on at her mom, thinking her parent's marriage..
is almost always oppressive and must be either reclaimed or disavowed."???
is the daughter thinking..
Especially in the sexual realm, anything that could be viewed as traditional or average is passé???
OR, is she thinking..
GLAD MY parents are married and in love; NOT like my friends parents who don't even know each other!
The twitter responses repeatedly refer to her daughter as she. How do they know?
The "I'm not a biologist" response will be a millstone around the necks of the commie-pinko left for quite some time. The stupid party should use this in every campaign ad in the foreseeable future.
People (all people) want that special someone, who will love and care for them;
who will be With them, always.
Of course, Most people don't get that; they find out that their husband thinks he's a woman,
or that their wife is sleeping with her students
But that doesn't change the fact that 'normal' is the ideal
Oh yes, the loving family picture "card" gets played or is it a biological unit of 3. I'm cynical but it's a sweet picture and played to my emotions.
It's good to have a husband or a daughter who is proud of you, but it's a low bar for qualification for a seat on the Supreme Court. Nice family photo, but irrelevant.
I have this vague recollection in the John Robert's confirmation hearing , the outfits of his little children were mocked because they were dressed in their Sunday best. There was some snarky comment in the Washington Post about them looking like Easter eggs or something. The rules are always different when it's anything associated with a Republican.
The twitter responses repeatedly refer to her daughter as she. How do they know?
It’s just as relevant how they know the husband is not a woman.
All future mentions of gender must cite the contributing biologist.
Even in social settings.
Will the daughter get ribbed about her mom not knowing what a woman is?
I thought there was a tag for "deeply"
I wonder if everyone remembers Alito's wife being brought to tears because of the vicious attacks Kennedy and other Democrats made on her husband.
The daughter is looking on lovingly. I question the perception and/or honesty of anyone who describes the weird look on the husband’s face as loving.
And if Jackson were a Republican appointee, the daughter’s look would be described as creepily sexual and the police should be keeping an eye on Jackson for her daughter’s protection. My imagination is not wild enough to make a decent guess at what Maureen Dowd would do with the husband.
Is it OK to call her daughter her daughter?
I get so confused these days.
It’s been reported the Biden administration has developed plans to create the cabinet position of Secretary of Biology to sort out these thorny gender issues.
Isn't her husband culturally appropriating her?
Define 'deeply'.
My memory of the Alito confirmation hearing is strong. (Is it accurate? I don't know.) The questioning was hard and skewed, and at some point his wife broke down crying and left the room. She was a plain, regular wife, and her reaction made the Senators look like bullies. After that, the questioning eased and Alito was confirmed.
A genuine moment is worth a lot.
Viral, you say? I'm all over social media just about every day, & this is the first time I've seen it
The Dems and their media slaves are getting worried. Otherwise, why roll out the family? That's what losers do when they've run out of arguments.
They are so lucky they didn't have to hear Ketanji be accused of being a drunk, gang raping, predator in high school.
Her husband looks deep in thought, still trying to figure out what a woman is ...
Just like the SF Chronicle did when ACB was the nominee. They posted a nice, warm family picture of ACB and her family too, right?
I don't remember the Alito hearings but if the description of his wife's reaction is accurate, the serene look of Jackson's husband and daughter sure contrasts with attempts to make the GOP questioning sound unhinged.
I've got hundreds of photos like that.
One of my Dad at the Chicago Stockyards, overlooking his pen of steers that topped the market. To quote Brandon "that's a big f***ing deal".
All things being relative, arguably a bigger accomplishment. An Iowa dirt farmer topping out Chicago, vs, a Judge rising to SCOTUS. One is a beauty pageant, the other is skill and hard work.
Maybe they should check his hard drive.
I thought there was a “deeply” tag already, given Althouse’s known antipathy to that adverb, but perhaps it is reserved for funereal applications.
The level of gushing over this woman (if I can clearly identify her as such) is beyond my understanding. I'm obviously fine and good with her husband and daughter being captured in a moment of pride for her. Something we'd all feel for someone close to us. But the level of gushing coming from Democrats in the media, which is to say everybody in the media with the exception of Tucker Carlson, is ridiculous.
I'm still pumping Dramamine after watching Cory Booker's performance over the last couple of days. I'm wondering, was this photo taken as Cory Booker was showing his ebullience?
Bedwench alert! Bedwench alert! Kamala? Dorsey's gf? DeNiro's wife? And now a SCOTUS nominee?
One's an outlier. Two's suspicious. Three's a trend. Fiercely heterosexual black men like Cory Booker just can't catch a break!
The tears… the drama…
Dat’s why they call it acting!
“ I thought there was a “deeply” tag already, given Althouse’s known antipathy to that adverb, but perhaps it is reserved for funereal applications.”
Thanks
Will add
I have also seen that photo everywhere. And I have to wonder: So? A daughter looks thus at her Mom? And....?
As Eleanor said, having a kid look thus at you is hardly an endorsement for the Court.
deeply not meekly
to get down deeper and down
down down deeper down
The young woman is lovely and a lot better looking than her parents.
The photo is meant to show that KBJ is not a breeder like ACB with her scads of children. She is a responsible American with one child, not a brood of conservative Catholics.

The daughter looks admiring, proud of her mom in this moment, and the dad just seems bemused. Lovingly can be there as well I suppose. But who cares, really, except to wonder: is this nuclear family the result of radical or reflexive monogamy? Assuming a fact not in evidence, I know, but for purpose of analysis, assume the parental figure are faithful to each other. Is this result, a unit designated as a family, one that gazes lovingly at each other in a public form, is that to be desired as novel? Or rejected as normal.
I didn't know her husband is white. But I did know that Kamala Harris' husband is also. This is going to sound snarky but I wonder if black men are "underrepresented" as spouses of successful black (and near black) women. Is anyone calling for some sort of affirmative action?

Better than the cottage cheese corpulence of Ginny Thomas the insurrection enabling traitor to America.
Easy, stomach--don't turn over.
It is so easy to sentimentalize parents and children in public display--look at some of those old pictures of Joe and Hunter.
I am glad she has a beautiful daughter. Note the color-coding of the family uniform--blue jackets, lavender dress and necktie. Yup. They are all together. Husband doesn't look doting--he's just a guy who could be ordering lunch at Olive Garden.
So, what do our CRT/white fragility enthusiasts think about the daughter's 50% fragility quotient? What did they think about BHO's?

Good to see they aren’t wearing masks
Howard--you got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Cheer up! Your team can still apply the wrecking ball to America for the foreseeable future.
Go forth and destroy, if that is what you want. No one here can stop you.
you can’t blame howard

This is an affirmative action appointment. The only purpose of the hearings is for Republicans to demonstrate that Jackson will be another mindless mouthpiece for progressive idioc-er, ideology. That is working out.
Democrats demonstrate their intellectual deficiency by comparing this to rape allegations against Kavanaugh and religious slurs directed at Barrett.

I’m a pro-Trump right-winger and I say confirm her. I’ve listened to none of her testimony and only read a bit about her, but I want her confirmed because she seems like a nice person based on photos. This is my new metric. It’s quick. It’s intuitive, and I’m done wasting brain neurons on political tribalism. You can judge books by their covers and people by their looks. You know it, I know it, we all know it.
She's an accomplished black woman. Untouchable. She will be a reliable leftist vote on the court.
The only thing that could make her perfect - is if she were really a biological male.

Oh well--a nice picture and let it go at that.
My wife's friend voted for Biden because he was "nice".
Ha! Remember when a woman behind Kavanaugh headaches of making a white power symbol on her arm? And now we are an
Posed to see the husband's look as loving the political press is disgusting
Was accused of. Not headaches
Another gem from our resident genius, Howard: "neo-Putin Republican Party." If it were literally true, wouldn't Howard become a Republican? Putin's a statist, Howard is a statist, so what's the problem?
In my opinion, the panelists missed a very good opportunity to refute Brown Jackson's sarcastic answer 'I'm not a biologist'. The immediate follow-up should have been, 'but this is not strictly a Biology question, is it? What is your answer, judge?'. They should have anticipated an evasive answer. I think such a riposte would have put paid to the indulgences that wokeism has been tacitly granted to become pervasive in our culture. It's toxic; not to confront it, is to encourage it.
1. Okay, nice moment for the family.
2. Remember to hose off your blog for inviting the SF Chronicle.
Playing the miscegenation card.
Highlighting the cute daughter seems a little unfair to the other daughter.
Cruel, actually.
Get a room guys....
Sorry for our clear racism, Howie.
We're just criticizing her easy om pedos sentencing and inability to define a woman because AOC IS SO HOT!
But it might be nice if WH wasn't holding back on her docs.
I only question that because because AOC IS SO HOT!
Christine Blasey-Ford is crying right now.
Breaking news: nominee for government position loved by own child!
I am not sure what this photo means. Joseph Goebbels had two loving wives and eight loving children, but at the end he hurt all but one and was really really bad for his country.
I haven't read the other comments, so I doubt I'm the first to ask, did the media report glowingly about Kavanaugh's or Barrett's families?
Instead, it was implied that Kavanaugh was a predator, and Barrett was a religious nut. No societal breakthroughs with those two.
A headline I don't recall: "Barrett's nomination a victory for adoptive mothers."
@Butkus51
"Christine Blasey-Ford is crying right now."
All the way to the bank.
KBJ something!
". This hole black woman nomination is a troll to highlight how thoroughly Midieval the Neo-Putin Republican Party has devolved."
I would think a guy who claims to be the intellectual superior of his follow commentators would actually know the difference between "hole" and "whole". Apparently not.
Thanks for playing "Who is the supercilious ninny playing spell checker", Chris. It took Quaestar a half dozen trolls to get the game.
Intellectual superiors don't dwell on the mindless drudgery that is basically woman's work. I guess you secretary types need validation. Bravo
Clarence Thomas should just declare theirself as a female lesbian and become the first female justice.
"Then, he uploaded 36 images and videos of child porn to his iCloud account, when police executed a search on his apartment. There were videos of 11 and 12 year olds committing sexual acts, a video of an 11-year-old being raped by an adult male, a video of an eight-year-old committing a sexual act, to name a few. Police found 17 videos and 16 images of boys on his computer and phone, many of them violent. The teen later pleaded guilty."
Three months is a long time to be away from your computer.
"Intellectual superiors don't dwell on the mindless drudgery that is basically woman's work."
It's called spelling and grammar.
One husband, one wife, and from their union was conceived a daughter, each of whom follow societal norms that normalize a favorable juxtaposition of the sexes and individuals. That said, their functional union and behavior may not make her nomination, but a dysfunctional union and behavior would surely break it. The remainder is, hopefully, a difference in opinion to resolving reconciliation among the several hundred million individuals without a universe unto ourselves, existing on a plain with finitely available and accessible resource.
Exactly Chris. Women's work. You go girl.
I trust the honesty of MSM... They couldn't find any Nazis... oh wait!

Yeah the guardians of democracy, our country's best interest at heart.
"Howard said...

An internet troll with the emotional maturity of an angry 8 year old (any relation to Orange the Clown?) is questioning my manhood because I can use standard English and he can't. I'm going to need nanoseconds of therapy to get over this.

Correct, except it is far-left. The left is authoritarian, the right is libertarian, the far-left is totalitarian, the far-right is anarchist, the left-right nexus is leftist. That said, diversity (i.e. color judgment, class-based bigotry) is dogma of the Pro-Choice "ethical" religion subscribed to be the Progressive Cult, Corporation, Clinic, etc. breeds adversity. #HateLovesAbortion
Jackson Brown said she didn't know anything about the VMI case. She must be lying.
The VMI case is one of the landmarks of the law on sex discrimination. The VMI case was argued in January 1996 and decided in June 1996. She graduated from Harvard Law School in 1996. The idea that she knows nothing about the case (she said this right before she said she wasn't able to provide a definition of woman) is preposterous. She will be a political hack, carrying water for the Democratic left.
I would vote against her for insulting the intelligence of the senators and the American people.
Hey, Howard--now that you have mastered "whole" (with some tutelage), spell "medieval" for us.
No fair peeking!
A48: Too funny. I spelt Midieval write yesterday because I had to look it up on Google. My blogger interface spell check sux.
If my wife were to be appointed to a powerful position simply because of her gender and skin color? I wouldn't be proud. I'd be embarrassed.
I wouldn't even be there.
In fact I'd do everything in my power to convince her to decline it.
Who fucking cares. Hitler was a vegetarian who loved animals...
She looks good natured and benign and her family looks to be sane and supportive, unlike Corey Booker who went all Toobin on her. She's about as much as you can hope for. I think Republicans should vote for her. Maybe it will diffuse some of the acrimony that surrounds these nominations.
....The Supreme Court will now, by my count, have four women on it, but only ACB is conservative. She younger, thinner, and better looking than the other justices. I do hope they don't go all mean girls on her and make her eat at a separate table during lunch. If she hangs out too much with Kavanaugh or Thomas, their tongues will start to wag. Alito looks safe and not a gossip magnet. She should probably hang out with him during lunch. I'm sure he would behave like a gentleman and not make any moves on her.
"I think Republicans should vote for her. Maybe it will diffuse some of the acrimony that surrounds these nominations."
That's a joke, right?
The only thing of consequence in this episode is Dems 3 Reps 6 (or 3.5 vs 5.5).
But the Squad thinks that Clarence Thomas' wife is a supreme court justice, or believes that guilt by association for an un-adjudicated and un-indicted crime is worthy of punishment.
I wonder what her white husband thought when Booker started that jive-talk. It's hard to believe the Brown family speaks that way at home.

Has to be.
Back in the Clinton administration, only 3 Republican Senators voted *against* RGB and 1 Democrat did not vote. 9 Republicans voted *against* Breyer with 3 Republicans and 1 Democrat not voting.
W's nominees
22 Democrats voted for Roberts.
4 Democrats voted for Alito.
Obama's nominees
9(!) Republicans voted to confirm Sotomayor.
5 Republicans voted to confirm Kagan.
Trump's nominees
3 Democrats voted to confirm Gorsuch.
No Democrat voted for either Kavanaugh or Barrett.
We remember the dems finding Barrett's family "creepy" and Kavanaugh's merely damnable because they supported such a flagrant womanizing rapist.
So this "oh so touching loving squeezing family" tableau for the heartstrings is only a reminder of their despicable hatred for anything against their hold on power.
Either that, or it's the media doing the equivalent of gawking and cooing at zoo animals for acting like humans. The press is pretty reliably guilty of that, particularly as regards Black families being normal humans, so I suggest there's no shortage of "institutional racism", i.e., the soft bigotry of low expectations, in this sort of coverage, too.
