With KBJ Confirmed, Abortion Cases Take SCOTUS Center Stage
7 Apr 2022
BUCK: It is official. The Senate has confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson by a 53-47 vote. Three Republicans.
CLAY: You got it right.
BUCK: I gotta come up with some name. You’re Nashville Nostradamus. I’m like, I don’t know, somebody. The Michelangelo of Manhattan, but I’m not painting a Sistine Chapel. I gotta come up with something cool to say about my ability to predict the future. But maybe start, the Magician of Manhattan? I’ll figure it out.
Anyway, point is, I got it: Three Republicans did vote for Ketanji Brown Jackson, which is what I had assumed would happen. And, you know, Clay, now we’ll see. Already I think there’s a lot of political preparation for this next Supreme Court session decisions to come out, which just now coming up fast.
CLAY: Two months.
BUCK: Two months out. Jared Polis, the governor of Colorado, has signed the most radical abortion bill explicitly saying that you can terminate a pregnancy up until the moment of birth in the Colorado bill. My friend David Harsanyi at National Review wrote a very good piece on this yesterday. And you’re going to see other things, other places where Democrats in the state legislatures are deciding to try to codify it in advance of…
They’ll try to codify the full spectrum, at a state level, as a sort of companion to Roe, Clay, because they’re gearing up for what they think could be a sweeping… We don’t know. It could be a sweeping decision. I know we’ve gone back and forth with predictions on that one. But it’s gonna be a lively Supreme Court session — on a number of fronts, by the way.
CLAY: No doubt, and those opinions will be coming out in June, and then Stephen Breyer will step down at the end of June — and, most significantly, they’ve already said they’re going to hear the Harvard admissions case dealing with discrimination against Asians. That is the allegation, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, because she was on “the board of overseers,” I think is what they call it at Harvard, has already said she’s gonna recuse herself from that decision. So, only eight justices will be deciding affirmative action as it pertains to Harvard.
