Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley says President Biden's criteria for his Supreme Court pick is “unfair” to nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
But, he told Carlson,"It is really striking how unnecessary this was, how unprecedented it was and how unfair it was to the nominee. He could have said like past presidents have said, that he would like an African-American or a woman on the court. But he expressly said he would consider no one else except people that fit that threshold criteria."
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson speaks after President Joe Biden announced Jackson as his nominee to the Supreme Court. Friday, Feb. 25, 2022, in Washington. The irony, Turley said is that"you could not do this type of threshold exclusion if you were a school or a business, the Supreme Court has declared that unconstitutional or unlawful. "The reason that it’s unfair is that Judge Jackson is a remarkably accomplished jurist. She’s been on the court for a long time, she has a stellar resume, a stellar reputation. She did not deserve this.
