Lindsey Graham (R-SC) came out firing with a pretty simple question during Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson\u2019s Supreme Court confirmation hearing Tuesday: Why are all the woke activists on the left backing her?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery group that wants to pack the court, that believes the court is a bunch of right-wing nuts who are going to destroy America, that considers the Constitution \u2018trash\u2019 \u2014 all wanted you picked,\u201d Graham said. \u201cThat is all I can say. That so many of these left-wing radical groups who would destroy the law as we know it . . . supported you is problematic for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Graham makes a compelling point. Why would radical organizations like Demand Justice \u2014 the most influential group on the left fighting to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/demandjustice.org\/priorities\/supreme-court-reform\/\">pack the court<\/a>, funded by Arabella Advisors, a massive progressive dark-money group, and the Open Society Policy Center, one of George Soros\u2019 nonprofit advocacy arms \u2014 cheer Jackson\u2019s nomination? <\/p>\n<p>Why would leftist groups like American Atheists, the Human Rights Campaign, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, the National Education Association and the Southern Poverty Law Center push the White House to nominate Jackson and the Senate to confirm?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is obvious. The left\u2019s replacement for old reliable Justice Stephen Breyer is not going to be a modern Sandra Day O\u2019Connor. Ketanji Brown Jackson is a woke Trojan horse, as the preponderance of evidence suggests.<\/p>\n<p>As Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) demonstrated during his questioning, Jackson is a radical when it comes to issues of race.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/ketanji-brown-jackson-233.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Sen.

I don\u2019t think so. I believe it\u2019s an academic theory that\u2019s at the law school level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Jackson sits on the board of a school that assigns and recommends numerous books on critical race theory, among them \u201cCritical Race Theory: An Introduction,\u201d \u201cHow to Be an Antiracist\u201d by Ibram X. Kendi and \u201cThe End of Policing,\u201d a tract advocating the abolition of police. Summer reading for third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students includes another Kendi book, which states that racial colorblindness is really just a convenient cover for racism. For pre-K students, Kendi\u2019s \u201cAntiracist Baby\u201d urges infants to confess their supposed racism.<\/p>\n<p>And given all the criticism of Jackson\u2019s weak record on crime and sentencing \u2014 not to mention the White House withholding 48,000 pages of documents related to her time on the Sentencing Commission \u2014 it should be noted that the model legislation advanced by many of these same left-wing groups that endorsed her, the BREATHE Act, would make soft-on-crime policies law. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/ketanji-brown-jackson-239.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Sen.

It would even put the minimum age for trial as an adult to 24.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>On abortion and religious liberty, it\u2019s clear where she stands. Jackson co-authored an amicus brief for the Massachusetts NARAL chapter characterizing pro-life sidewalk counselors as \u201cindisputably harmful\u201d and supporting the notion that they should not be allowed anywhere near an abortion clinic.<\/p>\n<p>When pressed Tuesday by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on the looming conflicts between religious dissenters and the Supreme Court\u2019s invention of a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, Jackson blithely replied, \u201cThat is the nature of a right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senate Republicans shouldn\u2019t fall for the Democrats\u2019 coordinated effort to portray this nominee as a reasonable judge with mainstream views. Follow the money and see where it goes. If the craziest woke activists and their billionaire donors are supporting Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, it\u2019s a safe bet that she will do everything she can to push the court further to the radical left.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jon Schweppe is director of policy and government affairs at American Principles Project. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>: @JonSchweppe.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
