Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is poised to make history as the first Black woman to serve on America’s top court if confirmed by the U.S. Senate. So it’s not surprising that Fox News’ Tucker Carlson is making a fuss and objecting to President Joe Biden fulfilling his campaign promise to nominate a Black woman to the bench. Carlson is questioning Jackson’s credentials and demanding to see the accomplished judge’s LSAT scores.
“I’m a lawyer, and I can tell you that no one speaks of LSAT scores after their acceptance to law school; nor do those scores indicate how good of a lawyer or judge a law school applicant would be,” writes Dean Obeidallah. The maneuver is just another version of Donald Trump questioning Barack Obama’s ability to get into Harvard, or other GOP leaders who peddle replacement theory and enjoy the support of white supremacists, says Obeidallah. “Let’s cut through the B.S. This has nothing to do with LSAT scores.”

How do we make sense of this unprecedented moment in world history? Why is this all happening? Chris Hayes asks the big questions that keep him up at night every week on his podcast, aptly titled, “Why Is This Happening?“
In the newest episode, Chris talks to Sheryll Cashin, a Georgetown law professor who has spent decades studying housing and geography’s role in American inequality. In her book “White Space, Black Hood: Opportunity Hoarding and Segregation in the Age of Inequality,” she traces the history of anti-Black residential caste. She unpacks her findings and shares strategies for abolishing state-sanctioned practices that further perpetuate inequities.
This week on Into America, Trymaine Lee sits down with the women behind #SheWillRise, a campaign that kept pressure on President Biden to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court. Listen now.
