Your briefing on developments in the Supreme Court confirmation battle.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson, brow furrowed, asked his listeners Wednesday night how anybody can be expected to tolerate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation if the White House doesn’t release her LSAT scores. This is a democracy, goddamnit.
I got an academic scholarship to law school. You know how many people outside of law school have ever asked my LSAT score?
Zero.
Law students are notoriously competitive with one another, but nobody gives a shit about anyone’s LSAT scores once they get admitted.
The point of asking for her LSAT scores is to imply she is an affirmative action appointment and that she was admitted to Harvard because she was Black and not because she was qualified or as qualified as a White person.
Which causes me to say to Tucker, as I said on another chain, “Tucker, you are a racist”.
Or to put another way, Tucker Carlson replacing disgraced Bill O’Reilly proves that fat loudmouthed ignorant racist xenophobic misogynist gay bashing religious bigoted lying hypocrites are a dime a dozen.
Did you just call Tucker Carlson a nobody?
The LSAT was specifically designed to test the aptitude of applicants interested in studying law.
An aptitude test doesn’t measure achievement. It’s like judging a professor based on their PSAT score.
The last I heard Tucker was still working up to taking his GED.
This is like asking Obama to show his grades. Racists can’t believe anyone is smarter than them.
Tucker is just trying to distract from the slow momentum that will roll over him and his cadre at Fox. First they came for the oligarchs, then they noticed Tucker.
And again, if RT can be de-platformed, why not Fox?
This has been my experience applying for advanced degrees, and is probably a near-universal opinion, if I were to guess.
Once you achieve the needed score to jump through the hoops required for your degree program of choice, the results are forgotten.
How about Tucker’s TeeVee ratings, among sentient beings?
sure, baby wanker…as soon as you show us your certificate for completing kindergarten.
RT was merely a propaganda source. Just pull the plug…
To do FAUX properly would take a busload of exorcists, thousands of re-education camps, and an oil tanker or two of disinfectant.
Imagined FOX producer’s meeting quote: “Well, Tucker, you need to distract people from talking about your support for the Russians in Ukraine.”
LSAT is the new Birth Certificate.
Hey Tucker! Demand in one hand and crap in the other. See which one fills up first!
Well, okay, what you said, too.
OT: somehow it fits
I got an email from my local city rep. It was about the renaming of my old public school. They have a shortlist of names. They are all honouring Black or Indigenous people who have contributed to positive change; Michele Obama is one. There’s a Canadian who factored in some interesting parts of your history; Dr. Anderson Ruffin Abbott. He lived and had a practice in my neighbourhood. I want the school to be named after him.
Here’s a bit about him:
Dr. Anderson Ruffin Abbott, Canada’s first black doctor, was born in 1837. Although born in Toronto into a wealthy family, he travelled to the United States to work as one of only eight black surgeons in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Because of segregation he was only allowed to look after black troops.
Through his work, he befriended President Abraham Lincoln and treated him after he was shot. While he worked in the United States for part of his life, he also lived in Chatham and Dundas, Ontario where he became the first black coroner in Canada. He retired in Toronto where he had a primary residence on Dowling Avenue until 1903, and died in 1913.
During that time Dr. Abbott spent 1894 to 1897 employed as the Surgeon-in-Chief and Superintendent of Chicago’s Provident Hospital — the first training hospital for Black nurses in the United States.
Here’s the deal Tucker
