Fox Newsās Tucker Carlson says āit might be timeā for President Joe Biden to reveal Judge Ketanji Brown Jacksonās Law School Admission Test results.
Last week, Biden nominated Jackson to be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. During Carlsonās show Wednesday night, he commented on Bidenās State of the Union address.
āBiden went on to mention someone called Ketanji Brown Jackson,ā Carlson said, adding, āThatās not a name most Americans know because Ketanji Brown Jackson has been an appellate judge for less than a year. But Joe Biden assured us that she is, quote, āone of our top legal minds.ā
Carlson went on to ask, āSo, is Ketanji Brown Jackson ā a name that even Joe Biden has trouble pronouncing ā one of the top legal minds in the entire country?ā
He added, āWe certainly hope so. Bidenās right. Appointing her is one of his gravest constitutional duties. So it might be time for Joe Biden to let us know what Ketanji Brown Jacksonās LSAT score was. How did she do on the LSATs? Why wouldnāt you tell us that?ā
The Fox News host suggested it would āsettle the question conclusively as to whether sheās a once-in-a-generation legal talent, the next Learned Hand. It would seem like Americans in a democracy have a right to know that and much more before giving her a lifetime appointment, but we didnāt hear that.ā
Watch Carlsonās comments below:
In 2020, Biden vowed to put a Black woman on the Supreme Court if he were elected president.
As he was introducing Jackson at the White House, Biden said, āFor too long, our government, our courts havenāt looked like America.ā
He added, āI believe itās time that we have a court that reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation with a nominee of extraordinary qualifications, and that we inspire all young people to believe that they can one day serve their country at the highest level.ā
Biden nominated Jackson weeks after Justice Stephen Breyer announced plans to retire.
