Congratulations to Ketanji Brown Jackson for being nominated to the Supreme Court of the United States.

But I'm a little perplexed as to why we're putting another Washington elite on the Court. She was literally born in Washington DC, she's on the board of Harvard, married to a Boston Brahmin and hand-picked by Justice Breyer. Right now there's only one justice on the Court who isn't from Harvard/Yale. God forbid we put someone on the Court who graduated from a state college and actually worked as a retail clerk rather than a SCOTUS clerk.

A populist, she's not.

Although she apparently adheres to the constitutional limits on executive powers, which is reassuring.
