Keisha Toni Russell, a constitutional lawyer at First Liberty Institute, argued that Ketanji Brown Jackson cannot uphold the Constitution if she believes it is racist.
Russell said her own experience defied critical race theory, which holds that in America’s society, white people are oppressors and racism is not the result of individual beliefs but embedded in America’s legal system and institutions.
“CRT proponents claim that America was founded—and the Constitution was drafted—to promote racism and slavery,” she argued. “Ultimately, we cannot expect a critical race theorist to defend and protect the Constitution, because CRT asserts that the Constitution is not worth defending.” She also noted that CRT believes America must address racism by encouraging racism, which would interfere with a judge’s impartiality.
