Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is hardly a brilliant bench pick. Still, we should count our blessings. America was spared an even more grim alternative: Justice Kamala Harris.

In a promotional interview for his book on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, CNN anchor Jake Tapper suggested Harris could have been offered the position.

“They could’ve made her a Supreme Court justice, right?” He said in conversation with Alex Thompson, Tapper’s co-author, and Scott Galloway. “They could’ve said, at some point, when that position came open, we’re going to make you a Supreme Court justice and, you know, if you want to resign from the court and run for president in the future, that’s on you.”

“Let’s be honest, she’s certainly not the legal mind Ketanji Brown Jackson is,” Tapper continued, “but she would’ve been confirmed … if they really didn’t think she was qualified, there was an out right there.” Tapper is ostensibly trying to compliment Jackson. This is tricky, given Jackson may be the least competent Supreme Court justice in history. But credit where credit is due — Kamala Harris could probably give her a run for her money. Just imagine the quotes which would ooze from a Harris dissent.

Harris’ mental powers notwithstanding, Tapper might not be wrong. It is quite the indictment of the judicial appointment process that someone like Harris might ascend to the highest court in the land. But that’s failing upwards for you. “Can’t cut it as a vice president? No problem. We’ll just put you out to pasture with a lifetime gig interpreting the Constitution on behalf of your fellow Americans.” (Read more from “Think Kamala For President Was Bad?

The New York Times recently published a hissy fit about the White House allowing reporters into the Briefing Room who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris. Here was the amazing protest sentence: “Longtime White House reporters say the result has been an erosion of their independence.”

The presence of a reporter who didn’t vote Democrat doesn’t “erode” the anti-Trump animus (“independence”) of liberal activist journalists. It might balance it, suggesting journalism and liberalism are not exactly the same thing.

This spurred a trend. Politico’s Ian Ward profiled these invaders under the headline “Meet the 8 MAGA Outlets Disrupting the White House Briefing Room.” It carried the usual labeling about “the divide between the MAGA-friendly media and their more mainstream counterparts.” The extreme hatred of Trump is “more mainstream.”

Then came CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, who loves to wade into MAGA crowds, trying to find the dumbest-sounding Trump supporter he can find. In this case, he went looking for the dumbest-sounding White House reporter. The headline over the video was “‘Do you consider yourself a journalist?’ CNN meets MAGA media at White House.”

O’Sullivan showed clips of these pro-Trump reporters admitting their bias, and he proclaimed, “These are White House correspondents like you’ve never seen before.” Really? He spotlighted Cara Castronuova of Lindell TV asking if they’ll release Trump’s fitness routine, since he “actually looks healthier than ever before.” In 2009, a Washington Post reporter touted Barack Obama’s “chiseled pectorals.” (Read more from “Liberals Loathe Arrival of ‘MAGA Media’ Inside the White House” HERE)

Former Vice President Kamala Harris served up her signature “word salad” while attempting to deliver an inspirational speech to the cast of Broadway’s “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical” — with critics mocking the failed presidential candidate as the “drunk auntie.”

Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were spotted taking in two Broadway productions over the weekend: “A Wonderful World” and later “Gypsy.”

After being greeted by hearty cheers from the crowd — and even a standing ovation — Harris delivered a rambling post-show speech to the cast and crew.

“When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it, you know, nature abhors a vacuum,” Harris tells the musical’s cast in a clip shared on X.

NEW: Kamala Harris gives inspiring speech to the cast of 'A Wonderful World' on Broadway, inspires by noting how "nature abhors a vacuum."

“Where there’s a vacancy, let’s fill it. Let us know that the reality is that the progress of our nation has been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights,” the former veep continues.
