Book of D: Associate Justice-designate of the Supreme Court of the United States ⚖️ Ketanji Brown Jackson ⚖️

This is a grand day of historical, epic proportions. There is not much I have to say about Jackson's confirmation hearings because if you were paying attention, the republicans made a mockery of the proceedings. Jackson's curriculum vitae (CV) speaks for itself and stands to justify why she is the best choice to replace former associate justice of the Supreme Court Stephen Gerald Breyer. I am in complete awe of Jackson. She is intelligent, fair, compassionate; moreover, she loves the Rule of Law. Jackson's ethics will ensure that she adheres to what rule of law means; somewhere, I strongly believe that Justice Robert H. Jackson is exceptionally thrilled with today's vote and POTUS Biden's nom. That's all I have to and want to say for now. Congratulations to Associate Justice of the Supreme Court ⚖️ Jackson,

Excerpt (CNN):

• Jackson was confirmed by a vote of 53 yeas and 47 nays. Three GOP senators crossed party lines and voted for her: Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
• Jackson will be the first ever Black woman to sit on the bench. Biden had said during his 2020 presidential campaign that he was committed to nominating a Black woman to the Supreme Court if elected.
• Ahead of the final vote, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the moment a "joyous, momentous, groundbreaking day." Schumer went on to say, "In the 233-year history of the Supreme Court, never, never has a Black woman held the title of Justice. Ketanji Brown Jackson will be the first, and I believe the first of more to come."
• The Senate chamber was packed for the Senate vote, with most senators seated at their desks. The vote initially proceeded quickly as a result, but was later held open for some time when it became clear that GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky was the only senator who had not voted. The chamber waited for him to arrive and vote before it was gaveled closed.
• Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black woman to serve as vice president, presided over the chamber during the historic vote in her capacity as president of the Senate.
• Democratic senators erupted in applause after Jackson's confirmation was announced. Romney also joined in on the applause.

Book of D: Serenity in Our Home Office

 Ever since we renovated our home office, I can't get enough of working in the space. We haven't quite finished it yet, but it is about 97% completed. I am waiting on getting a copy of my spouse's master's degree; she has the original in her work office. I can't wait until I get my master's degree to proudly display it at my work office, too, with a copy at home. Anyway, the space at home is cozy, and it allows for us to work, read, whatever, in peace and serenity (I know, both are kind of the same). And, yes, we are keeping our Christmas lights up until I can replace them with LED strip lighting. 😏😃😠

Book of D: The Cacophony and Malady of JC (a.k.a. Jesus Christ)

I met with a client today, yep, I see clients on Sunday, and we talked about the problems of the world. Mostly, those issues created by the so-called Christians who want non-Christians, atheists, and agnostics to subscribe to their b/s. My client made a good point about how JC was probably a really cool guy, a hipster who liked talking to different people. I told the client I agreed; moreover, I said that I would bet to say that JC was gay or bisexual. Afterall, he loved to hang out and converse with men – 12 to be exact. LOL 😆. We both laughed and wondered what others would think if they could hear us proudly boasting our LGBTQ cause via JC, Superstar. It felt wonderful to vent knowing our emotions were sans any angst. We agreed that the bible is not a good method of argument if not everyone at the debate possesses a belief in it; it merely becomes a book – like Grimms' Fairy Tales, Moby Dick, or The Hunger Games. I ended our Sunday session by saying that all the rantings of modern-day arguments over religion would most likely just bother JC and piss him off. He would probably be disoriented by the cacophony and bUll$h!t of the maddening malady that afflicts humankind.
