Ketanji Brown Jackson Puts IGNORANCE on Display at SCOTUS Hearing

well I don't know if you heard Justice Jackson uh yesterday but woo was she she's in tune with our system of government um here she is yesterday where free speech is on trial the government is making the claim that their free speech is being limited because they want to uh tell social media what to do and their first amendment rights are being trampled on just so you know the government doesn't have First Amendment rights the First Amendment right goes to the people and it says that the government can't tell you what you can say and what you can't say here is Justice Brown uh Jackson yesterday Justice Jackson so my biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods um I mean what would what would you have the government do I've heard you say a couple times that the government can post its own speech but in my hypothetical um you know kids this is not safe don't do it um is not going to get it done and so I guess some might say that the government actually has a d duty to take steps to protect the citizens of this country and you seem to be suggesting that that Duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging or even pressuring uh platforms to take down harmful information so can you help me cuz I'm really I'm I'm really worried about that um because you got the First Amendment operating sure um in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective and you're saying that the government can't interact with the source of those problems I'd love to help you with that I'd love to help you with that let me let me help you um and I appreciate your your asking for help um don't usually experience that you know Cry for Help on understanding any of the Amendments let alone the first one from a Supreme Court Justice but I appreciate your willingness to uh say I really don't have a clue as to what I'm doing here um see we have a Bill of Rights that was built our country is built unlike any other country in the world and our Bill of Rights came from a uh a founding era where they had been really living under the thumb of a tyrant and so they knew tyranny firsthand and it made them very very skittish about governments and what they could do do because when governments speak that's one thing the government can speak and say hey this is bad you shouldn't do this um but when governments coers people especially businesses well they've got an awful lot of power and that can turn into tyranny quickly now the the Bill of Rights was written uh and especially the first amendment was was written for those bad times you know you you I know you're worried about well I mean freedom of speech is great unless things are you know troubled well okay but that's why they wrote this down our uh documents are a negative Charter of Liberties so it means that the Bill of Rights apply to the citizens but not to the governments the government cannot do anything to violate these rights and if you know it changes when there's trouble or when the government feels there's trouble well then you don't really have the right do you and you really don't have any Shackles on the presidency the administration or the government what you have actually is another constitution written in 1936 it was really great uh it because of the way it I mean it was way way Advanced um all voting restrictions were taken off Universal direct suffrage the right to work the right guaranteed by the by the previous constitution in addition in 1936 and by the way I'm not talking about Germany okay 1936 the Constitution recognized the collective and social economic rights including the right to work the right to rest the right to Leisure the health protection care in old age and sickness and the right to housing and education and cultural benefits it was really a cuttingedge constitution because everybody wants that stuff right you have a universal right to it and all of the government bodies had to help provide those things because you the citizen have a right and they went right direct election of all government bodies and uh they they reorganized in 3 and they they just they M they streamlined the government you know so there wasn't a lot of red tape so article 122 in the um in the Constitution said that women are accorded equal rights with men now this is 1936 think about how advanced this is women have equal rights with men in all spheres of economic State cultural social and political life in fact they were really the first one to make sure that there was you know kindergartens and a universal right to kindergarten and maternity leave and praternity and protection of the mom and her interest it was really really really good in article 122 and 123 that was the equal rights for all citizens uh it was it was equity for everybody irrespective of their nationality or their race in all spheres of life and uh and they wanted to make sure that there was racial inclusiveness uh and no hatred or contempt or restrictions of Rights and privileges on account of nationality or race and uh if you did any of these hate crimes it was punishable by law so this is now the the Soviet Constitution um of 1936 and it was the longest running constitution of the Soviet Union and it was great article 124 guaranteed freedom of religion including the separation of church and state and school from church uh and 124 it ensured all citizens the freedom of conscious freedom of religious worship and freedom of any anti-religious propaganda recognized for all citizens which was nice and in 124 Stalin in the face of real stiff opposition there eventually said you know what maybe we should talk to the Russian Orthodox church maybe we should allow them you know to exist and he did uh kind of but uh it was all within the Constitution because see this constitution is a is a constitution of positive Liberties unlike ours negative Liberties telling the government what it cannot do theirs is a positive libert all the things the government must do and article 125 remember this is 1936 uh article 125 of the Constitution guaranteed freedom of speech in the press and freedom of assembly then they you know they said you know look the the the Communist Party really needs to come together and we can have diversity in the Communist party but it's only one party in the free elections so you could you could you could do that now this constitution was written in 1936 um and it was thoroughly Democratic thoroughly Democratic um I mean yeah once the writers of the Constitution and and the organizers uh you know finished it they were imprisoned and or executed right after uh because they were counterrevolutionaries and you know you got to get rid of those people there were some people that were just too radical uh and they were the writers of the the Constitution but you know that's an old dusty document you know sure it was written last week but they didn't foresee everything so um uh they started the great uh the uh the great Terror uh is what it's called I don't know what happened during the Great Terror but it coincided with the signing of the new constitution in the but everybody was protected you could say whatever you want uh you know you could look at the great Terror or the subcategory of the Great Purge uh and say hey you know what they're they're stepping on those rights there of those people but they're people that the state really doesn't you know the state really needs some authority to be a sure you have a right to speak um you know you have the enjoyment of Rights and Freedoms of citizens but I'm just quoting the Constitution not to the detriment of the interests of societ or the state so if you saw something you know like kaj Kaji whatever her name Jackson Brown Jackson could whatever her name is I love her and she is right when the state has an interest cuz the state knows best then we have to you know restrain people from saying things so let me just let me just quote article 3 9 enjoyment of the rights and freedoms of citizens must not be to the detriment of the interests of society or the state amen that's what she's saying I mean they've been saying this since 1936 in the Soviet Union article 59 oblig citizens to obey all the laws and comply with the standards of the socialist society as determined by the party so if the party said you know let's just say we can mutilate your children you can speak out about that uh I mean you're going to have to go to jail for it cuz it'll be a hate crime in fact hate crimes were even mentioned specifically in that night they were so far ahead they were just they were just way way way way way way way ahead um because they were already on those hate crimes you know you don't have a you don't have a right to say you know you for instance here it is quote uh the Constitution prohibits incitement of hatred or hostility on any religious ground so you couldn't just you know say to the Bible the Bible says this if it incited hatred so and the Constitution you know gave you you have a freedom of conscience you can do that you can profess or not profess any religion uh and um and and you can conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda as long and I'm quoting as long as it's in the interest of the state you see because they know better they know better so katangi I just I'm trying to help you because you asked for help yesterday um which I find just so refreshing that a talk show host that's a recovering alcoholic and former DJ who is just completely self-educated you know knows this stuff better than a Supreme Court Justice but I think that's great that you you know you're humble enough to say I don't know my ass from my elbow um I think that's great I really I really do I really do so let's just remember the government you know we have inalienable rights what do that what does that mean I don't know something about aliens from space maybe katangi no means no man can change those rights alter those rights or take away that's what an alienable means um and in the Soviet Union they didn't have that okay they didn't have in alienable rights you as a citizen can and I'm quoting enjoy rights when the exercise of these rights do not interfere with the interests of the state and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union they alone have the power and authority to determine policies for the government and Society what a Utopia that is man if we could just if we could just model our constitution on something as open-minded as this we'd certainly be fixed kind of in the way my dog was fixed but we'd be fixed all right
