An ironic state of affairs

Apr 10, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Yesterday, in this paper GHK Lall under the headline: “Judge Jackson should have been spared the ordeal that overtook the U.S. Senate,” wrote that Judge Jackson was treated horribly by Senate Republicans in her confirmation.
In his haste to impugn the integrity of the Republican Party, Mr. Lall failed to mention the inherent fallacy of Judge Jackson’s nomination. It was perpetuated by the Democratic Party. Blacks who have always demanded equity, seem to have already achieved that in the U.S Supreme Court. At about 12% of the U.S population and already having one black member on the court, they have already secured their proportional representation.
Judge Jackson’s selection represented the most shameful episode of institutional racism in recent memory in the United States.
There are literally thousands of eminently qualified lawyers of Indian, Chinese, Pilipino, Vietnamese etc descent. Their selection would have been much more momentous and historical. Specifically, lawyers like Neal Katyal and Judge Sri Srinivasan were much more qualified than Judge Jackson.
It always seems ironic that the people who are demanding fairness and justice are the ones who are usually guilty of violating these very sacred tenets themselves.

Respectfully submitted,
Chitrakha Persaud
