Question on Ketanji Brown Jackson's LSAT Score Speaks for Itself
Tucker Carlson's hateful inquiry requires little comment from this editorial board. Its pure insidiousness speaks for itself and condemns the speaker.

Fox News Host Tucker Carlson was recently quoted as asking for the release of the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT) scores of President Biden's Supreme Court judicial nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. He inquired, "So is Ketanji Brown Jackson, a name that even Joe Biden has trouble pronouncing, one of the top legal minds in the entire country? We certainly hope so, it's Biden's right, appointing her is his one of his gravest constitutional duties. So it might be time for Joe Biden to let us know what Ketanji Brown Jackson's LSAT score was. Wonder how she did on the LSATs, why won't he tell us that?" Tucker Carlson had never asked for the LSAT scores of any prior candidate, including Amy Coney Barrett, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Neil M. Gorsuch.
Judge Jackson graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University and cum laude from Harvard Law School where she served as a supervising editor for the Harvard Law Review. She clerked for three judges, including Justice Stephen G. Breyer. She served 15 years as a public defender and eight years as a trial court judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Last year President Biden nominated her to be a United States circuit judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and she was confirmed by a vote of 53-44.
