Some customary flip flopping:
Senator Graham voted to confirm Judge Jackson to the D.C. Circuit (knowing that she would be a front-runner if a seat opened on #SCOTUS during the Biden Administration) exactly 257 *days* ago:https://t.co/32QAfvNter

This nomination is American history, and a dope moment in Black history. Time to update the patron saint list of names we empower kids with each February, each April, each day: Shirley Chisholm, Madam C.J. Walker, Phillis Wheatley, Bayard Rustin, Cousin Pookie, Marsha P. Johnson, Martin Luther King Jr. (the real one), Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the children we recount these prayers to.
Looking forward to those dissenting opinions, Your Honor!
