On the Saturday edition of Today on NBC, political contributor and PBS Washington Week host Yamiche Alcindor reacted to the news of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court with excitement that Democratic activists will have another voice on the Court, but lamented that her ability to actually bring change is limited.

CNN senior legal analyst Laura Coates joined CNN Newsroom on Friday to react to the official announcement of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court. According to Coates, Jackson is almost a goddess-type figure who has descended from Mount Olympus and that she only hopes she will be afforded due process before the Senate.

On Friday’s CNN Newsroom, White House correspondent John Harwood said that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s opposition to President Biden’s nomination of Ketanji Brown to the Supreme Court Jackson on the grounds she is going to be a reliable liberal is not a substantive criticism.

The liberal media were all hands on deck Friday to defend President Biden’s new Super Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson from any criticism whatsoever. That was certainly the case during The View when ABC co-host Sunny Hostin claimed that criticism was actually “attacks” and, since they come from the right, they were “based on race, not on qualifications.”

CNN senior political correspondent Abby Phillip could hardly contain her excitement on Friday's New Day, when the news broke that President Biden has nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. Phillip hailed the nomination as one that could help address “the unfairness in the system” that exists for minority defendants.

In an attempt to help himself get elected, President Biden engaged in identity politics by promising to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court. Despite that fact, for CNN senior political correspondent Abby Phillip and New Day host Brianna Keilar on Wednesday, it was actually Republicans engaging in identity politics for pointing it out.

On his Tuesday night show, left-wing CNN anchor Don Lemon wondered what is really behind Republican criticism of President Biden's pledge to only consider black women for his upcoming Supreme Court appointee. According to network contributor Kirsten Powers, the absurd answer is that Republicans are of the attitude that the Supreme Court exists for white men only.

After spending mere seconds addressing co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s two-week suspension from The View, the coven tried to divert attention from their bad behavior by trying to cook up some against conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and the conservative Federalist Society; baselessly suggesting they were engaged in a “quid-pro-quo” and breaking federal tax laws governing the…

On Tuesday's At This Hour, CNN senior political correspondent Abby Phillip told host Kate Bolduan on Tuesday that the reason some Republicans "are willing to villainize" the idea of a black woman Supreme Court justice is because that is what fires up the party's base.

On her 9:00 a.m. ET hour show Tuesday morning, MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle was in full panic mode over President Biden delaying his nomination of a Supreme Court pick by even a day to conduct a bipartisan meeting with senators about the judicial appointment. Her partisan paranoia was on display as she fretted that Democrats were somehow “going to get played” by Republicans.

Appearing on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Co. Monday morning, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell slammed President Biden’s Supreme Court nominating process being dictated by “the power of the radical, militant, and in some cases Marxist left.” On another topic, he warned that “the woke, radical left wants to make you rethink your belief system.”

You knew MSNBC's Cross Connection host Tiffany Cross would have MSNBC regular, Nation correspondent, and bombastic provocateur Elie Mystal on Saturday to discuss the open Supreme Court seat and sure enough, Mystal delivered, insisting that, whomever President Biden selects will be "immensely" and "immaculately qualified," Republicans don't believe in placing non-white, non-…

On Friday, MSNBC eagerly touted how one of its own, left-wing legal analyst and NYU Law Professor Melissa Murray, was reportedly on President Biden’s short list for the Supreme Court. Interviewing Murray on his 11:00 a.m. ET hour show, anchor Craig Melvin tried to pump her for any information about being contacted by the White House.

While hosting the scary sounding Democracy in Peril on CNN on Thursday, Jim Acosta blasted the "hard-right" Supreme Court for possibly overturning Roe v. Wade, which would increase democracy in the country, lamented that Democrats won't get rid of the filibuster in response to this, and decried their "life's a Mitch" attitude towards the situation.
