Conservatives Furious that Ketanji Brown Jackson Got Vogue Photo Shoot…and Amy Coney Barrett Didn’t

By

One would think that the first black woman justice on the SCOTUS would be allowed the privilege of having another first, the first SCOTUS Vogue shoot. After all, Vogue spared no expense in having famed photographer Annie Leibowitz shoot the new justice at the Lincoln Memorial for the September issue:

“Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation speaks to a deep-seated American desire to believe that we can transcend our past,” Vogue captioned its post when it shared the pictures on Tuesday. 

And while some people called the photographs “powerful” and “inspirational,” others were seemingly unhappy at the attention paid to the liberal justice.

“Hey Vogue, are we going to see Justice Barrett in the next month’s issue? Or did I happen to miss the issue you did with her?” One user posted on Twitter.

At what point is the Right going to figure out that there is no rule requiring Vogue to offer equal space or time to conservative MAGAs, particularly MAGA justices that speak at political events and yank women’s rights to bodily autonomy? Someone should tell them that if the MAGAs continue to take away fundamental rights, voting rights, and election rights (like the “right guy” winning?), they can forget any MAGA appearing on the cover of Vogue, Sports Illustrated, The New England Journal of Medicine, or Cat Fancy. No matter how undeniably pretty Justice Amy Coney-Barrett may be, one cannot separate the ugly consequences of her rulings.

So complain they did, the MAGAs’ grievance tour continues apace, luxuriating in one of their favorite habitats, one of wallowing self-pity and victimization, just like the “King himself.”

First, here are some of the photos of Brown Jackson, which weren’t the best, and most liberals had issues with them:

Regardless, MAGAts were unhappy nonetheless:
