ICHEOKU says she was a sure beneficiary of an impending electoral defeat of the Democratic Party in the forthcoming November 2022 midterm elections. They had to quickly process her through to the Supreme Court now when they still enjoy their paper-thin majority in the Senate before November comes and a most likely new majority Republican Senate does a "Merrick Garland" on her, frustrates her from securing the lifetime job at the highest court in the land by not giving her even a hearing opportunity.
First, they had to lean heavily on age-implicated Justice Stephen Breyer to give up his seat so that they could fill it with another but much younger Democratic Party's operative in a black robe. As a good party man he took one on the chin for leftism and did exactly as was demanded of him. He announced his retirement, with a caveat that he will serve out his current term, thus paving the way for the quick nomination and confirmation hearing process of his successor.
Assured of the confirmation, provided the radical left wing of the party supports the candidate, the administration had to field a candidate that had the most backing of the leftists to avoid splitting the Senate Democrats votes or even entirely frustrating her confirmation. Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson won the leftists' approval and is today the confirmed successor to retiring Stephen Breyer's seat at the Supreme Court; otherwise Judge Michelle Childs was the preferred choice of many people.
Anyway, the matter is now moot as Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is the new associate Justice designate of the Supreme Court. Her 53-47 bipartisan votes for the vacant seat was also a very good thing as she anchored her seat at the Supreme Court with support from both political parties. The Judge has a good set of teeth and a smile that is also riveting. ICHEOKU says congratulations to her Honor and wishes her the best throughout her tenure at the apex judicial temple in the land.

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
