Jasmine Crockett: A Silence That Roared
It was supposed to be a quiet session, a procedural hearing with no drama, no controversy. The kind of meeting where the machinery of government moves without incident, where rules and norms are observed, and the public’s attention drifts elsewhere. The subject was mundane, a simple discussion on how civil cases are processed through the Supreme Court’s intake system. Jasmine Crockett sat in the second row, invited not to speak but to observe. Calm, composed, a silent guest among the robes, suits, and institutional tradition of the courtroom.
But what followed would reverberate across the nation.
Scott S. Harris, the Clerk of the United States Supreme Court, leaned into the microphone. His voice was casual, almost dismissive as he said, “We don’t need input from that.”
The word “that” hung in the air, sharp and disorienting. It wasn’t just the word itself—it was the way it was spoken, the disdain in his tone. Not “Congresswoman,” not “Observer,” not even “Miss Crockett”—just “that.” The room fell into silence, but it wasn’t the kind of silence that follows shock or a gasp. It was the kind of silence that settles over something heavy, the kind that presides over truth about to be unveiled.
And Jasmine Crockett, in the face of this subtle, institutional slight, did not flinch. She did not react. Instead, she sat still, composed, and reached into her bag. Slowly, deliberately, she placed a thick folder on the table in front of her and opened her laptop. The room remained frozen in this strange, breathless anticipation. Jasmine wasn’t just sitting there to answer Harris’ insult—she was there to do something much bigger.
What Jasmine had brought wasn’t a sharp retort or an emotional outburst. What she brought was a countdown—a measured, inevitable release of facts that would challenge the very system she was observing. She had come prepared to unveil a pattern, a process that had long been broken, a system that routinely discriminated against those who were already at a disadvantage. The folder on the table wasn’t just a prop—it was a mirror held up to the highest echelons of power, one that would reveal a truth no one was prepared to confront.
As the minutes stretched, Jasmine’s actions spoke louder than words ever could. She flipped open her laptop and slid a thick binder beside it, color-coded and meticulously tabbed. The label on the front read: “Deferred Civil Rights Filings: 5 Years.” The room stiffened as the first slide of data appeared behind her—no fanfare, no introduction. Just one simple line of data: Average time to review civil rights petitions by demographic group.
The bars on the graph weren’t subtle. They were glaring.
White plaintiffs had an average of 18 days for their cases to be reviewed. Black women, however, faced an average of 53 days. The difference was undeniable. The room, once filled with the hum of murmured conversation, now felt thick with tension. Even the court stenographer, whose job was to record every word spoken, looked up from her notes, sensing the weight of the moment.
Jasmine didn’t speak. She simply clicked to the next slide.
The next chart showed the number of civil filings tagged for manual review by ethnicity. And again, the disparities were glaring. Civil rights cases submitted by people of color—particularly Black women—were far more likely to be tagged for what the slides ominously labeled “technical hold.”
There was no official definition for this term, but Jasmine’s evidence spoke for itself. This wasn’t a system error; these were deliberate human decisions made behind the scenes. She clicked forward, revealing slide after slide, name after name, case after case. Each one marked by delay, by neglect, by discriminatory decisions buried in the procedural language of the court system.
She didn’t speak; she simply let the data speak for her. As the slides continued to click forward, it became clear: Jasmine wasn’t here to make a case. She was here to unseal one.
And the evidence was damning. It was systemic bias. It was institutional delay. It was the brokenness of a system that claims to serve all, but consistently fails those most in need.
As the final slide flashed on the screen—a printout from the Supreme Court’s own internal queue listing civil rights petitions filed by Black women, all marked for delay or manual review—Jasmine calmly asked, “If this isn’t systemic bias, then what exactly is it?”
The room fell silent again. This time, it was not because of the weight of her words, but because there was no answer. How could there be? The facts, laid out in black and white, left no room for explanation.
Jasmine’s binder didn’t just contain data—it contained truth. And truth, as it often does, is a powerful weapon.
She looked up, making brief but deliberate eye contact with Scott S. Harris. And then she asked him one final question: “Over the past five years, how many civil rights petitions submitted by non-white plaintiffs did you approve for proper review?”
The question hung in the air, unanswered, as the next slide appeared.
Zero. Not a single one. Not a single case involving a civil rights petition filed by a non-white plaintiff had been properly reviewed in the past five years. Not one. Not one case made it to the docket. And Jasmine had the evidence to prove it.
The room, once charged with anticipation, now sat still. Silence wasn’t just an absence of sound—it was the weight of realization. This wasn’t a statistical anomaly. It wasn’t a coincidence. This was a deliberate, systemic failure that had been allowed to persist for years.
But Jasmine didn’t stop there. She pressed one final key on her laptop, and the last slide filled the screen. This wasn’t a chart, or a graph, or a set of numbers. It was a list.
147 names, each a person whose case had been ignored. Each one marked with “technical hold,” “manual review,” or “never reviewed.” Each one filed by a person of color. Each one tied to a civil rights issue—housing discrimination, voting access, police misconduct—and each one ignored.
The silence in the room wasn’t just an absence of sound. It was the absence of answers.
Jasmine stood, collected her things, and quietly walked out of the courtroom. No cameras followed her. No dramatic soundbite echoed behind her footsteps. She didn’t demand retribution. She didn’t shout. She didn’t need to. The system had already been exposed, and it was too late to deny what had been revealed.
Jasmine Crockett had come to show the world what the system was. She had come to ask the question that no one had been brave enough to ask before: Who else is being ignored?
She didn’t need to scream for justice. She didn’t need to demand change. All she needed to do was show the facts. And the truth, like a light, could no longer be ignored.
It wasn’t the word “that” that changed everything. It was what came after it.
