Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, President Biden’s nominee to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the U.S. Supreme Court, has attracted immense controversy in her Senate confirmation hearings. Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is poised to vote on Jackson on April 4, have verbalized concern about her record of doling out weak sentences for users of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Jackson may not be able to define what a woman is, or answer when life begins despite advocating for abortion, but she surely must know that allowing pedophiles to prematurely walk free is wrong — right?
Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) honed in on Jackson’s sentencing in multiple CSAM cases over the course of her career. In the 2013 case of United States v. Hawkins, Jackson sentenced an 18-year-old abuser to only three months in prison despite the federal guideline recommending a minimum of 97 months. Jackson claimed that her soft sentencing was based on Hawkins’ age, reasoning that the little boys in his CSAM were “essentially [his] peers.” Hawkins went on to display his pedophilic tendencies years later, proving that his short sentence had done nothing to deter or reform his behavior.
Arizona Representative Andy Biggs (R) joined FRC’s Tony Perkins on “Washington Watch” to discuss concerns about Jackson. Biggs explained, “What I must emphasize is that these were sexual molestation of children pictures… Some of them included torture… some of them included violence. And the reality is, those children were victims. And these viewers [of CSAM] were given basically a real break every time by this judge.”
I’ll be paying special attention to the “RINOs” that vote for her.
A vote for her is a vote to destroy Democracy. She contradicted her own statements during her questioning. She is against the POLICE, 2nd AMENDMENT, judicial philosophy, against prison time for criminals and must I go on? She believes her methodology over rules law and the CONSYITUTION. She is for open borders, defund the POLICE, open borders, illegal invasion of the US by illegals, criminals should walk free and not punished and must I go on.
She is an ACTIVIST JUDGE. The exact thing DEMONCRATS criticize and were constantly fighting against putting an activist on the SC. Now they praise an activist JUDGE of Democrat origin. Already have two on the SC with KAGAN and SOTOMAYOR, both DEMOCRAT liberals.
I would like to see a recorded vote on her. I have already let it be known that if she is confirmed this INDEPENDENT voter will vote a REPUBLICAN ticket.
Me too! She is an uber-liberal who is soft on child sex crimes, the worst kind of crimes there are. We sure as hell don;t need or want her to be a sitting justice on the supreme court or any other court, for that matter. When she was on the district and circuit court, she showed how lenient she was with child sex criminals.
