On day two of hearings, Republicans accuse Ketanji Brown Jackson of being weak on crime

of Supreme Court confirmation hearings lasted more than 12 hours. But over the course of the marathon session, a central theme emerged: Republicans accused the D.C. Circuit Court judge of being weak on crime.

Democrats control the 50-50 Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking a tie. If they stick together, they could confirm Jackson to be thewithout any Republican votes. Since Republicans have little recourse to stop Jackson’s confirmation, NYU law professor Melissa Murray says that she views the “soft on crime” attacks through a political lens.

A Democratic Senate Judiciary aide tells TIME that Democrats had anticipated these types of attacks, and Democratic Senators were prepared to tee up questions that would give Jackson an opportunity to respond to the accusations. Numerous Democratic Senators cited her endorsements from the National Fraternal Order of Police and the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

Earlier in the day, Jackson noted that the sentencing guidelines for child pornography offenders, which are based on the volume an offender possesses, were written before the internet. “The way that the guideline is now structured, it’s leading to extreme disparities in the system. Because it’s so easy for people to get volumes of this kind of material now,” Jackson said.

colette3652 That white collar shit sure needs to be tightened up on.....

These attacks have ZERO to do with her experience or expertise!! She is overqualified! Fact is President Biden picked her and she is a strong intelligent ethical black woman! Full stop!!

If she is not handing out death penalties, then she is soft on crime!

Unfortunately for her,Judge Jacksons record speaks for itself. But as usual TIME instead of Inquiring on the Judges Record and reporting it accurately. TIME has tried to mislead and Divert the Conversation. Madeleine Carlisle fits right in with TIME, Misleading Reporting

At least she seems not to be a criminal herself as in the other country.

What a disappointing headline. Like it was written by an 11 year old raised by MAGA parents.

They will find something anything to try and discredit her
