What We Learned During Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Supreme Court Confirmation Hearingswere marked by tense exchanges between Senators, the airing of grievances over confirmations past, and inflammatory descriptions of gruesome child porn cases that Jackson once ruled on.
in the coming months—before Jackson would take the bench—after hearing a major challenge to the decision this term inas being a “super precedent,” meaning a decision that American society had significantly relied upon for a long period of time. “All Supreme Court cases are precedential, they’re binding and their principles and their rulings have to be followed,” Jackson said. “, as you say, have been reaffirmed by the court and have been relied upon.
Jackson disagreed, telling Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa: “The philosophy is my methodology,” she said. “It is a philosophy that I have developed from practice.” In 2005, the Supreme Court weighed in on the issue, deciding that sentencing requirements for child porn cases were now advisory—meaning the sentence would be up to the discretion of the judge. Jackson said that she always strove to appropriately use her discretion as a judge in child porn cases to weigh guidelines established by Congress along with other factors. “The point of the guidelines is to assist judges in determining what punishment to provide in cases,” Jackson argued.
Here’s the difference…Kavenaugh had assault charges levied against him during his hearing, while Graham used that as some justification to assault Jackson during hers.
You railed against her. You going to vote for her?
Skyebright8 Embarrassing. That had nothing to do with Ketanji Brown Jackson. Disgraceful behaviour from Graham. Hard to put into words how abhorrent the behavior of many of the GOP senators was.
Would you call this a question to ask on a job interview? He is not qualified to speak!
Lindseybis such a theatrical Queen playing to his base and Fuhrer . We all get it Lindsey. I’ll send you some shoe polish for your Fuhers’ boots.
The petulance is off the charts here. When he's finally forced to shut his trap for more than 30 seconds he either glowers and twitches, shuffles papers and stares at nothing on the desk (just SO busy) or goes the full dramatic sigh and headshake. He's so immature it hurts.
Did Lady Graham get her feelings hurt 😢
Lindsay has crashed & burned from any Good on which he ever stood. He couldn’t control himself for THREE minutes while the Supreme Court nominee attempted to answer his ONE question, he interrupting her not once but twice & both times with this outrageous bellowing.
Why would South Carolina send this clown back to the Senate? Why?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🙄😒🏴🇨🇦🇺🇦
I Think Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Is Real Killers Of The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills
The same anti-Palestinian racist and supporter of Apartheid Israel illegal occupation making fool of himself.
It's sad when one holds on to anger....and let it go on an innocent human that had no ties to the event one is still mad about.... Wow are the men or boys...
No thank you
Lindsey, did someone come forward in Judge Jackson's hearing and accuse her of sexual harassment? I must have missed that part of the proceedings.
I can still hear Kavanaugh's shrill voice; his out of control behavior. Perfect for the Court!
When your party nominates Donald Trump for the presidency, you have absolutely no grounds for complaining about the treatment of Brett Kavanaugh by the Senate Judiciary committee - absolutely done, whatsoever. Lindsey's complaint is preposterous.
Intense questioning
Democrats have proven since Bork, THEY HAVE NO SHAME!!! LindseyGrahamSC
SPOT ON!!! Democrats have a Double Standard.
I wrote something to raise funds to fight an adversity. I wish this adversity were contained till me, but it's not, it's affecting my parents, my friends, my dreams. I got knocked into a different life, wishing my way back ever since. Check pinned tweet. Please RT. Anything helps
Stop giving this clown airtime
always the drama queen… LadyG
🥺
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Crazy QANON Josh Hawley strikes. Turns out many QANON are pedophiles & claim to go after pedophiles as a cover. Investigate Hawley as Jan 6th Insurrectionist, Soon to be Felon? Dble Std Hawley approved judges that fit profile he verbally lynched & raped Honorable Judge Jackson.
Graham, Cotton, Cruz, and Harley all tried to make Jackson cry. Only Cory Booker succeeded.
I think we've learned that Cruz, Cotton, Blackburn, Hawley, and Cornyn are PERFECTLY happy to play racists on TV.
She doesn't know what a woman is.
I remember back in 2016 when Hillary use the term deplorables .. (R)s had their panties in a twist. What has been proven true since 2016 especially in the last few days during the KBJ confirmation hearings, is that Hillary was being too damn nice ..
We’ve learned that republican men are terrified of women especially black women. He have zero intellect and so have made fools of themselves.
What we've learned is that because of her intelligence and skin color, republicans don't want her on the bench.
