The Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson returns for another day of hearings as Republicans try to paint her as soft on crime and Democrats herald the historic nature of her nomination.
Picking up on a thread started by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and amplified by the Republican National Committee in fundraising emails, Cruz questioned Jackson on her sentences for child pornographers, at one point bringing out a large poster board and circling sentences he said he found egregious.
“A judge is not playing a numbers game,” she said. “A judge is looking at all of these different factors.” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, asked Supreme Court nominee Judge Kentaji Brown Jackson about books that are taught at a school where the judge sits on the board. “Senator, I have not reviewed any of those books, any of those ideas,” Brown Jackson replied.
Asked about abortion, Jackson readily agreed with comments that conservative Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh made about two landmark cases when they were up for confirmation. “Roe and Casey are the settled law of the Supreme Court concerning the right to terminate a woman’s pregnancy. They have established a framework that the court has reaffirmed,” Jackson said.
