On Tuesday, Ted Cruz got his first crack at questioning Biden Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the Texas Senator did not hold back one bit.
Cruz, who attended Harvard Law School at the same time as Jackson, used his legal expertise to grill his former classmate over her extraordinarily lenient sentencing record when it comes to sexual predators – especially ones who possess child porn.
Following up on Sen. Josh Hawley’s opening remarks yesterday, in which he laid out Jackson’s troubling history with these types of offenders, Cruz broke down each of the ten cases involving child pornography that Jackson presided over and showed exactly how much time she shaved off their recommended punishments.
In every child pornography case – 10/10 – Jackson gave the mandatory minimum sentence that was allowed by law, and/or drastically reduced their jail time far below the prosecution’s recommendation.
And, as Cruz points out, that’s while she served in the Washington DC District Court, which has prosecutors who are substantially more ‘liberal’ than most areas in the country.
Yet, somehow, Jackson inexplicably reduced jail time for these crimes by an average of nearly half (47%) “100% of the time,” according to Cruz.
Take a look:
After laying his argument out as clearly as possible, Cruz asked Jackson point-blank if her record in these types of cases is doing enough to protect the children who are being exploited.
“Do you believe the voice of the children is heard when 100% of the time you’re sentencing those in possession of child pornography to far below what the prosecutor’s asking for?” Cruz asks.
Jackson’s response just speaks to how truly radical she is.
Watch:
Biden’s SCOTUS pick has had a hell of a day on Capitol Hill. In the past few hours, she has defended her advocacy for Islamist terrorists who killed Americans, baselessly justified her lenient punishment of pedos – more than once – and exposed her radicalism repeatedly throughout.
And, we are only on day one of questioning. This is going to be a long week.
Jackson is the most radical pick in history for the high court. It could not be worse.
Is there another judge out there with a worse record than this woman?
