The GOP's big beef against Ketanji Brown Jackson is that she's NOT an activist judge

[Hang on Sloopy]

And the girl was 8

Do you want someone on the SC that can't define what a woman is?

She is clearly mentally ill...................And if she was a white bitch this post would be the same

The woman follows the sentencing rules that Congress makes, even for crimes as terrible as child pornography. But that's bad according to the Republicans in the Senate Judiciary committee.

Is Jackson so damn perfect that this is the best the opposition could come up with?

Yet she's been overturned by her own appellate court for inventing law. Go freaking figure. Isn't that the very definition of an activist judge.

She thinks the court can make law. That alone disqualifies her

No one is "very sympathetic to pedos".

Or to those in the judiciary that give them lighter sentences.

 

[DGS49]

Her response to this particular line of questioning has been disingenuous. She exercised discretion that went beyond both the sentencing guidelines and the prosecutor's recommendation. She COULD HAVE stated that she saw the defendant, watched all the testimony, and simply made what she considered the best possible sentence, all things considered. Maybe she didn't want to destroy the life of an 18-year-old whose crime harmed no one, except by strained inference.

As I have stated elsewhere on this Board, the "cool" thing about these hearings is that KBJ feels compelled to articulate a judicial philosophy that would make the late Justice Scalia proud, because if she were honest and candid her nomination would be almost universally scorned.

The RIGHT has won the debate for the hearts and minds of the American people: NOBODY wants another activist justice who ignores the law and the Constitution when they conflict with their personal political preferences.

It figures that a bimbo whore just cant get the story straight.

It is your opinion that maximum sentences should always be imposed in all criminal cases regardless of the circumstances? No one seems to know much about the case in question. Maybe she thought being a lifetime pariah on the sex offender list counted as a penalty as well?

I don't do what-ifs but if I had my way pedos pimping porn pics of small children would be publicly hung on my order but since that's not happening I'd give them the max the law allows....No question about that as far as the cases in question goes.

 

[Rye Catcher]

No, that is not the claim.

The claim is that she does NOT follow those sentencing guidelines. The gripe was that the sentence of 3 months for the case when was questioned on most was WAY below the guidelines.

The thread title is false.

If the nominee had not followed the sentencing guidelines the prosecution had the opportunity to repeal the sentencing. Of course Judge Jackson never had the time before being interrupted by the rudest most obnoxious US Senators.

"A couple of observations: One is that your chart does not include all of the factors that Congress has told judges to consider, including the probation office’s recommendation in these cases," Jackson responded, prompting Cruz to say the committee did not have those recommendations available for review.

Jackson forcefully pushes back against GOP child porn sentencing attacks

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson opened the second day of her confirmation hearing Tuesday with a forceful defense of her record of sentencing child pornography offenders, pushing back against a recurri…

What does that have to do with the fact she was outside the sentencing guidelines and the OP claim that she was within those lines.

Show me anywhere that a 3 month sentence is within guidelines.

Again, irrelevant. It is not an if, the fact is guidelines were not followed. That is an objective fact.

Typical USMessageboard BS, make a claim and then run away from it with a bunch of side comments that have nothing to do with it.

 

[FA_Q2]

Yeah until I know the facts, I really dunno what to say. She said she gave the kid 3 months in federal prison. He was 18. That's really all I know, other than what Josh Hawley said -- which was the ages of the victims.

This.

There is not enough known to make this a problem with the nomination.

I will make a conjecture that more is not known specifically because it would not be a big issue if the details were outlined.

The fact is, she ignored sentencing guidelines, the prosecutor recommendations and apologized to the perp for giving him three months. But that's not a one off, she has ignored the prosecutors and guides 100% of the time when it came to child porn cases. I'm sure your commie news outlets have reported on this because they agree with her. You can be willfully ignorant if you chose, but stop foisting your ignorance on us.

You stupid SOB, prosecutors can't "repeal" anything a judge does.

The thread headline is beyond absurd. Nobody except liberals and Democrat Parody loyalists want justices to be activists.

She admitted she has a hidden agenda.

What are you talking about...she ignored the federal sentencing guidelines in all of her pedophile cases and gave the criminal a much reduced sentence.

She sentenced this individual to 3 months in prison when the recommended sensed was 3 years. That’s a bit of an issue considering the crime. This person had 600 pieces of child pornography in his possession.

The difference is, when the opposition is republicans, they actually look into what could affect the Supreme Court. Democrats on the other hand go to someone’s high school diary and try to find something.

.

as Ohio State law professor and sentencing policy expert Douglas Berman writes, “the federal sentencing guidelines for” child pornography offenders “are widely recognized as dysfunctional and unduly severe.”

also long before Biden nominated her, Ketanji has already undergone 3 separate senate confirmation hearing for previous positions.
