Multiple
analyses of Jackson’s record have concluded that Hawley’s
criticism of her was misleading. And former federal prosecutor McCarthy called the Missouri senator’s
allegation against Jackson “meritless to the point of demagoguery.”
While opposing Jackson’s nomination, McCarthy wrote that “the implication that [Jackson] has a soft spot for ‘sex offenders’ who ‘prey on children’ because she argued against a severe mandatory-minimum prison sentence for the receipt and distribution of pornographic images is a smear.”
The Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat opened the hearings for Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson on Monday by brushing away attacks from Republicans who claimed she had been too lenient on “child porn offenders.”
