Hyper-partisan screwballs do not get to nullify the verdict of the majority of U.S. Senators that reflects the public's approval.
The raving dung flingers calculated that “pedophile sympathizer!” would be a suitably-hyperbolic self-promotion meme for the Supreme Court audition of Judge Brown Jackson, but they only succeeded in befouling themselves from the perspective of reasonable conservatives well-acquainted with the matter.
I urge anyone interested in the reality to read in its entirety the article by this conservative National Review writer, tough-on crime Andrew McCarthy, from which the following excerpts derive. The hyper-partisan pissants, contemptuous of the truth, will be passionately averse to self-enlightenment. of course.
I want to discuss the claim by Senator Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) that Judge Jackson is appallingly soft on child-pornography offenders. The allegation appears meritless to the point of demagoguery.
Senator Hawley is a bright guy, but if he ever handled a child-pornography case in the brief time he spent as a practicing lawyer before he sought public office, that is not apparent. Nor does it appear, from the admittedly sparse research that I’ve done, that child pornography was a priority of the Missouri Attorney General’s Office during Hawley’s two-year stint as AG
Contrary to Hawley’s suggestion, however, she appears to have followed the guidelines, at the low end of the sentencing range, as most judges do.) But other than the fact that Congress wanted to look as though it was being tough on porn, there’s no good reason for the mandatory minimum in question — and it’s unjust in many instances…
There are strong philosophical arguments for opposing Judge Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court. And she may in fact be too solicitous of criminals. But the implication that she 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.
He distorts her record on ‘sex offenders.’
