Ketanji brown Jackson should have all Democrats vote in her favor, even though all Republicans vote against. One has to wonder how she is answering moderate Democrats, since the Republicans have raised many concerns which might concern them. I don’t know who is advising her, but I don’t think they’re doing a good job at it. They seem to have told her: when you get to a controversial answer say, “I don’t know.” But, some of the things she’s saying “I don’t know” to are things that are important to know, if she is to be a Supreme Court justice.
We previously wrote about the fact that she wouldn’t define what a women was. She said she didn’t know, and she wasn’t a biologist. So, how is she going to defend women’s rights, if she can’t define a woman?
The question she was asked regarding the beginning of her own life, was: said she didn’t know.Then she asked: When does equal protection begin for someone? And again, she said she didn’t know. If she doesn’t know when that attaches, how can she ensure it for Americans?
She pushed Wednesday’s position that the sentences for child porn offenders needed to change because they were built on old laws. Now, with the internet, people can share more photos. She was bemoaning the fact that such a person could get “30, 40, 50 years” under the federal sentencing guidelines.
Judge Jackson: “In comes the internet…with one click you can receive, you can distribute tens of thousands. It’s possible to do this in 15 minutes. In a matter of seconds, your options are open for you to receive 30, 40, or 50 years imprisonment.

Sen. Lindsey Graham finished off her consternation with a one-word answer I suspect a lot of Americans might have, “Good.”

That’s the problem with her responses here – doesn’t she know how she’s coming across with stuff like this? It’s reinforcing the point that the GOP was raising about being soft on crime, and it’s also, additionally feeding the perception that she’s an activist — because it isn’t her job as a judge to change the sentencing guidelines by fiat. That’s the role of Congress, not the court. She shouldn’t be legislating from the bench.
Here’s Graham with the final word on it — the best thing is to “put their ass in jail.”

Jackson also excited a lot of comments when she spoke about a case that she had involving the “African Hebrew Israelites,” whom she categorized as a vegan cultural group, concerned about “healthy living.”

I’m thinking that healthy living is not the first thing that people think of when they think of African Hebrew Israelites or Black Hebrew Israelites. It is essential to recognize the differences between factions. One faction she is speaking of has vegan restaurants throughout D.C. She also fled to Israel.
Even the liberal SPLC had called out certain extremist factions in the past. Jackson’s reference to the SPLC is a bit odd and raises questions about her intentions.
When it comes to Republicans, the nominee seems to be quickly making her own gravy. The question is if she’s also losing some of the Democratic moderates now, as well.
