'In the world of law, credentials don’t get better than hers.'

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is stooping even lower. He criticizes an article she wrote as a law student and has said that when she was a federal judge there were seven child pornography cases where she gave a sentence less than the Department of Justice recommended. But as the White House has pointed out, in five of those cases, Judge Jackson imposed the sentences that were the same as or greater than what the United States probation office recommended.

Hawley criticizes statements she made when she was a member of the United States Sentencing Commission but omits that the commission was bipartisan and voted unanimously to modify the recommended sentences for possession of child pornography, where there was no proof that the person was involved in producing or trafficking child pornography.

Booker: 'This Is Not a Normal Day for America'Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.), one of just three Black senators, said he was joyous over Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's historic nomination. 'This is not a normal day for America, we have never had this day before,' Mr. he said. Why not a Muslim woman? I had the same feeling about Clarence Thomas.

GOP: Dems ‘hiding’ documents on Ketanji Brown Jackson before hearingThe top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee complained Monday that Democrats are withholding documents related to the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about JulieCrypto__ it has been a pleasure collaborating with you...there is no other way I can show my appreciation other than tweeting the good deed you have done. That took less time than I thought for Republicans to start their racist bullshit...she's more qualified than all the current Republican-leaning ass-clowns seated on the supreme court...combined! 😤 You do know that the WH withheld 100,000 pages of Kavanaugh documents from his time as lawyer in George W. Bush's administration? Also Kavanaugh repeatedly refused to call for an FBI investigation of sexual assault allegations against him.

Op-Ed: The sickening Republican smear campaign against Ketanji Brown JacksonOp-Ed: Her credentials and qualifications to join the Supreme Court are beyond dispute. Yet the GOP is attacking Jackson, a Black woman, because she is a Biden nominee. I guarantee you whatever scrutiny Jackson is put under by Republicans, it will be based on the merits. It won’t become vicious and hostile like the Democrats are notorious for being towards nominees. My next door neighbor in Los Angeles and best friend is crying about his family and freinds who wee just killed.
