Congressional Hearings on Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination.

 Hmm.  She doesn’t believe that child pornography should be a crime, or at least not a crime with such heavy jail terms, even though the congressionally passed law is pretty clear on this subject.  She has been giving very mild sentences in child pornography cases, which looks like “living constitution” thinking and legislating from the bench rather than enforcing existing law.  That’s a down check in my book.

   That bit where she was asked to define “woman” and replied that she was not a biologist and did not know the definition did not sit well.  That sounds like pure quibbling, lawyer style, to me.  Every English speaker knows “women” (and “men” for that matter). 

   She was on the board of a tony DC private school that is teaching Critical Race Theory to the students. She claimed not to know what Critical Race Theory is. 

   I am not sure we need someone of Judge Jackson’s thinking on the Supreme Court.
