As PJM’s Matt Margolis noted Thursday, “During her confirmation hearings,
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s despicable record on sentencing child porn
offenders became a key issue. Republicans pointed out that she had a pattern of
giving these perverts lenient sentences, while Democrats made excuses for her
and kept gushing over her status as a black woman.” And it’s even worse than we
thought: investigative journalist Paul Sperry revealed Saturday that Jackson “heard horrifying
details of ‘sadomasochistic’ torture of young kids — including ‘infants and
toddlers’ — yet challenged the disturbing evidence presented by prosecutors and
disregarded their prison recommendations to give the lightest possible
punishments in each case.”
Not only that but “in some cases, she even apologized to
some of the kiddie-porn perverts for having to follow the statutes, which she
called ‘substantially flawed.’” Jackson repeatedly “made excuses for the sex
fiends’ criminal behavior and cut them slack in defiance of investigators and
prosecutors — and sometimes even probation officers serving her court — who
argued for tougher sentences because the cases were particularly egregious or
the defendants weren’t remorseful.” This contradicts Biden’s handlers’ claims
that her light sentences for child pornographers were “mainstream” and within
“normal range.”
The details are stomach-churning. “In July 2020,” Sperry
reports, “Jackson gave the bare minimum sentence to a defendant convicted of
distributing images and videos of infants being sexually abused, and who had
boasted of molesting his 13-year-old cousin, even though she knew the defendant
refused ‘to take full responsibility’ for his crimes, a transcript reveals.”
The offender whom Jackson ensured got off lightly had posted a nude image of a
two-year-old girl and a video of sex with a prepubescent girl.
Nor was that an isolated case. In April 2021, when
sentencing a man who had distributed child pornography, Jackson dismissed his
crimes as not “especially egregious,” despite the fact that “among the more
than 600 images prosecutors told the judge he traded were sexually explicit
pics depicting bondage of infants and toddlers,” and even worse. Yet as she
gave this man a light sentence, Jackson remarked: “I’m really reluctant to get
into the nature of the porn. I don’t find persuasive the government’s arguments
concerning why they think that this is a particularly egregious child
pornography offense, which means I struggled to find a good reason to impose a
sentence that is more severe in this case.”
Mike Davis of the Article III Project, which advocates
for a responsible judiciary, said that Jackson “served as the tip of the spear
in weakening federal sentencing policy for child pornographers as vice chair of
the U.S. Sentencing Commission, where she ignored the advice of expert
witnesses who disputed her theory that child pornographers are somehow not
pedophiles.”
Jackson even apologized to one child pornographer as she
sentenced him, saying: “This is a truly difficult situation. I appreciate that
your family is in the audience. I feel so sorry for them and for you and for
the anguish that this has caused all of you.” This was a habit: to another, she
said: “I also feel terrible about the collateral consequences of this
conviction,” adding that “sex offenders are truly shunned in our society, but I
have no control over the collateral consequences.”
As revolting as all this is, it doesn’t look as if it’s
going to derail Jackson’s confirmation. Controlled opposition Republican
Senator Susan Collins (R-Sellout) has already announced that she is going to vote for Jackson, and
can Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, and others be far behind? While the Democrats
never, ever break ranks, they can always count on Republicans to do so and to
help them further the Leftist agenda.
And that’s what Ketanji Brown Jackson is all about. She
is not being put on the Supreme Court because of her qualifications. She is not
even really being put on the Supreme Court because she is a black woman,
although that’s why Old Joe Biden’s handlers chose her. She is being put on the
Supreme Court because she will advance the Leftist agenda. She was lenient
toward child pornographers, but there is no doubt whatsoever that she will be
as tough as she possibly can be on one set of offenders: Jan. 6 “insurrectionists,”
parents protesting at school boards against transgenderism and Critical Race
Theory being taught in public schools, and the like. That’s why Ketanji Brown
Jackson is being put on the Supreme Court. Once she is confirmed, as soon as a
“right-wing” case comes before the Court, the world will see a new, tough,
justice-must-be-done Ketanji Brown Jackson. Leniency? That’s for Leftists.
