Republican lawmakers are blasting Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for being too soft on charges involving pedophilia, such as child pornography. During Biden’s Supreme Court Justice nominee’s confirmation hearing on Wednesday afternoon, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina blasted Biden’s choice for being weak on punishing pedophiles with spreading child pornography.
Go ahead and watch the whole clip. Jackson is a radical progressive 'social reformer' and can't even understand why people might not want criminals pedophiles to be getting out of jail in only 3 months.

Angrily ranting about process instead of facing the issue https://t.co/GNlZIO29dP
Senator Graham chastised Jackson for earlier advocating that pedophiles be subjected to extensive supervision as a judge. Sen. Graham quickly retorted that they don’t require considerable supervision, but rather should be imprisoned.
Graham is entirely correct in advocating that anyone who distributes child pornography should be sentenced to prison rather than receiving a slap on the wrist. Child pornography should be punished with a life sentence since the pain that children experience after becoming victims lasts a lifetime, not just a few years.
Senators Graham and Hawley, in addition to Senator Graham, lambasted Jackson’s leniency on pedophilia charges.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) attacked Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s leniency toward sex offenders on Wednesday.

This makes ‘total sense’ according to Jackson pic.twitter.com/I1bMFDj2RO
In a lengthy thread, Hawley, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, argued that Jackson’s record as a policymaker and judge demonstrates a alarming trend of letting sex criminals off the hook. Reduced punishments for child pornographers are one example, as is the topic of whether sex offenders should be obliged to register with publicly available registries.
