    After unearthing her lenient prison sentences for child sex offenders, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley has moved from skepticism to hair-on-fire alarm about President Biden’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee.

    Ketanji Brown Jackson, a judge on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, is a former federal district judge. Hawley says her record in sentencing child sex and child porn offenders is nothing short of shocking.

    “I’m not aware of a single case in which she has given a child sex offender a tough sentence,” Hawley told The Heartlander Thursday. “In fact, in every case that I have found, that I have records for, she has given child sex offenders a sentence below what the federal guidelines recommend.”

    Hawley pointed to specific cases in a series of tweets. Here are a few:

    In U.S. v. Hawkins, a sex offender in possession of multiple images of child porn was facing a recommended sentence of up to 10 years in prison, but received only 3 months from Judge Jackson.
    In U.S. v. Stewart, a convicted criminal had “thousands of images of child porn and also hoped to travel across state lines to abuse a 9-year-old girl.” Federal sentencing guidelines called for 97-121 months, about 8 to 10 years, but the offender received 57 months from Jackson, or less than 5 years.
    In U.S. v. Chazin, involving 48 “files” of child porn, the guidelines recommended 78-97 months, but “Judge Jackson gave him 28.”
    In two other cases, guidelines called for sentences of 151-188 months and 70-87 months, but each defendant received 60 months. Hawley said that was the lowest sentence allowed by law.
    Hawley called them “token sentences” for child sex crimes.

    “To me, if you’ve committed an offense against a child – a child sex offense, or child porn, or something else – you ought to be given a tough sentence,” Hawley said. “ Period. And then you ought to be kept off the streets. I don’t want my kids around child sex offenders. And I’d like to know if there is a child sex offender who is living near the area, near my children or near their school. I suspect that most parents want to know that.

    “I want to understand why Judge Jackson wasn’t tough with child sex offenders. I don’t get that. I don’t get it at all. And I certainly don’t agree with it.”

    Moreover, Hawley told The Heartlander, during her time on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Jackson advocated for eliminating mandatory minimums for child sex offenders, and questioned whether sex offender registries are constitutional.

    Did the Biden administration not do its due diligence before nominating Jackson for a lifetime appointment? “It doesn’t look like it,” Hawley says. “They certainly don’t have any response. All they’ve done is call names and bluster and threaten. So far, no response from them on (Jackson’s) record, no response from them on her cases.

    We "light skinned" people have grown used to racism towards us, but I wonder how Asians, Latinas, Etc. Feel about Bidens racist pandering to blacks stating his only qualifications for supreme court is being black and female?

    So what's the fuss about?
    That the lady is a woman or she's black , or both…she is qualified.
    trump pushed through a rapist, a woman questionably qualified. ect.
    The point they were Trump loyalists.
    Republicans Have nothing to offer . They only want power and control. They don't care about Justice, the Truth , Democracy, the Constitution, Freedom of the press & Especially the Freedom of American people.
    They are taking our schools apart, banning Books, Changing History or not teaching it at all.
    They want an ignorant society who doesn't know what Democracy stands for or The Constitution .
    They have torn this country apart from every level. Trump shut down the way our government worked & LEFT THOUSANDS TO DIE IN A PANDEMIC!
    I was a Republican for 30 years.
    Not anymore, I am a Shamed of them .
    There are many who are complacent and that's even worse .NOT STANDING UP & fighting for the people who voted & put them in office. Now they have the voting system torn apart .
    If you have to cheat , lie & deny people the right to vote to win.
    You haven't won anything , your just a Low life Dictatorship .
    Causing war & a sick starving society who will 1 day turn on them.
    My Grandfather fought in WW1 & My Father & his brother's in WW2 .
    They fought to Keep this country Free ! When your fearful to speak the truth , you are not free anymore.

    I think our loving President is in tune, totally coherent, & great president who’s done everything perfectly right so far! I think he should be able to appoint as many Supreme Court justices as he can, and then circumvent the Senate and just put them in place whatever the number? !
    Communism doesn’t happen overnight but we can push it along if we try our best!
