NJ Senator Corey Booker on Monday stated what was obvious to many observers -- the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee used the hearings as to Judge Jackson more to air grievances than to discuss her qualifications for the appointment. Whining about what happened with Kavanaugh and Barrett is not discussing Jackson.
Notably, he asked: "How qualified must a person be?" No one has creditably stated that Judge Jackson with her training, experience and education is unqualified. What the senators did not state is that Judge Jackson rulings and sentencings had been well inside the norms for judicial action. Remarkably, 70 to 80% of judges go below sentencing guidelines but the Republicans had confirmed Republican judges that did so but now questioned Jackson about her record.
As to the hearing:
Quote:
Democrats did not query Republican nominees about their views on theories of race or about how other justices’ hearings were handled. When Democrats did not believe some of Kavanaugh’s testimony, they did not call him a liar. These courtesies were not extended to Jackson.
They were too cordial and easy on her and they need to get payback. They should have found someone from her past to fabricate stuff, but they’re too scared to be called racist.
