In the third day of hearings Wednesday on the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court, several Republicans on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee interrogated her about sentences she handed down for child pornography offenses, disagreeing vehemently with her judicial decisions.
Republicans grilled her with questions she had already answered about seven cases — out of hundreds she handled as a federal district court judge — that dealt with child pornography, in an attempt to paint her as soft on offenders convicted of heinous charges.
Jackson in response to Sens. Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley defended her record — despite numerous interruptions from the senators — and attempted to explain the complexity of federal sentencing, as she had on Tuesday.
She objected to Hawley and other Republicans’ focus on sentencing in such a small number of cases, repeating throughout the day that “no one case can stand in for a judge’s entire record.”
Democrats on the 22-member committee stressed her qualifications and her high ratings from law enforcement groups like the Fraternal Order of Police. Sen. Jon Ossoff, a Georgia Democrat, invited Jackson to talk about her brother, who is a law enforcement officer, as well as her two uncles who served in law enforcement.

Politics at the federal level demonstrate our devolving Second Civil War.

She will be confirmed. Again I am an independent, let’s be real there have been nowhere near the antics that existed for the past couple of Justices nominations. She did not have hundreds of child porn cases, she had nearer to ten and the other three left out by Republicans did have sentences that met the standard. Whatever her reasons cutting a break for humanities worst is not a good thing.
As I said up front, she will be confirmed.

LTC David Brown Gay gene? That's not part of the discussion.
Now your inability to distinguish between Identity and Orientation should come as a shock but doesn't. I gave you relevant information for you to read and study. Now I admit the first one was most likely over your head intellectually speaking but my hopes were you would see it as a challenge and work to understand it but instead you retreated to ignorance. I even gave you a dumbed down version and the results were the same. Ignorance.
A last hope link for you.

SGT (Join to see) - I read through the analysis of your studies a second time. I could not find any definitive findings directly linking transgender behavior to intrauterine hormonal influences or bran structure differences. If they exist could you point them out to me.
