Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said in the early days of the pandemic it would be "reasonable" to release "each and every" person in District of Columbia jails, and she went on to grant COVID-related releases to defendants and inmates implicated in serious crimes. In the early days of the pandemic, Judge Jackson made a passionate appeal on behalf of inmates in Washington, D.C., jails and said pandemic conditions could justify releasing them.
In one instance, Jackson granted pretrial release to a defendant allegedly involved in a deadly fentanyl-trafficking ring, requiring only that he comply with a 10 p.m. curfew. In another case, she released an inmate with multiple bank robbery convictions. Prosecutors opposed both moves.
COVID outbreaks were common in prisons across the country and prompted authorities to reduce jail populations to slow transmission. As of this writing, 292 inmates have died of COVID out of 135,000 in the federal system—less than one quarter of one percent—according to the Bureau of Prisons. Some researchers suggest this move contributed to the late spike in violent crime.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - She should not be on the Supreme Court IMHO! She is too soft on Crime! I bet if she had been attacked on the streets of D.C. that she would rapidly change her tune... Just saying...

I think it was pretty much a given that the Democrats will push her through being that she fills a certain quota that they wanna see. Add in the fact that she seems to be hard-left, we're in a world of hurt.
"She's only actually published a single decision as an appellate judge..."

It is a little hard to understand because we are not used to it, so here is a website. Different country's uses different systems, they don't use insurance companies. This will explain it better.

How Does Healthcare in Europe Work?
Here's a brief overview of how healthcare in Europe works, how it compares to the United States, and how it impacts employee benefit programs.

OMG, excuse the forwardness, not trying to rude but are you that dumb??? What answer do you want me to give or do you want me to read what's in the websites??????? Please Read the sites. Different country's use different types of health care. Italy France use different types of single payer, they incorporate different outside things so everybody can afford health care. Its hard to give you a name because its called different. I can tell you Affordable Health Care is one name. I have tried to explain Kodak they way it happened I LIVE IN ROCHESTER, I DON'T NEED OUTSIDE INTERPRETATIONS ON WHAT HAPPENED. PEOPLE i KNOW WORKED THERE, SAW IT ON THE NEWS AND I SAW THE RESULTS.

FN Steven Santucci - This isn't Italy or France. Or even any other country in Europe. Which private company, with no ties to the insurance companies do you propose is going to be running our healthcare here? I don't give a shit what Italy is doing. Italy has a population of 60m. We have 330m. That's a big difference.
If the government is mandating the coverage that you must have (like a single male having to carry maternity coverage), how do you propose that's going to work?
You didn't try to explain what happened to Kodak, you just blamed it on Republicans.
And by the way, affordable healthcare does not equal quality healthcare. You get what you pay for.

If you want to believe the RepubliCONS go right a head, that's your choice. I can only tell tell you that they lied about Jackson. And doesn't support pedophilia THAT IS A BOLD FACE LIE BY REPUBLICONS, She was following what Congress said to do as a judge if Congress put into law you can only sentence a person to 5 years Max would a judge sentence 10 years?? Of Course not because it would be appealed that person would be freed. Soft on crime, look at other judges see what they sentenced. All politicians lie, but it appears that RepubliCONS lie more. Again look at the 3 tax cut they passed Reagan, Bush and tRump. All 3 lied about taxes all 3 passed tax cuts with no spending cuts. You cant balance a budget when you take income out of the picture.

FN Steven Santucci - You might want to recheck your resources, Steve. She went against sentencing guidelines in many of her rulings giving them more lenient sentences. Including the kiddie porn guys.

I already have, RepubliCONS are blowing this out of proportion. Cruz lied, Cory Booker had to straightened them out. She got confirmed with 3 Republicons CONFIRMING her. How many Democrats confirmed Kavanaugh??????? I tell you 0. And Democrats didn't lie.
