Hawley Exposes Her Disgraceful Child Porn Rulings Record The White House responded Thursday to the exposé by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) on the soft on child porn criminals record of Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, calling Hawleys attack on Jacksons qualifications to the high court, toxic, misinformation and cherry-picked. Hawley replied, So other than these juvenile histrionics, the White House has no substantive answers for the judicial record of a person they nominated On Wednesday, Hawley posted a Twitter thread based on Jacksons record as a federal judge and as a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission that showed Jackson consistently sympathized with and sentenced child porn offenders to sentences well below those in the sentencing guidelines. First tweet posted below, the rest in the thread are quoted and can be viewed by clicking on the tweet. Ive been researching the record of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, reading her opinions, articles, interviews & speeches. Ive noticed an alarming pattern when it comes to Judge Jacksons treatment of sex offenders, especially those preying on children
Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker. Shes been advocating for it since law school. This goes beyond soft on crime. Im concerned that this a record that endangers our children. As far back as her time in law school, Judge Jackson has questioned making convicts register as sex offenders saying it leads to stigmatization and ostracism. Shes suggested public policy is driven by a climate of fear, hatred & revenge against sex offenders
Judge Jackson has also questioned sending dangerous sex offenders to civil commitment. We have a civil commitment law in Missouri, and it protects children It gets worse. As a member of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Judge Jackson advocated for drastic change in how the law treats sex offenders by eliminating the existing mandatory minimum sentences for child porn
Judge Jackson has said that some people who possess child porn are in this for either the collection, or the people who are loners and find status in their participation in the community. What community would that be? The community of child exploiters?
Judge Jackson has opined there may be a type of less-serious child pornography offender whose motivation is not sexual but is the challenge, or to use the technology. A less-serious child porn offender? In her time on the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Judge Jackson said she mistakingly assumed that child pornography offenders are pedophiles and she wanted to understand this category of nonpedophiles who obtain child pornography. On the federal bench, Judge Jackson put her troubling views into action. In every single child porn case for which we can find records, Judge Jackson deviated from the federal sentencing guidelines in favor of child porn offenders. In the case of United States v. Hawkins, the sex offender had multiple images of child porn. He was over 18. The Sentencing Guidelines called for a sentence of up to 10 years. Judge Jackson sentenced the perpetrator to only 3 months in prison. Three months. In United States v. Stewart, the criminal possessed thousands of images of child porn and also hoped to travel across state lines to abuse a 9-year-old girl. The Guidelines called for a sentence of 97-121 months. Judge Jackson sentenced the criminal to just 57 months. In United States v. Cooper, in which the criminal had more than 600 images and videos and posted many on a public blog, the Guidelines called for a sentence of 151-188 months. Judge Jackson settled on 60 months, the lowest possible sentence allowed by law. In United States v. Chazin, the offender had 48 files of child porn, which he had accessed over a period of years. The Guidelines recommended 78-97 months. Judge Jackson gave him 28. In United States v. Downs, the perp posted multiple images to an anonymous instant messaging app, including an image of a child under the age of 5. The Guidelines recommended 70-87 months. Judge Jackson gave him the lowest sentence allowed by law, 60 months In United States v. Sears, the sex offender distributed more than 102 child porn videos. He also sent lewd pictures of his own 10-year-old daughter. The Guidelines recommended 97-121 months in prison. Judge Jackson gave him 71 months. In United States v. Savage, the sex offender was convicted of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, and also admitted to transporting child porn. The Guidelines recommended 46-57 months. Judge Jackson gave him 37. This is a disturbing record for any judge, but especially one nominated to the highest court in the land. Protecting the most vulnerable shouldnt be up for debate. Sending child predators to jail shouldnt be controversial
So far, the Sentencing Commission has refused to turn over all Judge Jacksons records from her time there. In light of what we have learned, this stonewalling must end. We must get access to all relevant records Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest

A better question would be, who where the defendants in those cases that she ruled in such a way?
"Call Me Ishmael" -Ishmael, A character from the book "Moby Dick" 1851. "Call Me Fishmeal" -Osama Bin Laden, A character created by the CIA, and the world's Hide And Seek Champion 2001-2011. -Tommythemadartist
She is right. If they didn't do anything to a child, it is not a crime.
You must mean the race of the defendants. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
