On Monday, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee met to consider the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the high court. In recent days, Jackson has taken harsh criticism over her lenient sentencing of seuxal predators, specifically in child pornography cases. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) roasted Jackson over seven specific cases where predators were let off easy.
Hawley cited cases such as United States vs. Hawkins, where the guilty was recommended 97 to 121 months in prison for these offenses by the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Jackson gave the defendent only three months in prison. Other cases Hawley mentioned were even more grave.

Sen. Lindsey Graham then called out leftists’ hipocrisy regarding the nomination of Judge Jackson, mentioning another district judge nominee who called Democrats out for double standards.
According to The Hill:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) fumed over progressive criticism of J. Michelle Childs, a district court nominee who was also a Supreme Court contender, and accused Democrats of holding a double standard against GOP nominees.
Graham’s remarks, which came near the start of the four-day hearing for President Biden‘s actual nominee for the court — Ketanji Brown Jackson — are the most extensive comments Graham has given on Jackson’s nomination since his meeting with Jackson last week.
…
“The attacks from the left against Judge Childs was really pretty vicious, to be honest with you,” Graham said.
…
“This is a new game for the Supreme Court, and this game is particularly disturbing to me,” Graham said.
“If that’s the way the game’s going to be played then I’ll have a response, and I don’t expect it to … reward that way of playing the game,” he added.
He also told Jackson how the media is her best friend:
