I&I:
“Justice demands this result.” That’s what Ketanji Brown Jackson said in 2011 after the U.S. Sentencing Commission knocked as much as three years off the prison terms of crack-cocaine convicts. As vice chair of the commission, Jackson believed the nation’s drug laws were overly harsh and especially “unfair” to blacks.
A month earlier, Jackson had shrugged off Justice Department warnings that the decision — which made more than 12,000 federal crack inmates eligible for early release — could flood the streets with dangerous criminals who would likely reoffend.
“[B]y keeping them in longer, it doesn’t seem to make a difference with regard to whether or not they recidivate,” Jackson reasoned in a June 2011 commission hearing in Washington, according to transcripts reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.
Then-U.S. Attorney Stephanie Rose objected: “It does protect the safety of the public, though, when they’re not present to recidivate.”
Unpersuaded, Jackson countered: “But the amount of time in jail doesn’t affect that because there’s no difference. If we keep them in jail for the extra 36 months, or whatever, they’re going to recidivate at the same rate as if we released them early. So I don’t see how public protection is being affected one way or the other in that scenario.”
“Because during the three years they are in prison, they are not out committing new crimes — that’s the difference,” Rose replied, adding that the department had “public safety concerns” over cutting prison terms for so many felons at once. read more
She gets installed and we will probably have to go to war with our despotic guberment.
She’s a friend to criminals and the criminals in DC love her.
Another evil clown for Brandon’s circus
This is Conservative(TM) Deep Thought(TM). “If we support Evil, until tomorrow… Maybe… Just maybe… Jesus will holynuke those that call us ‘enemy’. Tomorrow. Maybe. And we’ll be blessed. For farting into our La-Z-Boys. Same as we ever did.”
Who, else, wouldn’t Voat Harderer!(TM) for such a Plan(TM)?
She sounds like a Kamala-class SJW. Please keep her off the Court.
Are there enough congress critters with balls to Bork this terrible excuse for this justice to be nominated to the Supreme Court? I know it’s a rhetorical question, but please God deliver us from the evil this woman and the rest of the other 4 or 5 ungodly justices can do to this country and especially that rat bastard Chief Justice John Roberts.
If Ketanji Brown Jackson can not define what a woman is then why does the next Supreme Court Justice need to be a woman?
She’s a fucking moron, and a useful idiot of the left: the Kamala Harris of Supreme Court justices. And probably as dumb as Sotomayor.
Headline should read “Soft on Black Criminals”. She’s a racist.
