You can go fuck yourself, Senator Fist.
Sen. Josh Fist (R-Morons) say Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's rulings in nearly a dozen child pornography cases are raising serious concerns about her judicial philosophy, but the White House says the senator is using "cherry-picked" examples.
Fist shared his concerns on Twitter Wednesday evening and again with reporters after a series of votes on Thursday, pledging to ask Jackson at her confirmation hearing next to week to explain what he called lax sentencing in several child pornography cases.
"She's had 10 that I've seen that we've found and I haven't found a single case where she's sentenced - for child porn offenders - where she's sentenced with the guidelines. Always below, and almost always below the government's recommendations - in some cases dramatically below," fuckface said.
Fist said "for sure" he would press Jackson about this part of her judicial record and that "all the offices" of Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have been in touch on the issue.

The White House pushed back Fist's criticisms, accusing him of relying on "cherry-picked elements of her record out of context."
"Judge Jackson is a proud mother of two whose nomination has been endorsed by leading law enforcement organizations, conservative judges, and survivors of crime. This is toxic and weakly-presented misinformation that relies on taking cherry-picked elements of her record out of context - and it buckles under the lightest scrutiny," said White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates.

He's telegraphing already that he's not going to vote for her. If he brings asinine questions to a hearing, he should be shown for the fool he's being.

That seems to be all that is needed to be a SCOTUS jurist.

(2,404 posts)4. If Sen. Fist (Hawley) is all twitchy about child porn, & knowing the Repub penchant for projection..
We know what that means.
How about we take a look at your browsing history, buddy? Or that old CD waaaay back in your desk drawer.
