I missed this... Justice Jackson, when she was a Judge, presided over pizzagate

Edgar Maddison Welch, who fired shots in a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant in December, was sentenced to four years in prison for federal and local crimes.

Welch, 29, was arrested for firing an AR-15 inside the D.C. restaurant Comet Ping Pong, as he investigated an unfounded conspiracy theory dubbed "Pizzagate" that the restaurant was involved in a child sex-trafficking ring connected to Hillary Clinton.

--snip--

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson called "the extent of the recklessness" of the defendant's actions "breathtaking" as she sentenced Welch on Thursday.

Jackson said she had no reason to doubt that Welch "thought" he was "being helpful," but said she could not "overstate" the concern that "other people will see what you have done and be inspired by it."

Yet another reason for the qnuts to have gone after her so hard.

You know, I wonder if we can get a website set up where we can read her verdicts on cases over which she presides.

I recall someone saying that her decisions are really well written. I would love to read them.

Today’s verdict and quotes from it are a great example. I love learning about the law and look forward to her decisions once she takes her rightful seat on SCOTUS. I bet her dissents are going to be pointed and cause shame amongst the Conservative side. They will be red faced in shame, even if we won’t have the pleasure of witnessing it.

They could have gone with all kinds of other nonsense, but the Q-nuts must really have it in for her.
