Josh Hawley's 'smear' against Ketanji Brown Jackson is Missouri senator's hallmark
The Kansas City Star Editorial Board
Even before it was Missouri Showboat Josh Hawley’s turn to question Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson at her confirmation hearing on Monday, our junior senator had succeeded in getting himself name-checked by two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Eat your heart out, Ted Cruz.
Committee Chairman Dick Durbin of Illinois and Connecticut Democrat Richard Blumenthal both approvingly quoted a piece by Andrew McCarthy, of the conservative National Review, whose Monday column noted that Hawley’s spurious attack on the nominee as a coddler of pedophiles “appears meritless to the point of demagoguery.”
Yes, that’s our senator. And unlike Hawley, McCarthy has years of experience in actually trying child porn cases.
“There are strong philosophical arguments for opposing Judge Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court,” McCarthy wrote. “And she may in fact be too solicitous of criminals. But the implication that she has a soft spot for ‘sex offenders’ who ‘prey on children’ because she argued against severe mandatory minimum prison sentences for the receipt and distribution of pornographic images is a smear.”

They were off-topic and only designed to get attention and to harass her.
