The Senate hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court nomination are not going well. Senate Judiciary Committee chair Dick Durbin is blocking the release of documents showing Brown Jackson's actual record as a judge, taking a page from the tactics of impeachment-obsessed Rep. Adam Schiff. That's how Democrats do hearings these days. According to John Solomon's Just The News:
The Biden administration is keeping more than 48,000 pages of records about Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson from senators reviewing her nomination, including documents about her time at the U.S. Sentencing Commission that she has made a central part of her professional story. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) is "hiding" records from Jackson's time as vice chair of the Sentencing Commission, where she championed leniency for child predators, says Michael Davis, former chief counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Monday that 16,000 pages of substantive content has been released on Jackson, compared to the 48,000 pages withheld by the White House under the Presidential Records Act and FOIA exemptions [and] "Durbin has refused a request by Republican senators to look at her records on the sentencing commission," Davis told "Just the News — Not Noise" on Monday, hours after Jackson's first day of testimony in front of the committee weighing her nomination to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer................
If there's to be no discussion of the Brown Jackson record, then it's time to bring out the frat parties and whatever it was she did when she was 17, complete with charlatan witnesses, just as the Democrats did. I'd be curious if she ever shouted down a speaker when she was at law school, which, Yale Law students are learning the hard way, is not a sign of a judicial temperament.
The message needs to get out from Republicans that Durbin can have it one way or the other, but he cannot have both. They need to read him the riot act and get the Brown Jackson record into the Senate hearings........................To Read More....
