The U.S. Senate will soon be voting on Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States.
At least three reasons exist why President Biden's nomination of Ketanji Brown-Jackson should not be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
First, Judge Jackson has demonstrated her willingness to pander to the radical left by refusing to provide the definition of the word "woman." In Judge Jackson's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Judge Jackson refused to define the word "woman." This alone should be sufficient grounds for her disqualification. It's absurd and an attack on the family for the 52-year-old, Harvard-educated, female federal judge to say she can’t define the term woman. Of course, Judge Jackson knows what a woman is—she is one. That's one reason President Biden nominated her, but she wouldn't admit it because the correct response would alienate the radical left. This is concerning because no Supreme Court Justice should cater to the radical left's transgender agenda that destroys, not just women's sports and college scholarships, but also the unique and essential role of women in our nation.
Second, she has failed to demonstrate that she would forsake the anti-constitutional practice of legislating from the bench. During the entirety of her testimony before the U.S. Senate, Judge Jackson failed to renounce the activist judicial philosophy of her mentor, Justice Stephen Breyer.
Third, Judge Jackson has consistently issued lenient sentences to child porn offenders. Her sentencing has been consistently well below both the Congressional Sentencing Guidelines and the prosecutorial recommendations.
This is sufficient evidence that Judge Jackson should not be confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States. Accordingly, I ask you to contact your senators now and respectfully urge them to vote 'No' on the confirmation of Ketanji Brown-Jackson.
