KBJ: Soft On Crime

In 1992, Ketanji Brown Jackson said that “tough on crime” is merely a political tool “once the American public becomes enraged about criminal activity.” Because of the radical policies of Democrat politicians, homicides are at record levels. Does she still believe “tough on crime” is merely a political tool?

Two areas raise particular concern.

Illegal Immigration – Biden’s border crisis is the worst in DHS history. Jackson has blocked enforcement of immigration law and efforts to secure the border.

• In Jackson’s legal writings that deal with immigration, she consistently refuses to refer to immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally as “illegal” immigrants.
• In 2019, Jackson wrote an opinion in favor of pro-immigration groups against the Trump administration that struck down a rule that would expand the “Expedited Removal” program.
  • Jackson’s ruling was quickly struck down by the D.C. Circuit court as judicial overreach.

Sex Offenders – Jackson has called for removing mandatory minimum sentences for child porn, questioned making convicted child predators register as sex offenders, and said some who collect child porn are not actually pedophiles.

• In every single child porn case that she was a part of, Jackson deviated from the federal sentencing guidelines in favor of the child porn offenders.
  • In United States v. Hawkins, the sex offender was sentenced to 3 months by Jackson despite the sentencing guidelines calling for up to 10 years.
  • In United States v. Stewart, the sex offender was sentenced to 57 months by Jackson despite the guidelines calling for a sentence of 97-121 months.
  • In United States v Cooper, the sex offender was sentenced to 60 months by Jackson despite the guidelines calling for a sentence of 151-188 months.
  • In United States v. Chazin, the sex offender was sentenced to 28 months by Jackson despite the guidelines calling for 78-97 months.
  • In United States v. Downs, the sex offender was sentenced to 60 months (the lowest sentence allowed by law) by Jackson despite the guidelines calling for a sentence of 70-87 months.
  • In United States v. Sears, the sex offender was sentenced to 71 months by Jackson despite the guidelines calling for a sentence of 97-121 months.
  • In United States v. Savage, the sex offender was sentenced to 37 months by Jackson despite the guidelines calling for a sentence of 46-57months.

Biden is already undermining law and order in this country. Americans do not want a justice who will rubberstamp his radical agenda.
