Sen. Josh Hawley on Monday reiterated his allegations about Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's"lenient" sentencing in several child pornography-related cases but clarified he's not"interested in trying to play gotcha."
During introductory statements on Jackson's first day before the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday, Hawley emphasized,"I'm not interested in trapping Judge Jackson.
"He was over 18," Hawley wrote."The Sentencing Guidelines called for a sentence of up to 10 years. Judge Jackson sentenced the perpetrator to only 3 months in prison. Three months." "Here's my point," Hawley added Monday."I think it's difficult against this backdrop to argue that the sentencing guidelines are too harsh or outmoded, or that we should be somehow treating child porn offenders more leniently than the guidelines recommend, but I want to be clear about this."
