judge ketanji brown jackson's in the mainstream of sentencing when it comes to these cases. seventy-eight -- 80% of federal judges divert from the guidelines as she is in some cases. and let me add, her accusers have been voting for federal judges proposed by president trump right and left who do exactly the same thing she does. i asked consent to enter into the record "new york times" article of march 25, 2022. entitled jackson's critics back judges with like rulings. >> without objection. >> it tells a story and the story is very clear. we have a situation in the country were we have not upgraded child pornography and sexual misconduct statutes in years. across the board 70 -- 80% of federal judges take the same position as judge ketanji brown jackson the so-called deviations from the guidelines has become commonplace as i said the overwhelming majority of federal judges are doing this. is there event problem? there is the problem is we have not upgraded the statute. we bear responsibility for this. the decision was made with for the supreme court these guidelines would no

for all of the focus that my colleagues had been limited hope that judge ketanji brown jackson would come ready to tell us about hers but she didn't and instead she came armed with a methodology that spoke to her process that said very little about her approach, the constitutional interpretation and after the hysteria they came out at amy coney barrett, that we might discover what my democratic colleagues think would be more effective than a constitutionalist but i will note, to ask that, you are not supposed to do that, but suddenly, judicial philosophy meant nothing, they said don't asked that question, what roll thehe constitution place in jude ketanji brown jackson meant nothing to them and to ask that question. wanted to be very bad news but this is not a subject the american people are willing to ignore, they want you to ask the question, they get answers and they don't expect it to agree with the justice 100 percent of the time, but they do expect those nominees to appear to have standards and they want the constitutional list, not the judicial activist, and at this point comi

ketanji brown jackson. she is more qualified than anyone sitting on the bench. if you look at her record, lindsey graham, josh hawley, and ted cruz and the rest of them tried to disparage her by calling her literally un-american. she is more qualified than them to even be senators. i am disappointed. this particular seat they want to get down. when cavanagh was going through his stuff -- when judge kavanaugh was going through his stuff and he -- they brought accusations against him and amy coney barrett. she based her whole career on faith answer comes lindsey graham nt once political theatrics. that is all it is. host: william in new york, good morning. caller: i oppose this lady, she is a wolf in sheep's clothing -- a wolf in sheep's clothing. she is into critical race theory and she wants to train up kids to be racist. host: why do you think she wants to train people to be racist? caller: because she is in this public school in d.c. she lied that she is not in this committee with all of these books. host

"the fbi must remain neutral in political nominations and confirmation processes. accordingly, a party for any nominee would be inappropriate. we apologize for any misunderstanding surrounding the publicity." not that we did it, but the use of how we misunderstood the publicity. there was no publicity. we read the invitation. the update included a new flyer that removed any mention of brown jackson. not a misunderstanding pay they said out loud what everybody knows, the fbi is a

we will talk about ketanji brown jackson being a former public defender. can you talk about the judge's record on these guantÁnamo cases and the allegations made by both john cornyn and lindsey graham? >> sure. thank you. judge jackson was one of many hundreds of lawyers who joined the project to challenge this remarkable authoritarian experiment in guantanamo that purported -- that actually held muslims on an island without any protection for lower t they were subject to persistent torture and arbitrary attention based on say so. sort of criticized her work in that project is nonsensical. she is operating in the highest position of the law. [indiscernible] lies about things like hune treatment, lies about national security and compliance with law. in terms of -- graham is living in a post-9/11 fever dream where he wants to fight these old battles. the 31% recidivism number is made up soviet-style number design to mask come again, fundamental lies about guantanamo. overwhelming majority has absolutely nothing to do with initiating any fighting, let alone

that is not the fault of ketanji brown jackson. apparently, according to lindsey graham, she needs to pay for that. i'm going let you say your thoughts. >> well, you know, i think this is an interesting point to start with. i look at this very much tailored to confirmations. if you look at the demeanor that ketanji brown jackson displayed throughout her hearing, she's been poised, unflappable, she's been brilliant. imagine if she had the same misdemeanor brett kavanaugh had. at one point, kavanaugh literally said i drink beer because i like beer. he was being requested about legitimate allegations of sexual assault and criminal act. here you have a woman, a black woman, who was being questioned about things that one decision and one sentencing out of literally hundreds we're not talking about something criminal yet she's expected to have the poise and demeanor she's sitting there and listening to questions that are ridiculous and still smiling and maintaining her composure. when you consider how it plays out with respect to the fac
