Sen. Lindsey Graham announced Thursday that he will vote against confirming Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, citing her record of “judicial activism” and questions about her sentencing of child sex predators below the recommendations of prosecutors. Graham (R-SC), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said during remarks on the chamber floor that he would not vote for Jackson to become the first black woman on the nation’s highest court.“My decision is based upon her record of judicial activism, flawed sentencing methodology regarding child pornography cases, and a belief that Judge Jackson will not be deterred by the plain meaning of the law when it comes to liberal causes,” Graham said.
