President Biden has nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court. Recently The Daily Wire<\/a> posted an article about some of the items Judge Jackson has supported in the past.<\/p>\n

The article reports Judge Jackson’s stand on various issues:<\/p>\n

Abortion:<\/span> Ketanji Brown Jackson represented<\/a>\u00a0NARAL Pro-Choice America, the League of Women Voters, and the Abortion Access Project of Massachusetts during her time in Boston\u2019s Goodwin Procter law firm. In 2001, she helped write<\/a> an amicus <\/em>brief supporting a Massachusetts law that barred pro-life advocates from setting foot within six feet of any individual or vehicle that is within 18 feet of an abortion facility. Jackson\u2019s record has earned her the fierce opposition of female leaders in the pro-life movement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Crime:<\/span> Ketanji Brown Jackson served as vice chairman of the U.S. Sentencing Commission during the Obama administration. In April 2014, the commission propounded the \u201cDrugs Minus Two\u201d rule, which lowered the punishment for all drug-related crimes by two offense levels. The rule, which applied to an estimated 46,000<\/a> convicts, allowed judges to reduce convicts\u2019 drug sentences by an average of two years and one month<\/a>. \u201cThe result of the Sentencing Commission\u2019s proposal will be to reward drug traffickers and distributors who possessed a firearm, committed a crime of violence, or had prior convictions,\u201d wrote<\/a> Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and then-Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Immigration:<\/span> In September 2019, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote a 120-page ruling<\/a> (Make the Road New York v. McAleenan<\/em>) that the Trump administration could not expand its use of \u201cexpedited removal<\/a>\u201d: that it could not fast-track the deportation of illegal aliens who had been in the country less than two years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Funding teen sex programs:<\/span> When the Trump administration cut off $200 million in federal funding to the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, which teaches children as young as 10 to use condoms<\/a> and other contraceptives without emphasizing abstinence, Judge Jackson ruled<\/a> that the funding must continue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Government bureaucracy and labor unions:<\/span> In 2018, President Donald Trump issued<\/a> three executive orders that would reduce the power of public sector unions and make it easier to fire employees for poor performance. They also ordered employees to spend at least 75% of their time on \u201cagency business.\u201d Trump limited the use of \u201cofficial time<\/a>,\u201d which allows government bureaucrats to use government resources to conduct union business during working hours, at taxpayers\u2019 expense<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also said the government would not negotiate with labor unions on issues where it was not legally required to do so. In August 2018, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a 119-page decision<\/a> eviscerating those orders, denying most of Trump\u2019s actions (American Federation of Government <\/em>Employees v. Trump<\/em>). She admitted that, while Trump\u2019s action did not \u201cspecifically and directly conflict with individual statutory prescriptions\u201d (i.e., he did not violate the law), it so \u201cdiminishes the scope of bargaining\u201d that, it seemed to Jackson, Trump\u2019s orders are no longer \u201ca good-faith effort.\u201d The D.C. Court of Appeals once again overturned<\/a> Jackson\u2019s decision, ruling that Jackson lacked jurisdiction to rule on the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please follow the link to the article to read all of the notes on Judge Jackson’s previous decisions. She is not someone who is going to put the U.S. Constitution above her own political agenda. I suspect she will be confirmed, but that is not good news for America.<\/p>\n
