Josh Hawley\u2019s (R-MO) questioning of Supreme Court nominee Judge\u00a0Ketanji Brown Jackson was an attempt to appeal to QAnon followers.<\/p>\n<p>Toobin said, \u201cYou have a judge here who\u2019s been on the bench for ten years almost, and we had the entire half-hour of Sen. Hawley\u2019s question about a single case where he got to recite the grisly details of, and say pedophilia over and over again. This is about appealing to the QAnon audience, this cult that is a big presence in Republican Party politics now, that is, where \u2014 Sen. Hawley is trying to ingratiate himself with that group and run for president with their support. This has very little to do with Judge Jackson, who, as has come out throughout the hearing today, is one of many judges who have found the sentencing guidelines in these child porn possession cases excessive. But I mean, that was really an extraordinary half-hour, all about a single case.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Phillip stated, \u201cI think, first of all, Jeffrey is absolutely right that this is definitely a dog whistle to the kind of QAnon right. And the substance of the argument, as has been explained many times, [doesn\u2019t] really check out. But, interesting to me, that this \u2014 she\u2019s addressed this now by this point in the day multiple times, and it\u2019s been actually an opportunity for her to explain an element of her resume that makes her actually quite unusual. She has been a trial court judge and has had to be in a position to make some of these very tough decisions, and that is actually a qualification that, even among the justices currently on the Supreme Court, she would be only in the company of Sonia Sotomayor in that respect. \u2026 And, in fact, in all of the questioning that came before it, she had a lot of opportunities to talk about some other cases that Sen. Hawley didn\u2019t mention in which she did follow, for example, the prosecutor\u2019s guidelines, and in other cases as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>Ian\u00a0Hanchett on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday\u2019s broadcast of CNN\u2019s \u201cSituation Room,\u201d CNN Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin and CNN Senior Political Correspondent Abby Phillip argued that Sen.
