Democrats, who had tried to dismiss Hawley\u2019s claims as factually incorrect, retreated to arguing that Judge Jackson had legitimate policy disagreements with the established federal sentencing guidelines, and blamed congressional inaction.<\/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>Republicans were not willing to let Judge Jackson off the hook.\u00a0Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) questioned Judge Jackson about why she seemed not to agree that prison was a deterrent against child pornography.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Cruz, who first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/23\/watch-ted-cruz-can-i-decide-i-am-a-woman-and-sue-then-change-my-mind\/\">questioned<\/a> the nominee about her views on gender and racial discrimination, ran out of time as he attempted to elicit explanations, and he objected that Judge Jackson was filibustering in an attempt to avoid answering his questions. He and Senate Judiciary Committee chair Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) engaged in tense exchanges, as Durbin accused Cruz of interrupting her answers.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Sen. Hawley, with a full 20 minutes on the clock, picked up where Sen. Cruz had left off, and asked Judge Jackson about her decision to issue lenient sentences in specific cases. Jackson refused to answer, saying she had already answered Hawley\u2019s question. She also repeatedly claimed that \u201cno one case can stand for\u201d her entire judicial record, and said that as a mother of daughters, and as someone with family members in law enforcement, she took child pornography cases seriously.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
