'I hope Gitmo detainees die in jail': Furious Lindsey Graham STORMS OUT of SCOTUS nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's hearing after she backed defending terror suspects
2022-03-23
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Senator Lindsey Graham had a heated rant before storming out of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation questioning Tuesday

  • He was railing against Democrats and advocates who want Guantanamo Bay detainees released

  • 'As long as they're dangerous, I hope they all die in jail if they're going to go back and kill Americans,' Graham yelled when speaking of the Guantanamo Bay detainees

  • Added: 'It won't bother me one bit if 39 of them die in prison. That's a better outcome than letting them go'

  • Jackson arrived at the Capitol Tuesday for the second day of her confirmation hearings before the senate Judiciary Committee

  • She passionately defended her record in sentencing child porn offenders

  • Said she was limited by sentencing guidelines by statutes and Congress

  • Also would not weigh in on whether she would support court packing

  • 'I am not importing my personal views or policy preferences,' she ensured

  • Jackson made history Monday by appearing before the panel as the first black woman nominated to the Supreme Court

#7  Those in GITMO should have been shot as soon as any information they had was too old to be useful. They're homo hostis generis, and deserve no trials.

#6  ^ If enough of that sort of thing becomes "legal," society at large will just have to deal with it in "other ways..."

#5  The Washington establishment wants to decriminalize child molestation and add it to the LGBT community list of activities.

She is very likely to be confirmed.

#4  Remember they got Trump's lawyers to quit on threats of just representing him. They set the standard, now live with it.

#1  Graham is an USAF reserve JAG officer, IIRC. Nice to see a member of the bar uphold due process and right to a speedy trial (o.k., the jury of one's peers might be tough with those scum bags at GITMO, but still....).
